Blender Wallpaper Contest with Prize!!!

[BgDM]

From: lucidMonkey

I have 1 free web hosting account credit to give away. It comes with a domain name registration and is good for one year. The only catch is that it only lasts 1 year and after that you would have to pay $70 to keep it with this company but you are not under any obligation to do so! It is a version 4 account as can be seen here: http://nomonthlyfees.com/compare.htm

The contest! A wallpaper, preferably in 1280x1024 and/or 1600x1200.

It can be anything but it would be nice if it were somehow blender related. You can enter an old render at wallpaper size if you like.

The only image that should be posted is a thumb, please link to the fullsize images.

The contest will end on April 1st at which point I will determine who gets the account credit and we will set up the necessary transaction! No credit card is required, only a valid email address. Cheers!

Thanks BgDM! If anyone has any questions then let me know. I really want someone who wants/needs this account to get it, and one can never have enough blender wallpapers. Cheers and good luck!

I dont really want these counting towards the contest (I can't say I need the web space :-? ) but, I can still share some of my wallpapers I made for myself...I'll make some more too, as I get time.
I didn't read that they had to be MADE with Blender, these are just GIMP..
These first two are some fairly minimalist wallpapers.. I like a nice clean looking desktop..they're in 1280x1024 format too

Death: you can enter as many as you want. Please just link to the fullsize image though, some people are still on dial-up you know! You can post a smaller thumbnail of the wallpaper if you like.

Nice entries so far, keep them coming!

i don't need the webspace either, just sharing these. not "blender related" other than the fact that they were made with blender.

Great Entries so far... If I have trouble deciding who should win I may put this to a public vote, it is probably the fair way to do it anyway. If you do not want the free account then please make it be known so you do not accidentally win it!

Cheers Folks!!!

Here's mine, I hope its on time, I just saw the "few hours left" post in News and chat. It's the one I use, except mine is a bit more customized with white captions for grouping program icons on the desktop.

[lucidMonkey]

*edit (delete me!)

[jessethemid]

thanks. If anyone want's me to I'll make a webpage tutorial on how I made it and post it on my new webpage. Just post and if enough people want it I'll do it.

also, My favorite is Alltaken's, it's a nice blend of 2d/3d gfx. I wish, however, that he'd made it water instead of a cloud background, that'd look better. (any chance alltaken? If not, maby someone could do it for you?)

also, I'll post the .blend of mine in awhile.

[kai_yak]

I made this little wall paper for the fun of participating. i must give credit to my friend Danifou for making the blender logo. So, really in did not do much. hehe :) The materials, environment, text, camera setup, lighting, render and i made the post in elysiun. ;) just being stupid hehe!
