Hey guys, sorry this wall is a day later than planned. Since I have a job again it kinda slows down my wallpaper process some, but I’m still adjusting. This week I chose a concept art location art piece. This one is on the Dune Thresher lore page. If you read the lore story about this creature it was around a place called the Tardein Wastes. There was also this concept art in the story. Since no one else has posted about it I thought I’d bring it to light for people.

The other location art that looked like a giant whirlpool looking rock formation I still don’t know what that is used for yet. I guess we’ll find out sometime. Also if you noticed I managed to recover the old bars and add some metal work to them. This metal work I tried to freehand so many types of framework that could continue off the nameplate and add to it. None worked so I used parts from the official d3 logo .tiff file and used some of the fancy metal work from the bottom side. I took away the sun looking design and tweaked the size to match the nameplate. I tried to make this metal work red, but it was way to distracting, and this was the best way to go.

Also I decided to play around with the metal work that I had from scratch while making the metalwork. I created a neat design that centered on the sun design I cut out. So I decided to add it as the centerpiece to the top bar for the design. I think it all turned out well. I’ve wanted to do this metalwork tweak before my hard drive failure. I hope you all like this as I tried to remake my lost locations wallpaper design and added to it and improved some areas I saw that were messed up in the older designs.

With that I will see you all next time around. Have a good Easter coming up if you celebrate it.

Good morning, I hope everyone had a good easter. This week I chose to do another Locations wallpaper. This time it was of a region called Aranoch. SCFreelancer posted this concept art here and titled it Aranoch. I did a little research and found out it was a region in the world of Sanctuary by Lut Gholein. Also there was a good chance this art was for that region.

This time I tried to give my Fiery Runes a more golden look for this wallpaper. They look rather well. Sadly they look best as the 2560 size. The original golden effect from the larger sizes seemed to lose some of the effect I used for the larger size. I'm unable to fix this so please forgive me if they look rather so-so.

Though to be honest I think the runes look better this way without the blurred runes over top of the main runes. I also tried to do some edging graphics for the world map, and take away the highlights for Caldeum and Lut Gholein, and brighten up the spot for Aranoch. Thought it was a neat touch. Also the way the map looks from my view point as the size 1920 is where it looks the best.

Let me know what you guys think. Also this next week I'm taking a break from my fiery runes series and making some D3 series wallpapers. I need to rebuild it's nameplate that I lost on the hard drive failure, and the same with my iPhone nameplate.

See you all next week!

Looks great, I really like this one cuz it's a change from the orange/red walls.

yeah i love the runes more and more i look at that wall, so im planning to keep them for future Locations wallpapers

i'd want some dual screens too

ah give me time ill make a special one soon enough, problem is with Diii.net depending on the sizes i may have to make two seperate walls i dunno, you let me know what size monitors ya'll use and that may help me some!

I'm running 2x 1024x768 monitors but will hopefully upgrade to a widescreen or 2 in a year or so...

Not sure what widescreen aspect ratio is supported/best for games though.

Worst case scenario is the user has to resize/use the "stretch" mode which will fit to screen...you can always host the wall here

Hello everyone. I hope you had a good weekend. This week my plan was to restore and remake lost nameplates and files for my Diablo 3 wallpaper series and FRS iPhone series. These have been successful, and I have made and improved on the nameplates these two series already had.

This week however I chose to break away from my old Corel Photo Paint 8 and try out some more aspects of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. All I can say is the d3 wallpaper nameplate, the side designs to that nameplate I reproduced the same bevel and shade effect I did on CPT8 which I had to build from scratch and spray some colors around. I did the bevel effect after 3 crashes of the program from my annoying computer, with the same look and feel in like one tenth the work needed if we ignore the program crashes.

Now with that I decided to use my new tweak of the alchemy in the background. With Photoshop I was able to make it 10x larger with about one hundredth less of the jagged-ness. I was stunned to find the style bevel effect I used made that slightly blurry image a new larger sharper and better alchemy. I think I see somewhat how the blizzard art guys made that alchemy so sharp. After all the Greek/Geek talk I have got everything back and better than before. So expect some more of my works to have some Photoshop elements in them more. Maybe one day I can retire Corel Photo-Paint 8....... nah.

Hope this wall looks simple and clean. I may tweak the alchemy on the next wallpaper as I am experimenting with CS3. The next couple weeks I will be posting some of the d3 wallpaper series walls. I am slowly running out of content to use... please blizz give us some more info besides that awesome UI update.

I...need...material...

Also for those who like my iPhone series this is just for you guys: FRSiP 05

See ya next week!
