This one though is great, I love the water fading off into the distance.

Very Nice

[HipHopaholic]

Awesome, thanks for sharing

[Liger]

nice (Y)

[amitsaraf32]

Thanks to everyone for the comments and criticism :) You guys rock !!

@D3ft0ne3 : Just let me know where you want the bucket and spade and I'll be more than happy to do a mod ;)

@Liger : The perfect curves are the result of working in Illustrator. No Photoshopping involved here. The Pen tool in Photoshop has absolutely nothing on Illustrator :)

Reminds me of better_than_bliss. If you vould please remove the sand castle and spades, it would be my new wallpaper. Excellent work!

[Soli7aire]

This is very nice. Very "summer-y". I second the request of the removal of the sand castle, also. Good job.

[y0sh]

This one is a lot better man!

[Liger]

so is making a vector like this hard?

[amitsaraf32]

Thanks for the appreciation, guys !

@Liger :

Doing a pure vector in Illustrator is not that easy. Doing a Photoshop semi-vector is much easier. In Illustrator, it's a matter of getting the curves, gradients and blends perfect and pleasing to the eye. Also, most ppl do a smaller vector which they later slap onto a larger background. This kind is easier to do since it probably won't be resized to such a large size that the details would look fugly.

To create a wallpaper sized vector is a balance between filling the canvas with something and making it pleasing at the same time. For example, if you were to resize this to a 1900 X 1200, I think it would still look just as good - which incidentally, you can't do with a Photshop vector :)

Update :

Now working on a version without the castle, spade and bucket since so many of you have requested it.

Should be out later today :) Have a nice weekend, everyone !!
