Hello there.:wave: I'm an aspiring digital graphic artist; currently focusing heavily on wallpaper design. I try to be varied with my techniques and art styles, so hopefully everybody can find something they like in my gallery. :)

If you enjoy my work, please share it with your friends! I post it all on Tumblr, so any likes or re-blogs are always appreciated! :D

Big thanks to all the vector artists who allow me to use their pony vectors!

Wallpaper usage

You may use any of my wallpapers for non-commercial purposes, including song art, fanfiction covers, banners, icons, derivative artwork, etc. Please give proper credit, with a link back to the original wallpaper. Full usage terms here.

I also ask that you send me a note or leave a comment letting me know where you used it. I really enjoy seeing how my work is used, and would prefer to keep track of it.

A note about my software

I use paint.NET, but I have dozens of plugins that don't normally come with it. Most of them can be found here and downloaded for free on the official plugins publishing forum.

Find me on other sites

:bulletorange: SoundCloud
:bulletblue: Bandcamp

Interests
Some of my older followers may remember that I released an EP for $1 nearly a year ago on Bandcamp.

Unfortunately nobody has ever bought it...

So I decided to make it free. Now you can all enjoy my repetitive, poorly mastered amateur techno! :D

Download it here!

It's name your price, so just enter 0$ for a free download, unless of course you would like to donate extra ;) (Wink)

Hey Game-Beat, Congrats on moving into a life outside of high school - I'm in the same place right now.

Before I make my next wallpaper, can you tell me how you make your shapes in the background of your wallpapers please? I want to experiment with a similar style.

Your advice is much appreciated!
Thanks, and keep it up!

That's a very vague question, but I'll explain what I can...

I use a combination of random shape generators and distortion tools, all the plugins I have are in the "pinned" posts here [link]

For example, I used the "Kaleidescope" tool to make the shapes behind Applejack in this wallpaper [link], then applied glows and other effects.

For textures, bars, etc, sometimes I'll generate a shape, and then copy it and distort it again to make something new. For example, the rainbow bar in this wallpaper [link] is actually a copy of the Rainbow Dash vector, distorted with the "Oblique" tool.

Simply put, you just have to experiment for yourself, start combining tools together and think outside the box.

I hope this helps a bit, it's just really hard to explain everything without making a video...

Thanks a lot!

You have some really interesting techniques. I'll mess around with all of this and see where it gets me.

And sorry for asking such a big question - I was surprised you responded so well to it though.

Thanks again, I'll let you know when I'm done with my next project!
