Lost 1,410 November 2, 2012 Share November 2, 2012 Opened up Photoshop today for the first time in 4 years, messed around for a bit and decided that i wanted to make a MLP background for my computer that was not too obviously MLP (my monitor can be seen by anyone in the house as i use it in the dining room) i figured i should do a cutie mark one, then decided on spitfire as i named my computer after her. Here is what i ended up making: I like to smudge, you may have guessed By no means do i consider this to be that good, but i was bored of my old background, so this'll do for now. Anyway, thoughts? How could i improve this? 9 Your friendly neighborhood alcoholic motorcyclist Life is too short to worry what others think of you, be creative, be weird, live life.

Gone Airbourne 21,977 November 2, 2012 Share November 2, 2012 I love the desktop background a lot I really do. There is just no end in what you can do in PS. I would say add some fiery type coloring to Spitfire text. The lightning bolt with the smugness looks like the bolt is smoking which is nice. Idk there could be some things that you could add to it maybe some shades here and there maybe? Overall I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbow Skywalker 642 November 2, 2012 Share November 2, 2012 I love it personally. Just like most of your artwork. It's a nice background and the smudges and the text really fit together well with the overall essence of spitfire: lots of fire and fury. I do feel as though the left side is a bit empty though, maybe a barely visible Spitfire head could be put in the background of that left side. I'd give about 25% transparency or so. Other than that its a perfect background. Again, another perfect work of art by Lost. Signature by Azura みぞれ 恋人 (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks ^^ I was considering adding extra to the left hand side as I felt it was somewhat lacking, but it would end up being covered by my icons, you can see my desktop here: http://mlpforums.com/topic/127-post-your-desktop/page__st__1340 Your friendly neighborhood alcoholic motorcyclist Life is too short to worry what others think of you, be creative, be weird, live life.

Lightning Fluttershy 1,844 November 2, 2012 Share November 2, 2012 Love it! I like the simplicity of the design and yet you maintain the energy carried by Spitfire. On a side not Spitfire is second best pony. I also like the font and design you used for the text. It compliments her cutie mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castoro Chiaro 181 November 2, 2012 Share November 2, 2012 Dude this is totally sweet. Love the textures and the effects you used on her cutie mark. I'd totally use this as a background if I wasn't so enamored of the one I have now. -- I'm also of the opinion that deliberate lies and innuendos should never be allowed to go unopposed. At what point does tolerating the intolerable make you part of the problem? - John DeLancie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix3M 607 November 3, 2012 Share November 3, 2012 Here's an idea... instead of using that gradient in the background... you create the same thing but with the same effect used around the lightning symbol? My deviantArt page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
°Grägi° 3 November 3, 2012 Share November 3, 2012 I'm gonna say 9/10. This background is amazing! I have not seen one Spitfire background like yours. I may use this for the next 50 years. :> Only the dead can know real peace... FROM THE WINGS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
