Hi, Im not sure if many of you know, but I have quite a passion for digital artwork, especially horses. I shall post them up later, but unfortunatly they are not very good at the moment, but I should be soon getting an art tablet for my birthday! These are all done my mouse at the moment, using gimp version 2. I have been doing artwork for just over a few years now I think, so I am aiming for double the quality by the end of this year! Also, feel free to use them as a desktop background, they should work! ^_^

anyway, onto the pieces! :proud:

This was the first of my backgrounds. I was extremly pleased with how this turned out!

Okay, this was my second attempt. It wasnt as complex as the other one, and it looked nice simple so I just left it like it was. I think this has to be my fave! :wub:

This one is a slightly different shape, and a lot more busy. I diddnt like how this one turned out, but its still okay I guess.

Again, another like the one above, this was a request. Its not as hectic but still not as nice as the others. :what:

This one is completely different to the others, I was just trying out to see what I could do and came up with this. Its not fantastic though. Its supposed to be a night sky and snowing, and a really bright star shining down at the camera, hence the camera lense thingy!


I am open to any qritique, but please dont bash me, i am trying my best ^_^

It should autmoatically re-size it to your desktop size D: If not then I shall have a go but it may come out all pixelated.

Good concepts, though not exactly sized for desktops. ._.

They do resize themselves to fit the screen. but they become pixelated

I like them. it certainly goes for a specific crowed of people

maybe something neutral will get everyone's attention.

It's a little to dramatic, it doesn't flow well. But they are pretty good...To small for a background though..

And there-in lies the problem. If anything, you should make them too big for a normal screen, not too small for one.

Just resize your brushes, details, and effects. Filters will adjust themselves for the most part. Just do what you were doing with those, but zoom way out so you document looks smaller. :)

Nice work, the colors work really well together. Maybe you could start a bussiness someday, you never know.
