I've had to do some stuff with Photoshop at work lately, so I started playing around with some compositing and filters. Given that it's pretty pointless on playing with technique without actually trying to do something constructive, I decided to make a simple wallpaper calendar.

Here's the result:

Yeah, I know it's pretty simple. And if anyone notices, it has a significant influence from a particular R/C website. But hey, I like the way they do their calendars. :) So enjoy!


Here's hi-res versions:
1024x768 version
1280x1024 version
1600x1200 version

I just downloaded the 1600x1200 version. I then loaded it as my desktop background. It looks beautiful!

Thank you very much.

Did the same thing looks great thanks for the wallpaper, looking forward to May. :rolleyes:
 
Fury Thanks. First you get me a tidy refund back from the Acura dealer. (O2 sensors) Then you give me this awesome Picture for my background. If I am ever in your area I am buying lunch.

Thanks for the heads up on the O2 sensor issue.

looks great Fury... except the angle of the photo means we can't see the teddy-bear rims. :D

you should have a non-calander version so we can use it after april too.

BTW... *LOVE* the ultra-hi-res versions! thank you infinitely!
 
Sweet! Can we send your pics of our cars so we can have a POTM calendar going? :D (See what happens when you try do something nice ;) )

Haha! Took the words right out of my mouth!
Mad rush now to get our pics into Fury so we can be a calender month!

Fury - dibs on May, my birthday month! :cool:
 
Thanks for the comments, guys.

If you can think of things that may help in the future (i.e. marking holidays, hilighting Sundays/weekends, making the calendar part smaller/bigger, image is too dark, designating safezones for icons and toolbars, etc.), just let me know.

I might start doing this. It wouldn't be too difficult. But, composition for the image might start to look strange with a blank area where the calendar used to be. I'll check in to this.

I wouldn't mind doing that. I could actually use more pics of NSXs. I'm sure people here would get tired of seeing the same old black NSX. :p The higher the resolution, the better. NSX images that work best are ones where very little of the surrounding environment is reflected on the car.

I can't guarantee that I'll use each submitted image, and I'll do my best to fulfill any particular month requests.
 
On my desktop(s) now. Very nice, and much appreciated.
 
Thank you so much!!
That is one amazing wall paper. Are you planning to create one for each month?
 
Yeah, this sounds like a really funky idea... perhaps the photos that don't make it to POTM could be also explored.


See what a server upgrade can do? All these fresh ideas!!! :D
 
Wow that looks great!!

If you are willing to do it every month, I'll definiately set up a section of the website for them (like the POTM section) and feature each one on the main page of the site every month.

As a side note, you can also get to the site now by just going to nsxprime.com (I set up the DNS correctly while moving things around this weekend).
 
How much would you charge to create our own custom one....
I would like to get you a bunch of hi-res. pics of my car, and have you create me a NICE wallpaper like the great job you did with that one. I would like my full name on it as well, and my company's logo.
Can you do something like that?... maybe in like 2 weeks from now?
WOuld you charge?...

Thanks
P.S. love the job you did with this one:)

Lud,

It's not a problem. I'll find time to make them. Would you prefer me to just email them directly to you, or post them again in the Pictures Gallery when I'm done?

Okay, I can switch it over to only "NSXPrime.com". That might look better too. :)

dmitriy_2by2,

I tend to avoid doing anything on the side on a contract/freelance basis. I often find that I run out of extra time, so I'd hate to commit to a paying customer and not be able to devote my full time to a project. Doing it for fun (like for this site) keeps me feeling like I'm doing this as a hobby, and as such, I don't end up losing interest. :p

But then again, how much would you pay? :D Hahahaha, J/K!!

That's some awesome, classy work! I wish I could have skill like this. If you must ask future suggestions, I have to say please no cheesy, sleazy half naked creatures who belong to the inferior cars! :D
