Full image of "Forge", my entry for a DA contest which couldn't even place top 25 *kick*.

(Download for the full view.)

Saw the contest come into my inbox and was like... why won't I do this? I do space wallpapers a lot. And dual screen, sure. Straightforward. The catch is you have to make an image that isn't on center where the dual screen divider lies. And the other catch is making sure that essentially each monitor can act as its own image if need be. So, off to the races with this one. Also: 1. My Photoshop can handle the chug. 2. I have a render machine with a Titan graphics card. 3. Fractals are my friends. 4. The monitor they are offering as part of the contest, I actually own a slightly less new variant of it, as in, if it looks good on my display, it will look good on ANY LG display. Granted, if I had read the rules more clearly, the Sponsor was "DA" not "LG" like I thought. If I had double-checked I wouldn't have entered.

Took slightly more time than usual (about 6 hours instead of the usual 2). And way more memory than usual. 3 gigabyte working file. Crammed in a lot of my spacey fractals, screwed around. Wanted originally rainbow, but ended up going blue and red. Was getting so busy that had to pull back the colors. But yeah, planets, space, my happy place! I love novas especially and how they forge everything in the universe, birthplace of stars, and planets, materials, and life. We wouldn't be here creating without one!

Photoshop CS4, Chaotica

(Available as a 7680x2160 wallpaper. You can see the set of wallpapers below.)
