well i'm not really good at gfx so anyway, this my first start. sarah kuttner is a german tv star and i had a hard time finding any images of her. since i didn't find any wallpapers i thoughtto make one myself. i had to cutout a pic, smoothen the edges, little transform here and some colorediting there. the white background sucks but i don't know what to put there. come up with creative ideas.

Hot girl

sarah wub.gif nice work kiwi thumbs_up.gif

Background, you could add a radial gradient (with the lightest color behind sarah), then play around with the layer blending modes.
Maybe add a drop shadow or pick a brush with a leaf or butterfly and add a few to the backdrop.

Kerm

Mmmm... moldy, nothing says sexy like mold smile.gif
insanekiwi
added the background. now i need to decide whether the logo/text should be with ot without the white background. i also need to redo/edit her hair and parts of the shoulder/back.
forster
Coming along well, I think the text still works pretty well, but she could use some touching up... erm, her hair, graphically... ahem.
insanekiwi
so the text looks ok with the white pieces of the background? and yes, the hair is keeping me busy rofl.gif

update: hair almost done.

now what to do with the text?
insanekiwi
next update. added a slight background.
forster
Now that looks class smile.gif Although it is beginning to resemble a Linkin Park cover tongue.gif

rofl.gif
so i guess i shouldn't add the other 100% visible logo. keep it like it is atm? any improvments that need to be made?

No, another logo would be overkill.

I would perhaps shrink the logo in the background so that you can see her full name, but apart from that, very fappable smile.gif
Hidea
leave it at that! biggrin.gif that's great already! wink.gif
insanekiwi
ill reduce the logo a bit yo ucan see her full name. btw, viva just emailed me back and told me to submit my wallpaper for their official site.

edit: (final) preview

insanekiwi
i'm sorry it looks/turned out like a linkin park cd cover..anyway, i emailed it to the music channel yesterday...i wonder if i will get any feedback at all.

Nice wall thumbs_up.gif, any chance of doing one 1600x1200?

Also perhaps doing a couple with different coloured backgrounds (blueish, greenish etc) i.e. keeping the image the same and just tinting the background

will do 1600x1200. do you want slight colors or really strong colors for the background?
alex.
Nice one insanekiwi thumbs_up.gif

As for the colours, something like the opus colours would be good.
insanekiwi
i just need a place to host em. DA will remove them due copyright violation and i dont have a website where to put the pics.
also, do you want the gradient as in the opus pics?
Vignesh
Nice WP Insanekiwi.

Keep up the great work.
alex.
The gradient would be nice, I have some webspace I could host them on if you want.

Just send me a PM. smile.gif
v_magal

insanekiwi

@unabatedshagie: where can i getthose opus wallpapers? i need to look at em closer in order to complete your request biggrin.gif
alex.
I got them from the Codename: Opus 3.0 visual style download.
HoochieMamma
Mmmmm *saves pics into vast...vast.....VAST........vast stash*
insanekiwi

alex.
