Here's a thread to post links to Wallpaper's that you've created and get some feedback and constructive critisism. I know that there's alot of PS talent around here, and I thought that wallpapers would be fun to show off. I know that we already have a thread for avatars, so here it goes. I'll start it off...



Ron Weasley


I really like this one...


I sorta messed this one up while getting rid of some of the stuff I didn't want around the hair.


The text could probably stand out more...

Cedric Diggory


I was fooling with gradients...I think it turned out ok.

The DA


I like lighting effects, if you can't tell. This is just kinda wild. Wow. Thought I should post it still...

Hey weasleygirl93!! Those are pretty sweet!

I've made a bunch of wallpapers as well, but I have the link to my old website I made in high school for an HTML class (ohhh it hurts my eyes just looking at it!! ) cause I didn't want to take up the space with images on the post...

http://www.geocities.com/skeetersscroll/media.html

ooo weasleygirl93, I really like yours, I like the DA one the best! I really like all of yours too, MadamPenna.

I have made quiet a few backgrounds, but not all HP related lol so I will post the two that I have that are uploaded.....

Number One
haha that is on my myspace right now, I made it to Potter-ize my myspace for PotterCast haha. Not much I know but I made it really fast.

Number Two
This one was my desktop for awhile, thats why there is nothing at the bottom, I didnt bother because thats where the taskbar is lol.

Very nice, hpmuggle152! I really like your JKR one, very classy.

That Rowlig one is very cool!

thank you both very much . glad that you guys liked it.

I found some more of my wallpapers! here, I'll put the links down:

Harry & Ginny 1
Harry & Ginny 2
Ron & Hermione
The Owlery
The Pensieve
Lord Voldemort

they all tell me that there is no image to display

It's a link to the website that uploaded them. I submitted them to Veritaserum a few years ago. The links work for me. If it doesn't work, you can always go to http://www.veritaserum.com and check out their wallpapers (there are about a million!!) and go to search and type in "Addie" but make sure you click "owner's name." It's the long route but it'll still get you there!!!

yeah the links too me to Veritaserum but the page said "No Image to Display" I went and searched like you said too, clicking on Owners Name and the same thing happened. I will have to try later.

I searched as you said, and it still says that there is no image to display. Did they get deleted?

Oh poo, I was literally just there! That's how I got the links. hmm... ok, this is what I'll do:

The Pensieve
The Owlery
Harry & Ginny
Lord Voldemort
Everything Will Change

There, those should work!!

Wow, I like all of those. Nice work.




I made this one this morning...It's Hockey, yes I know, but I really am not in any sort of Potter mood considering I have really, really, REALLY good tix for the game tonight....I like this style though. I think I might do some Potter ones like it in the future.

also...just one quick thing...What's the best file to save your images as? I've been saving them as JPEGs after I save them as PSDs and they loose some qualilty in the process.

I always save my PSD files as PSD files because you can keep the original and fix things if you have to later. But when you save them as JPGs, save it as a slightly different name. for instance, I save my wallpapers like this: filename.psd as the PSD file, filename800.jpg for the JPG file that's 800x600, and filename1024.jpg for the JPG file that's 1024x768. That way, you can keep em straight and you don't loose information!

They finally worked! lol I really like all of those.

weasleygirl93, I like your hockey one! (be better if it was Red Wings.... ) haha

ETA

I know weasleygirl93 has already seen this but I figured I would post it as well here

Oh wow! Holy Red Wings... it'd be better if it was a Penguin Poster.

Haha - well done!

haha nope! Much better the way it is

Happy New Year....
Presenting Captain Liddy.


I thought the background pick was kinda cool looking, and the foreground one is from Lidstrom's drw.com wallpaper, cuz yahoo sports really doesn't have many big Wings pics. (I find that Yahoos are among the crispest images and they resize nicely.)

haha that is awesome!! ahh I love his eyes! *sigh*

I could have sworn there was a request for a Stars wallpaper here...but I don't see the post now...???

Oh well...Mike Modano...Welcome to the 500 Club

Here's a Buffy wallpaper I made. It's simple, but I like it. It's from the episode "Hush," those are Giles' hands.



Here'e the link to the full size.

harry and cho

These aren't (for the majority) HP related, but they're some pictures I've taken that might make nice wallpapers. Except for the last one, which is a drawing by Marta of everyone in the Harry Potter universe and makes an amazing background. I have the key to the picture somewhere on my computer if people want it.

Here are a few wallpapers I have made of photomontages for the Gallery forums:

I just started trying my hand at wallpapers. Here are a few of mine. Click to enlarge them.

This is one I made with paint shop tube I bought from a tube site. I just colored her wings. If you use Poser or Daz, you can make these tubes yourself. I don't have the software, but there's a nice lady online who makes and sales them.

HP Wallpapers

All the posters before me did a wonderful job on their wallpapers.

Why...Greta Garbo of course!

I made this one a few weeks ago using Photoshop.

Mine is a simple vista background, it came with the computer but it is very beautiful,

Mangorian, thats an awesome wallpaper, but next times you use photobucket make sure you click the box to hide the demensions at the bottom

Oh I dunno; I always find having the exact dimensions kind of useful, don't you? Well, to each his own.

Thanks for the compliment!

I made this one today! I'm usually rubbish at wallpapers (they're just so darn BIG) but I think this one turned out quite nice

Oh wow! That's a really nice one right there. I like the way you used the text.
Personally, I find bigger better.

I was just using paint.net, and the default canvas size is 800x600. So, I came up with my first wallpaper, it's not that good...

Sunset

Its actually not bad, especially for your first one. If you play around with it more, you'll only get better and better, and with the way this one turned out, you've got a heck of a lot of potential.

Here's a picture that I took and am now using as a background. Click on the image for a larger version.

Great job on the wallpapers, everyone.

I'll bite since I'm bored at work today in spite of multiple things I need to get finished.

Some are HP related, others aren't.

I found a bunch on the warnerbros.co.uk site that are about Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. You can download them here.

http://harrypotter.warnerbros.co.uk/site/index.html

You will most likely have to click on "Downloads" and then "Wallpapers". There are also Buddy Icons, Screen Savers, and other images. There is also a photo gallary.

Wow. That's some brilliant photography! May I ask what that's a picture of?

That has a very interesting asymmetry to it, with the top-right part of the tower and the sun not having a matching aspect on the right, and yet the bottom of the picture is symmetrical. I like the choice of black-and-white as opposed to full-color, too.

I got a new set. These were fairly easy as they were just the GOF promo pics that already had a white background. However, for not taking much time, I found the simplicity and cleanliness pretty cool.

Well right now I'm using this one:

It's really simple, and I suppose a bit artsyfartsy. But I like it.

hi this is my wallpaper. just thought that others who are obsessed with HP might have the same. if so post a pic or decribe. this should be fun for those eloquent with words and junk like that.

i don't have that exact one but i have one very similar. it's not quite a wallpaper but it's an icon collage. it has all the different guys from the movies all over and its a crack up! i have another one and it's an icon collage also. its got pics of the weasley twins and its quite hillarious! if u go on to my profile and click that little icon that says myspace.com/slinky_pink it will take you to my myspace and u can see both the icon collages...its pretty freakin cool!

On mu computer at work I have a OotP movie poster with the Trio, Neville, Ginny, Luna and Cho and on my home computer I have all of the DA.

That is awesome wallpaper, moony13!

Mine is this: http://gallery.the-leaky-cauldron.org/picture/166308

I must be the only member without a Harry Potter wallpaper. It's just a purple background (with slight gradient) for me at the moment

My wallpaper has been the same since I got my computer 4 years ago: It's The Legend of Zelda: the Windwaker wallpaper. It's of Link sitting with some pigs. I loved that game and I just bought Phantom Hourglass for my DS today. Okay, I've changed my wallpaper a few times but it's been a LoZ wallpaper the longest.

Well, it's a harry potter drawing, of course!!! It changes sometimes, but I've had this one for about a month and a half because I fell in love with the drawing and it's the right size so doesn't look stretched out--

Oh, jaimedanser, that's one of my absolute favorites! Mudblood428 is my personal favorite fan artist. She's amazing.

I currently have a gorgeous picture of the North Sea from a hill on the island of Lindisfarne...I took it last summer. It's so calming and peaceful.

For most of the summer, my wallpaper was a picture of the Dumbledore's Army characters (you know, the trio, Ginny, Neville, etc.) from the OotP movie. It looked great on my widescreen laptop.
