[HEADING=1]Introduction:[/HEADING]

Inspired by the recent Wallpaper thread. One thing I've noticed on this site is that there are several threads, most notably the Holiday Council Thread, that deal with creating custom avatars for people by commision. Now, I'd like to take this one step further. As a member of this site I'm saddened to see that there aren't any threads for commisioning wallpapers for people. Now, I was lucky enough to be able to make my current wallpaper myself:


However, I've had this for a while and decided to go for a change. And so I figured it would be cool to have a unique wallpaper designed around a short story I wrote some time ago:

http://trivun.deviantart.com/art/Red-Riding-Hood-146431723

And yet, I have little to no experience with art (aside from the wallpaper I currently have, which was using a graphic design tool anyway). So if I try and make my custom wallpaper it'll just look pretty bad.

And I doubt I'm alone. The Holiday Council and other avatar creation threads have seen a lot of traffic and support, and are used extremely often (in fact, that's how I gained my current avatar). So why not do the same for wallpapers? I hence propose that this thread should become an open place for people to request their own wallpaper commisions and hopefully attract the best artists of The Escapist to make these dreams a reality.

[HEADING=1]Mission Statement:[/HEADING]

If any artists here are interested in helping out and joining this new team, then please let me know and I can list you here. Anybody interested in commisioning a wallpaper should post in this thread and hopefully someone will be interested enough to make something for you.

[HEADING=2]SPECIAL REQUESTS:[/HEADING]

If anyone has a special request that they don't feel really fits in the general thread topic, then let me know, or let a member of the Artist List know, and I'll post it here for people to look at. In this section will be the finished works that have been specially commisioned, as well as a list of backlogged special requests for people to take a shot at.

Nothing at the moment. Why not make a request for yourself?

Who's Jenny, and why has she just signed in?

OT: I'm awful at stuff like that, but I like my current background of Blu team, so I don't mind.

This topic could take off.

No problem, that's perfectly fine :). If we can get enough people interested then we can cover all the bases anyway, regardless of what each different person is good at.

I'm interested! Can't put pen to paper to save my life and I don't own Photoshop, but I can do some pretty great things with simple old MS Paint. :D

Trivun, here's an epic link, which is dead now, but if it goes back up it has literally 1000s of wallpapers.

Thanks for that information :). However, this thread is specifically for people to request their own unique custom wallpapers. Thanks for the link though, if it goes back up I'll definitely try and have a look :D

I might be able to help on occasion, but with college, friends, and other things, I don't know how often I can.
If I can, I'll get back to you.

Oh, hey, in the spirit of the subject, anybody who feels they need a new background, take a look at this:

Interesting idea. I wouldn't be able to help at all but this intrigues me...
reg approves.

So, isn't anybody else interested in this idea? Come on, people, you complain about unoriginal threads, you can at least try and support the actual original ones...
