The BMP

for future info.. please don't post images on the forum that are over 25k.

it looks pretty cool..

Snore

Wow.......that is bright!

I actually had to squint to see it.

looks cool, was this made in Photoshop? Think you could give a quick tutorial on somethin like this? (/me not good at figurin stuff out)

I don't know how that would work as a background though, it may be a little bright depending on whats gonna be in front.

It wasn't all that hard actually. It was a tutorial I did and I just used some distort filters to see what other affects I could get with it and it turned out really nice.

The tutorial is at Striding Studio and is called Zoom Glow. It really isn't art I know because it was a tutorial.

I also played with the hue/saturation and the contrast of the image after I distorted it.

Oh and sorry about the image size... I didn't know that waiting 2 more seconds for the 35 Kb on a 56 or 3 seconds on a 33.6 would be such a big deal.

that is not really the problem dude it is the ethics of it all. If everyone did it then it would be a prob.
Rulz are rulz.

i like it, the shape is cool! But i think that i wouldn't make a good background, it's too bright.

And about those image-sizes, you have to draw the line somewhere. So 25k is the line here.
