Description
This is a wallpaper im working on, I do intend on releasing a wallpaper size but there are some quality issues i have resolve on the buddha's edges before I submit it at a larger size.I took this picture myself at Lan tau island (Hong Kong), its a Bronze Buddha that was built in the Tang Dynasty (618 A.D. to 907 A.D.) see here for other shots: [link]
Not sure about the swirly detail but I really wanted to include it. It's based on a sketch I did: [link]

Gorgeous.
I love the minimalism.
Just a quick note about the date however:
This was built in 1993, not the Tang Dynasty.

Hey this looks amazing..
Here's a request - when you're doing the wallpaper, can you make a version where the Buddha's on the right too? Cuz i have my taskbar on the left..
Thnxx if you do indeed consider this.

This is beautiful. The vectors and text go very well with the picture. Great job.

It's a great picture (& I think I'll use it as my desktop) but there's just one thing --
you've typoed "Tranquility" (it says Tranqulity)
eh, a little clone stamp fixes that right up, but still. I dunno if anyone pointed this out yet. Not in the first three pages of comments.

makes a great wallpaper, very inspiring as well 0_o
I don't know what the swirly bits are supposed to represent, but to me it looks like vectorised smoke n_n, which is fantastic.

Lol, I immediately recognised this the moment I saw it in someone's favourites. Ah, I remember going to Lantau on a regular basis, being Buhddist and all. It's a very good photograph though.

I don't know if it's been mentioned, but you've spelt "Tranquility" as "Tranqulity" in the image. But other than that, I love it. The photo, the typo and the swirly details are really impressive.

very good balance and colors here.

nah i really like the swirl design. the budah seems to be leaning to hte left tho...
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
glorious!
if you would move the text, and what not, up and fitted into the upper-righthand corner - well you'd have a 8 out of 10.
a slightly more saturated sky would score you a 9.
a frame would, of course finish off this grand piece.
a fantastic look indeed.

i like the swirly. not sure if it suits the photo, though...
how did you produce the white swirly? (what tool in what program?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks,
I made the swirly bit in Adobe illustrator cs2 using the pen tool to trace a scan of my sketch. I then exported it to photoshop as a smart layer.

hmm...great job. i find it difficult to make very thin lines in photoshop...i dunno if it's any different for illustrator...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've never mangaged to make any vectors using the pen tool in photoshop it totaly confuses me :S Its much simpler for me to draw it in illustrator, then copy and paste it into PS as a smart layer

super, i think the illustration really suits it, love the style, so free, great ...
not so sure about the big boxes on the left though, think they might be a bit overpowering, less tranquil i suppose..?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks,
Looking at it now I deffinately think your right about the boxes, i'll minimize or remove them in the final image. thanks
