The wallpaper needs to be 1024 x 768 (that\'s the size format used by our [url=\"http://changer.killanet.net\"]Wallpaper Changer[/url]) (ack that page needs updating)

To add your wallpaper to the competition, use the File Attachment feature in \"Reply To Post\"
1. Browse to the file on your computer, click on it
2. Click on Add This Attachment

once the file is uploaded, click on Add To Post; an [attachement ID] will show up on the text field of your reply. Click submit, and once the topic is posted you\'ll see a thumbnail for your entry

...and thank you for the compliment. We\'re a bit different from alot of the other graphics forums, and I hope you\'ll enjoy hanging around here.

here one from me i was bored sneaks behind ada and [img]http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_9_208.gif[/img] hehe

chilli99 · Post by **chilli99** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 4:09 am

thanks hoax!
its all photoshop stuff, i like to try and create as much as poss from scratch, only used one source image of flames in the "neon" pic and none at all in the "inner eye"

is there any way i can look at previous work on here? i tried downloading but cant as ive uploaded nothing, and therefore have no idea what kinda levels styles etc etc ppl are working at

would be cool to check out some other ppls artworks...

Post by **Marko** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 5:20 am

Yeh I also like to make everything of mine, don\'t like using other peoples brushes or images so i\'ve rarely done so.

Um for other peoples artworks, you can check out my work at my website and you can cruise through the downloads section to see what other wallpapers people have made. Or just wait for adaera to reply, she knows where everything is

Chilli99, I really like those pics, they look good. I think the one that says neon looks the best, but the word "neon" just seems a little out of place to me...i dunno, maybe its just me

/unsure.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':unsure:\' /> But whatever, looks good

/biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' />

chilli99 · Post by **chilli99** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 9:23 am

thanks paddy

/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />

yeh i like that one more aswell, the text was me playing around trying to get a neon sign kinda look, all just experimenting really. its positioning broke up the image well as it was a bit to full on before for a wallpaper i thought, no one likes to have to squint at their monitor to stop being blinded!

think im gonna develope that piece further, having the lightning bolts etc coming from the text itself and giveing a better finished look, like an electric explosion kinda thing
looks like im gonna be doing some flyers for drum and bass club nights so the whole exploding, electricity etc theme is something im working on a lot at the mo as it lends itself well to that kinda graphic work

if i do ill post it up on here anyway

thanks for the comments, constructive critism is the way forward to improvement!

Nice to see someone\'s lit a fire under this thread and got it moving.

Good entries all round

im suprised with a forum like this there arent a lot more people using it!... i mean a wallpaper comp may be a simple idea but its a great way to gain exposure and if there were more members it could be a breeding ground for all sorts of opportunities....
are there much bigger forums that ppl tend to stick to? ive found they arent actually as easy to find as i thought theyld be, this one seems to be coming from just the right direction, everyone helping each other etc

excellent entries everyone. I\'ll put the poll vote up in about 40 hours, so if anyone else wants to enter, get to it.

/bigwink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' />

Chilli: yes, there are loads of bigger forums out there...but none masquerade as an insane asylum (well...I\'m not insane, but the rest of the group is).

/blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

KillaGraphix is actually a lot bigger than it looks; it is part of [url=\"http://www.killanettechnology.com\"]KillaNet Technology[/url] and some of the staff have been busy finishing up other sites or redoing old layouts, plus there are the preparations for [url=\"http://www.digitalstormlan.com\"]Digital Storm 2006[/url] underway. Building up other parts of the network tends to rob time away from writing tutorials and coming up with new work, at least for the staff. However, that said, I think that over the next few months you will begin to see more activity on this forum, and the more active people we have like you and Paddy, perhaps the more encouraged others will be to start getting involved. Keep up the good work

So what exactly is KillaNet Techonolgy anyways? Just like a corporation which a bunch of different branches within it or somethin?
