Gear brushes used in my pictures are from several people. Unfortunately, I've lost the credit file of who all of those people are.
However, one has found me!

Title: Steampunk GraffitiDescription: Brad says “Latest graffiti design using Steampunk style.” This is a pretty cool reimagining of the steampunk style. It’s got a lot of steampunk elements, but is very different from a purely Victorian or classical feel. This is the more subversive side of steampunk. Thanks, Brad!Type: Widescreen, 1920×1080Credits:http://www.graffititechnica.com/Graffiti_steampunk.htmlLicense: Brad says “My whole take on the […]

Title: Judith and HolofernesDescription: I stumbled on Aly Fell’s work on CGPortfolio.com the other day, and was blown away by his paintings. The way he does faces, in particular, is amazing. I like his version of Harley Quinn, too, (though she’s not steampunkery,) and OMG Gomez! He was kind enough to let me feature him here. Go see more of […]

Title: Interfacing 1Description: I always end up arranging my icons into little groups, and have been making ‘labeled’ icon box wallpapers for a while. Here’s one that’s non-labeled… and widescreen!

Title: Steamglass WindowDescription: This… is not the wallpaper I started out to make. I had dreams, you see, dreams of empty cathedral windows, brimming with steam, colors projected upon it’s vaporous goodness. Steamglass windows, the perfect adornment for a factory cathedral. But no, it was not meant to be. My brain, my mouse wandered. I […]
