Possum Roadkill Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) WOTW # 33 Microscopic World ! WOTW Comp Rules: All submissions must be created in Paint.net with the exception of renders and stock photos when allowed. Minimum size is 800 X 600. There is no maximum size, but keep in mind that people will want to look at your image and if it takes too long to load, they may not look at it. Please try to make your image in the proportion of a Wallpaper, because this is a Wallpaper comp. (Duh!) NO PLACEHOLDERS Do not post an entry until it is a finished product. NO WIPS ! Obviously you cannot use the stocks or renders as your entire submission, so the majority of your image should be created in Paint.net. Special rule # 5. Do not anger the Possum. WOTW # 31 - Microscopic World ! Theme Rules. Please read this ! Theme is " Microscopic World !" The Theme Idea You are to make a wallpaper that depicts life in the microscopic world. That can include nanobots, viruses, bacterium, crystalline structures, or anything else that you can imagine would be not visible to the naked eye. You must use Paint.Net but you may also use other graphics programs as well. You may not use stock images or renders. This comp will run for TWO Weeks ! DO NOT Post your entries in this thread. PM your entries to me and I will post them as they come in. Entry period for this competition will run through 8:00 p.m. Saturday evening (July 9th, 2011), U.S. Eastern Time. All submissions entered up to this time will be allowed. If you have any questions, post them in the Discussion Thread or PM Possum Roadkill. I would be happy to help anyone interested.

Moninca Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Erm, dumb question I'm sure, but what are the usual proportions for a wallpaper? I've never paid attention before. Is it something like 1079 x 726, or some other random number I can't think of?? My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountnman Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 lol, they vary so much. i make mine to 1440x900, because thats what my 19" widescreen uses. 800x600, 1024x768, 1152x864, 1280x768, 1280x960, and 1280x1024 are also listed as optional sizes for screen resolution on my computer. but you dont have to stick to those sizes. anything near them will work. wallpapers can be centered and/or strecthed, among other options. the main point of this rule is to make sure entries are large enough and shaped to fit a screen, else you would have some joker turning in a banner or such, i.e. 600x2400. or turning in something too small.

Moninca Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Ah, okay makes sense. Wow, I'm going to have to work really large for that one. Lots of saving and crashing expected. XD lol Thanks. My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountnman Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 when i use my old comp that cant handle the strain, i often work on the individual components of a work in different pics, the copy/paste them together only in the final step 1 SARCASM- Just one of the many services I offer free to the public.

barbieq25 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 MTN is right...break up the components. Save often. I had a great set of crash logs until I got a new pc. Knowledge is no burden to carry. April Jones, 2012 Gallery My DA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Possum Roadkill Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Since I've been out sick all last week and only got back to getting on a computer today, I would like to keep this comp's entry period open until the weekend. Is everyone OK with that? I certainly hope more people enter this comp. It's really not a hard theme because stuff in the microscopic world look so abstract and unreal it opens up things to a wide interpretation.
