Well, I spent most of my day in PhotoShop... came up with THIS

[Danoz]

Haha, the original is actually 2000x1400. So, basically I was a little bored and I started modeling a penguin in Wings3D. Before I knew it, I had modeled a set of balloons-- and once I realized he sort of looked like the Linux penguin, I modeled the Ubuntu Logo. Then, once I had an interesting model, I spent a few hours in PhotoShop drawing up background and shading my character-- adding erosion and contours to the logo's perspective.

ANYWAY. That was fun. Goodbye, Saturday...

I've done this before as I make desktops in Photoshop too. I've spent 6 -7 hours on a few of the desktops I've done. But I think it's relaxing, playing around with all of those possibilities.

Time really flies when I do that stuff. But if the project comes out nice, it's always worth it.

Anyway, good job!

You should make it available for download!

Thanks .

I just realized how gosh darn cute this picture is. It's almost sickeningly cute .

I better have a whiskey and watch some college basketball.

I would gladly have that as a desktop, even though I have MacOS, it's just so darn cute.

It is very cute! Well done

Nice work, Danoz, both on a technical level and in terms of composition and cuteness. Photoshop can definitely be addictive; I've spent many consecutive hours on a couple of my more complicated pictures.

We haven't had a post your desktop wallpapers thread for a while have we? Maybe we could have one of those??

That looks so sweet. Definitely a Saturday well spent.

It reminds me of the old computer game "Lemmings"...
