    Ok, I'm not that great at PS, still consider myself a noob. But I was bored today, and I am trying to get better in Photoshop. So with that said, I made a wallpaper for the G73 lovers.

    Download the 1080p HERE

    Download the 900p HERE

    I hope everyone likes, but if y'all have some tips I'll be glad to hear them too. I tried to make it black to match the laptop a little, while making the words and logos silver due to the silver "Asus" on the back of the G73. Didn't come out as good as I hoped, but I think that's pretty much best I can do for now.

    Edit:K, I've changed the pic around quite some since I first posted, so if you've downloaded it before, please re-download if you want the latest. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Edit2: Below is a bit less flashy if that's your taste. Click to enlarge/Save.

    It's a little to "busy" for my taste. The notebook pic and the ATI letters seem a little out of place. Otherwise it is nice, 100x better than I can do. ;)

    Thanks everyone for the comments.

    And thanks Mandrake, I touched it up some more. Does it look better?

    I fixed the borders around the laptop, got rid of the Asus logo that was inside the screen of the laptop and re-aligned/darkened the "ATI" part to hopefully make it more together.

    It still looks like the ATI letters and laptop are sliding off of the wing.

    Hmm, I'm not 100% sure I know what you mean. But I did try to match the angles as best I could, if I rotate the laptop anymore it begins to look weird. I dunno, maybe that's not what you mean.

    I'm just saying it looks oddly placed but don't listen to me. I'm not an art expert. :eek:

    LOL, ah gotcha. Yeah, I dont consider myself an art expert either. I just couldnt find any other spot that looks better, and I without the laptop the pic looks more duller.

    But yeah, still appreciate your comment, I like the touched up much better now, and prob wouldnt have touched it up more if you didnt say anything, so :).

    +1 rep!! dkillone

    I think you did an amazing job!! Is it possible for you to make a variant with the G73 laptop positioned about half an inch up off the wing but at the same time not touching the rear stabilizers.

    Thank you.

    That's better than what I had in mind. Could you post a 1600 x 900 variant.

    Thank you sooo much.

    Already did, I re-uploaded the new ones for the first post. :)

    And coolio, I think maybe that was what mandrake had in mind too, but I couldnt quite get it to do that a while back. I guess like I've heard a lot. Sometimes taking a break from something and coming back to it allows you to do things you couldnt figure out before.

    Honestly, the image kind of looks like a F-117 Nighthawk flew through a building, picking stuff up along the way and is now dragging stuff behind it. ;)

    So, while the image is too busy for my tastes, it is still a nice effort.

    Thanks for thinking of me, but please don't waste your time on my opinion. If it was me, I'd probably lose everything but the Nighthawk.

    Thank you very much. Downloading now.

    I guess I already rep'd you earlier, so it won't let me rep you again. :(

    @karudesu

    Naw, you dont need to ask, I'm fine with ppl doing w/e they like with it. Your version is pretty nice, I thought about doing it like that at first, but wanted to keep it as black and silver as I could.

    @Kalim

    Yeah, I havent been repping ppl xD, so that's probably why. I noticed I didnt rep you for your Win7 install guide. So I just did that, might help, but I think I have to rep a few more ppl before it resets for you to be able to rep me again :)

    All-in-all though, I really do appreciate the reps and the kind comments everyone. I wasnt looking for reps really, just something I've been wanting to do so knowing ppl like it is good enough for me. <3

    Great work dkillone ! Since you now have a Asus G73SW ( from your signature ) I thought I'd ask if you are going to make any wallpaper for it too ? I'm getting my Asus G73SW-3DE on Monday and I've been looking for some wallpaper that'll do it justice .

    Thanks Retired UPRR, Hrm, I haven't really thought about making a new one yet. But if you like this one I could change the JH to SW right quick.

    If I can think of any good ideas for one I'll start workin on it, though feel free to share any yourself if you've got something in mind or prefer. :>

    Ahah, nice pics, yeah bit busy today and tomorrow, but I'll see if I can get something going with those.

    Not sure about making it HDR, I guess once I get started I'll let you know for sure. Honestly, I haven't really gotten much better in PS from last summer, but its fun to try and make them at least, even if it turns out bad. =)

    +1 to you sir I love having a good selection of wallpapers keep them coming.

    So far this is my favorite for the G73JH thought I would share.

    I dont like all the writing because you want gadgets icons etc around the screen and this says all it needs to :)

    Feel free to hack it to pieces its not mine.
