This wallpaper was decomposed to show how I use textures in a wallpaper.

  1. The lineart was redrawn in Illustrator.
  2. The coloring was down in Photoshop.
  3. What adding texture to the image does.
  4. Time to focus on the background: first off, the sun motif, drawn in Illustrator.
  5. A lot of textures blended together to make UBER TEXTURE!
  6. Blending the two elements of the background really changes their appearance.
  7. Blending the foreground and background, the textures help maintain an overall uniform appearance.
  8. Color adjustments to make the picture brighter - the theme IS "guiding light" after all - and some text, and you're ready to go!
