4 New Wallpapers

Hey guys. Been a while so here's a few fairly recent images.

Phenomenon was an initial test to try out a more refined method for creating nebulas. The anomaly was actually last minute, as was the phaser beam... cos I wanted a contrasting colour excuse.

"Lost Orbit" is an expanded idea on a previous piece.

Wanted to do something without the Federation for once on the third one. Just to note there is a credit missing, for the DS9 style Cardy station, this was created by: Joerg Gerlach. Had a corrupt .psd file so I wasn't able to edit it with his name.

The title of the last one refers to the Treaty of Algeron disallowing the Federation from acquiring or developing cloaking devices.

Wow!
I really love all of the colours you've used on all of them!
The detail in them really work well, it's not demanding enough to pull you around so you don't know what to look at, just the little subtle things! Really well done!

Thanks, how long do they take to make? They seem very complicated.

Haven't been back here in a while, thanks for your comments guys.
In regards to how long they take, Patrick is right in that it can vary heavily. Sometimes if I have a very clear sense of direction and the image isn't too complicated I can do it in about 2 hours give or take. Others I may change things along the way so I might go at it for a few days... usually don't have the patience for longer (move onto something else

).
robbie if you have Photoshop and initially at least quite a bit of patience, there's nout to stop you. Experimentation (and enjoying that process) is absolutely the key.

Here's a couple of newer ones

Oooh, I like the "Dare to Explore" one better. It seems to have a much stronger focus than "Futile". That and I like the colors better
