Interesting. It's realistic, and yet abstract. You're so artistic!! I really like the BG, but I don't know so much about the guitars... They seem a bit out of place...
Artist Comment
a very strange wall i made here. it started off with me originally finding pic of the girl on 4chan. i went about
vectoring it in a very complex manner but in the final product you see here, she has been shrunk down so small that my
vectoring work seems to have gone to waste. hopefully people can still recognize the amount of work that went into this
vector sense its probably one of the most tedious i have ever done.
anyways, after i finished vectoring, which took about a week, i started experimenting heavily with bg ideas. i literally
spent a whole weekend cycling through ideas and fiddling around with just about anything that i could think up.
actually, i had about 4 different saved psds for this one wall sense i had gone through so many different ideas for a
wall. in the end, it kinda came together in this sort of surreal montage i have here. i took bits from my experiments
and ideas and spent about three days putting it together and overall adding the finishing touches.
what i ended up with, is the wall submitted. its strange cause when i went about making this wall i hadnt planned to
make it mean anything, but somehow subconciously i put in something in it that was happening in my life.
to start off with, i was completely planning to do film as a career up until recently. sense early highschool i always
had a love for cinema and thought going into a career in the actual production of movies was the way to go. recently
though, i have discovered that making films is not something that i can imagine doing for the rest of my life. i was
always pretty sure that i was gonna do art as a career but it seems that film was a bad choice. i tihnk i mistaked my
love for watching movies over making them myself. anyways, getting to the point, i recently started taking kung fu and
had a desire to explore other arts to do as a career. kung fu for one is the first time in a long time that i really
enjoyed doing something. the other side to this is also that i recently had a desire to explore the art of music
making. so right now, im pretty devoted to step away from film production and move onto something else. for now, i
decided to take some music classes next quarter to follow up on an intro to music class i took this quarter to explore
the field more.
so anyways, the big question is how in the heck does this relate to this wall? well after i finished making it i saw
symbols that subconciously made it into the picture that sort of represented my situation. the train that i put passing
by seems to convey that i need to change/move on to something else and the three guitars shown can depict that i need to
make a choice once again. theres also some other aspects of the wall that are along these lines but i dont tihnk ill go
into it for sake that ive already wrote way too much for any of you to read.
lastly, the title "high hopes" kind of reflects how i felt about this and is taken from the pink floyd
song.
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist growing
The water flowing
The endless river
Forever and ever....
and damn, i seriously wrote way too much......

Whoaaa! This wallpaper is definitely worthy of being on the front page. It's my desktop background as we speak. Amazing job there, crapmonster. I don't think the wallpaper is weird, I think it's great. Also, I love the fact that the wallpaper is 1600x1200. :)

The overall Textures in this one Just rock sooo much !!
It has this overall messy feel giving me a minor gripe about the buildings in the BG
While it's cool that you have kept them sharp imho the lines are very hard almost too clean.a
aan now the fun bit ..T's wannabe psycho babble :P
So the stairs in there reflect the "struggle" in your way up.
the Subway.... means you are fond of the Teriyaki 12" BLT with onion sause.
and the overall KickASS factor reflects the Kung Fu .. mmmmz been doing the open claw style for a while .. .. what's yours ?

Whitout doubt one of your best works. The vector is very, very impressive and I like the idea with the grafitti on the train a lot. For the most part the overlayed texture makes the wallpaper look more "realistic" but there are some places where it has the opposite effect (left part of the pillar and the lower left part of the stairs for example). The surreal concept is very cool and the colours are also very fitting. Fav.

damn this is one hella good looking wall, i'm currently busy with a vector wallpaper myself. It's hard to make details in a sertain picture. Anyway about your work, it's so cool, really it has a sertain style, and the character does kinda fit with the background. A darkish style, but ok to make this long story short.. i like the wallpaper and it looks really good.
