Just a thought, be very careful when you deal with start-up or companies that want to pay you on the backside of their business. 99% of the time you will not see anything down the road. If you look at the job as a starting point or way to put together a show peice, your design with their content then it is worth it. But from the little you said it sounds a little off. As for doing a database site, definetly lok at charging customers for it, the last time I looked the going rate for a full blown

Reply to Downloading the name. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

the other thing to notice is that a lot of the high download walls are accessories to skin suites for different apps. It seems the walls that get the highest downloads get them so people can match the wall with their skinned apps. Those of use that make only walls without a theme get less notice at times. But that is normal. I notice that when valhala makes a nextstart skin with one of my walls as the background it suddenly gets a ton of downloads...ironic isn't it

Reply to What's special bout Bryce? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

You know it is interesting, when metacreations still owned bryce they offered a trial version of the app. Leave it to corel to eliminate the trial. Not to downgrade them, I was just shocked they did not offer one. As for the benefits of bryce, it is a very easy to use app, with a lot of capabilities if you can get away from the cut and paste cooky cutter landscapes. With some time and an odd view of reality you can create some great things, but it is very limited. Bryce has a limited ability to

Ok for those that may not know there seems to be a slight problem here: http://www.neowallpapers.com/pages/design_us.php?start=0&nbl=4&order=id&max=138 This site seems to be displaying and distibuting many peoples walls without any credit or permission from the artists. At least I found several of my works on there without ever being asked if they could display them. At the same time they give not credit to who created them. Has anyone tried to contact them and actuall

Reply to Art in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

One other thing to remember, just like bryce, many of the programs have so much more potential then they advertise, Bryce for example is great for landscapes and chrome spheres in a 5 minute image, but that is not even scratching the surface of its potential. take some time and play around with the program, beyond the included planes, objects or etc. Or if you want to work with the primitives there are some excellent things you can create with them when used as building blocks. Do not be fooled

thank you Aleatoric art is not limited byt the medium, final use of the work, or the placement of the peice. Art is the creative process whether it is dance, music, painting, sculpture, building, steel, wood, or digital. It is the expression and creativity of the artist, they emotions, vision, and the byproduct of creativity. Art is not limited to one medium, placement, or if it can hang on a wall. A high detailed painting on the hood of a high performace car can be considered art, depe

and wallpapers by many artists are ment to bring beauty, expression, and art to the screen. just because the person that downloads it only uses it as decoration does not mean it is not art. Some are created as an expression of the person, a visual representation of their thoughts, idea, or concept. No different from what a painter does with a brush, what a sculpter does with a chisel, or etc.

I am amazed at the limited view of what art is. The fact that some feel art is only something that hangs on a wall is astounding. It totally elimanets the vast majority of the art world. In the musical world there are peices of music that are considered artistic masterpeices, sculptures are free standing artistic expressions, just as a painting is. A pure visual multi media presentation can be art, art is not limited by the medium or placement of the peice. To say that art is only what is on a w

Reply to To what extent is this site an exposition of artwork? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

ok so you classification of art is limited to only the medium that it is on. A Monet that is painted directly onto a chair is only a chair, but if Monet then took the fabric off the chair and put it on a frame and it was placed hanging on a wall it would only then be art? Wallpaper is just a medium that some artists use as their canvas. It is no different than a painter that uses canvas, stone, brick, paper, or etc. It is the medium of choice of some. If the same work was released as a

Reply to To what extent is this site an exposition of artwork? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Jafo, actually I do take an offense to that statement that walls are predictable, narrow-minded interpretation of the concept of 'art'..... Yes some walls are just cut and paste, with a filter thrown on top. But many peices that are created and released by the artists have more thought, heart, and soul put into them, than many peices that hang in a museum. As for structures, many structures are works of art, but many others are simply boxes with holes cut into them for windows. <br

Reply to To what extent is this site an exposition of artwork? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Maybe since i am mostly a wall creator my view is different, but I think that the majority of the high quality walls, skins, and themes are definetly an art form. They are the expression of the desire of vision the creator has in mind for a specific look. Yes it has a function, but at the same time it is based around the look or enhanced look of an application. For example a structural wall has a specific function but once someone paints tag on it, some consider it art. And some of the street pa
