PSP Wallpaper - Olivia Wilde

Oh, the ever-volatile world of online fansites. I downloaded the stock images that make up this wallpaper from the Wilde Fan fansite galleries in December, but these days when I try to access the site, Firefox just yells at me saying the server can't be found. Oh well. That's where I got 'em, so that's who I'm crediting.


Anyway, about the submission now. I know I've been very busy, so much so that I've been shirking my Paint.NET Forum duties, but yesterday I got the itch to make something new. I wanted a new PSP wallpaper, and I'd not yet made one of Olivia Wilde, so the decision was a rather simple one.

The primary shot is slightly bloomed, and the background shot is desaturated and slightly blurred. The two shots are blended at her hair - black hair plus high contrast makes for easy transition blending. The composition - two tight shots of her face on the comparatively small PSP screen - has to me a decidedly artistic feel, thanks in no small part to the deep tones and the striking lighting from the original primary shot. The overall dark color palette combined with Olivia's lovely face makes this wallpaper very easy on the eyes.


The single translucent pane backs the currently selected top-level XMB item. It's labeled "XMB", just in case you forget... <_<



Created with The GIMP.
