I think I'm gonna use it :P It's really nice. I tried making myself a wallpaper, and I didn't have any luck. XD

I'm not a fan of making them; however, give me some information and I'll make one. :)

Such as:
YOUR desktop resolution.
Theme: ie A band, An animal such as mine is, A sport.
Style: Pop-Art, Grunge/Trash, Soft (mine).
Any texts.

Yes, I'll include my logo, but if you'd like, I'd watermark it in an inconspicuous spot to avoid stealing from the wallpaper. :P

I can't be on at all times :p.

My only gripe would be that the contrast difference between the dark background and the light blue bird is too strong - as a result, the bird acts as a strong attraction point, distracting from the rest of the space. While this can be a strength for illustration purposes, it is IMHO a disadvantage for a wallpaper, which should stay as neutral as possible.

Also, the signatures/watermarks are too big and ruin the overall view. Consider making them smaller/more discrete. The top border is usually better for those than the bottom one due to the different taskbar sizes that may cover them.

Nothing else to say, Commander!

First, let me step back and say thank you. Most critiques I get, especially in my sig thread are inadequate and seem moreorless like compliments. So thanks for a real critique.

Next to justify my reasoning. :) I agree with wallpapers needing to be neutral; however, I don't always follow this rule. As I'm an avid sig maker, I'm a strong believer in focal points, this is a focus on that. Also, the intention was to make the bird stand out drastically. Though, for a normal project I agree with you.

The texts- If this were for anyone, as this is a personal wallpaper, I wouldn't have my logo on it, and the texts would be more centered to avoid taskbar overlapping. :)

Really interesting piece. It definitely is a great wallpaper; it's simple, and it works. I just feel that there could be more of a "wow" factor to it. Maybe give it some more lighting around the wings, or bring out the bird itself out more.

I really enjoy minimalistic pieces.

I'm liking the last one, but I think it'd be better without the purple and red stripes- at least not stretching out to the edges of the image.

Possibly; I see what you mean.
I suppose I could have used some other form to help combine the elements.

I took the last one to my computer! They look pretty nice :) I think you should add some glowing to the stars or whatever it is on the first wallpaper, and maybe some motion blur ;)
