I noticed a lot of young artists devoted to wallpaper making and releasing nice looking and neat pieces too. Then I realized something wrong with them. They have no identity at all, they all look the same. They might be visually impressive but that's all they've got. I finally remembered what made my productions unique: my personal style, my personal vision of the thing and my desire to give them a true identity that you never find elsewhere. I consider myself this point very important as I'm neither a professional nor a Photoshop master or crack (nor a skilled desiger or artist!). So, that Blaze the cat really has nothing spceial? Especially no chest? In addition, she looks cold? Well, it seems to be what gave me interest to that character. Artwork you see here actually comes from a Sonic 2006 (or Next-Gen) cutscene* featuring her and Silver. I grabbed some frames and made a wallpaper around them. I also thought that monochrome look would make it even cooler (yes, that good old "monochrome trick" that shrinks the PNGs because we can converted them to 256-color this way). Then I found how to symbolize Blaze's coldness (to me): that snowflake (others symbols being there to fill more or less) and the use of the Univers typeface. It's the first time I use that face into a wallpaper. Its monotony and rigourous design fits really well to Blaze's nature. Then came the cool slogan I needed to fit perfectly to all this. Yes, "flatattitude" is a bad joke of mine, a really lame and dodgy slogan but hey. It add some charm to the wallpaper. I hope you'll find that charm into it, too. Also available in the following resolutions: 1600x1200 1280x1024 Watch out! As these are 256-color images, you'll need to convert them back to truecolor if your desktop resolution doesn't match any of the ones I'm offering here. - 11th January 2007 - * credits go to Xose (from soniconthe.net) for ripping all Sonic 2006 CG movies |
