The amount of detail in this wallpaper is staggering. I can't even begin to fathom the work it must have took. The background is amazing and the gu fits in there very nicely. Amazing job.

Fourth Wallpaper! Title: Wastelands .
I basically came up with the idea of doing this wallpaper by playing the good old Fallout 2, which inspired me to draw a sort of deserted, post-nuclear apocalyptic scenario :) . After that the ideas were beginning to be clear in my mind: I wanted to draw a place desolated, forgotten, where only a man is wandering, seeking for food, seeking for water, seeking for someone... or maybe just seeking for a place to die.
The painful part of this wallie is obviously the background, especially the destroyed buildings. To get that kind of thing I had to start from a stock photo of Miami's skyline that I found at stock-xchng, then I started erasing parts, redrawing shadows, recolouring the skyscrapers and so on, and after 3/4 hours I finally got that result :) .
Then it was the desert turn, but it was easier since I used an other piece of a stock photo which I cell-shaded to get a "toon" effect on it, and then I brushed some air and sand all over the dunes to give idea of the wind blowing from the right.
Last the sunset sky, it was the easiest part of the background, took me like half an hour. Then I started looking for a good character that would fit this background and I found this saladin guy from War of Genesis which is perfect :) .
Total time spent: about 7+ hours
Total layers: 30+
Enjoy!

x_x Unbelievable! I'm not a professional painter or drawer, nor can I go very far with my computing knowledge, but I must confess I totally agree with people that say you're talented, if this is only your 4th wall!!!! Wow!
