I like it, Flam! Way to branch out in styles. Just, what is the horn thing sticking out of his head? Was that part of the picture?

Nice job!

I think the "horn thing sticking out of his head" is just brushwork..... meant as a border.

Having two of him is a little odd, and i can't read the words....

Over all i like it though! the brushwork and blending are good....

ooh! I like it! The "horn" as everyone says, looks like hair to me! Almost like he played with hair gel! I love it! Very creative! You are very talented

That looks absolutely terrific! Wonderful job! I applaud you!
That was always something I had trouble with, making blends look effortless.

And I could be wrong Lilliandil, but I don't think you're supposed to be able to read all of the words. Sometimes it's just used as to have something there and it looks good. As I say though, I could be wrong, in which case, I have nothing much to say.

That's pretty flambeau! I love it! I also love the fonts!

Very original and creative....very nice work!

Lovely work, flambeau! I've always liked those pictures of Ben from that photoshoot and really like the layout of this wallpaper. The doubled, almost shadow B&W effect of the same picture is great, particularly since Ben is turning to look backwards. The coloring on the main shot is nice too...with his face and hair having a more redish appearance. It works to make the image stand out from the background. The blending of course, as well as the incorporation of the textures that merge with the background, is flawless. I particularly love the 'splash & swirlyish' fade out texture you used right around Ben's photos! Amazing! And last but not least the text texture you used in the background adds a nice touch to the whole image. What is the text you used for Bens' name? I believe I might have it, but I'm just curious. Overall, I love the light and carefree feel that you created in this wallie. For me, it emphasizes the original idea of the photoshoot...preppy young man, walking down a ritzy street!

An absolutely cool wallpaper! I love the layout, the background color, and the effect of 'visual echo' by the doubled picture, the way it plays along with him looking back. And I've always adored the pictures from this photoshoot, for some reason they're very appealing and pleasant to look at. I like the summer stroll feeling of the wallpaper, corresponding with the theme of the original photo. Great job!

oh wow, really cool I love it (love Ben's striped tie ) it's really amazing

Wow flambeau, quite the work! Great job on that!

Thank you all for the comments!

Just, what is the horn thing sticking out of his head? Was that part of the picture?

*cough* Uh, nope. That was just an accident from one of the brushes I used on the wallpaper, and I didn't even notice it until I saw your post. I've fixed it now, and hope that it looks better.

i can't read the words....

Well, as long as you can read his name, then you should be doing fine. The rest of the text is just random tiny text, meant as a design element, and you're not supposed to be able to read it.

Thank you, Lady Lilliandil!

You are correct. Thank you for the comment!

Thank you, Damsel and greenbird!

What is the text you used for Bens' name?

I believe that it's called 'Downcome', but I'm not positive about that. You should be able to find it at dafont.com.
And thank you for your awesome feedback!

That is a very neat way of putting it! The 'visual echo' (love that phrase!) was something that just kind of happened as I was toying with it, and I'm so glad that you like it!

And thank you wild rose and Ben!
