While we’re on the subject of Mirror’s Edge…

Mirror's Edge small

…how about this rather nice Mirror’s Edge cityscape by MichalKus?


Quadtree Art

QuadtreeOracle Banner

I’ve always had an interest in computer generated imagery and art, even though I’ll be the first to admit I level a level of artistic skill roughly on par with underdeveloped slime-mould. Fractals, Lorenz Attractors, cellular automata, and so on. All fascinating.

So after seeing a few pictures generated using Quadtrees to approximate actual images, I thought I’d give it a shot.

Wallpapers for you Sir

Sir, You Are Being Hunted

The talented and presumably human Christian Anderson has created a series of wallpapers for Big Robot’s Sir, You Are Being Hunted. Despite the frailties of his mortal, organic frame Master Anderson’s works are both sinister and delightful. Just like the game.

Barrett Biggers Banner

Wow… Via Dueling Analogs I’ve discovered the Etsy store of Barrett Biggers, who does some truly amazing artwork.

Fine art prints in my geek vintage and tradigital painting styles of famous games, anime, and films. Legend of Zelda, Miyazaki, Nintendo, Evangelion, Final Fantasy and so much more!

They aren’t wrong. The Metroid pictures are particularly wonderful, though the my personal favourite is probably the Dune poster.

Snarky IP wallpapers

DRM Logo

Installing Might and Magic X introduced me to the wonders of Uplay, via Steam. What a stupid idea that is. The whole DRM issue annoyed me so I responded in a typically British manner, by putting some desktop wallpapers together.

New images: The Happy Collection

I made the first wallpaper in this set, Endorphin, during my final exams back at university.  Having my desktop looking so happy helped me keep a sense of proportion about the whole thing.

Shortly after I posted it I got a request from a friend, who was also doing exams,  who wanted a new version – it was great, she said, but needed more pink.  And so “Happy Smarties” was born:

Shortly after that a different friend wanted yet another version, this time for his multi-monitor setup.  So here’s the extreme widescreen version:

This set always amused me, but I’m still surprised at the amount of traffic they got on my old website.

New Image: Redshift

When I first posted this image I had this niggling feeling it was very similar to one I’d seen elsewhere. Years later, I still get that feeling. Regardless, Redshift spends more time as my desktop wallpaper than anything else I’ve made.

Pictures

Flicking through site stats, I found out that the CG images I had on my old site actually got a fair few hits, so I’m going to sporadically upload them to this site over time, whenever I’m too busy and/or lazy to write an actual post.

The pictures are all either algorithmically generated, or composed with an old copy of Vue D’Esprit I got free with PC Format yonks ago.  As before, they are all available under a Creative Commons License (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0).
