This is the first time I actually used a fully vectored character for a wallpaper. Pros? No worries about extraction or scan quality issues. Cons? It takes too long to vector a character.

Orignally I had aimed to do a tech background but the "shell" makes it hard to incorporate flat-looking tech designs. So, I had no choice but to try another approach which is what I ended up with now.

Water ripple wasn't too hard to make but I didn't want to settle with the generic tutorial design. So I had to come up with some extra steps to achieve what I needed.

So umm...that's that.

PS: The Preview Pic looks blurry but I assure you, the fullsize image is worth the download.
