Now be warned, these are about double the file size as the last set. Not really sure why, since darker colors usually mean smaller file sizes for me. But I had to save them at full quality to avoid all the ugly compression, and I'm totally not even being nitpicky here! So they range in size from about 500-300kb each. But you know, they're wallpapers, so quality is kind of important.
I guess this is also kind of a teaser for the New Year's update, since you haven't read it yet ;)

Happy wallpapering! :)
Aw, this one is lovely too! Thanks for sharing these. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks really nice but may I ask where you got the font from...or what is it called?
ReplyDeleteThanks Carla! :)
ReplyDeleteRome, it's called "Last Words" and it's here. It's kind of hard to read most of the time though, so I usually put a contrasting drop shadow behind it.
Oh, and Carla, I tweeted it earlier, but with this one I tried something different to make the image so large. I took the center image first, and then panned the camera left and right to get the side shots, and up to get a sky shot, and spliced them all together. That sky took me forever to do, lol!
ReplyDeleteI love these backgrounds! As soon as I saw this one, I set it as my desktop. It's amazing how much emotion and story you fit into one single photo and sentence.
ReplyDeleteKatherine, thank you! I used to LOVE doing these kind of things - picture/poetry combos, long before I'd ever played Sims or started writing Sim-illustrated stories. I guess it's only natural that I would gravitate toward Sim-storytelling eventually. I just love the format - true, there's so much to be said with a few words and a thoughtfully constructed image.
ReplyDeleteI'll post some of my other older picture/poems this weekend, when I finish the other two planned wallpapers.
Oh, cool, thanks, Laura! You might have tweeted that after I'd gone to bed. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great!
I've been haunting your blog so yeah - looking forward to the next update :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous desktop (which is currently residing on mine :) )
Thank you Kiri! :)
