Castiel wallpaper

I should (of course) have been doing other things, but I got distracted by finding an old still from one of my all time fave episodes, On the Head of a Pin.
Experimental wallpapers ensued.
Preview/teaser








I used a texture by salt'n burn called text5 blue angels which is so lovely on its own I could hang it on my wall - you can see it best in the first version. Plus an engraving of primeval rain which I can't remember the source, a couple of brushes downloaded from Brushking and that's about it.

Oh and can I say I officially hate the new Photobucket because it won't upload photos in their original sizes. What is the point of a photo site that doesn't upload large, high res photos?

So gorgeous! I love the green wash on the last image too...

Thanks! They are all the same just using different layer modes. It's really cool how you can get all these different effects.

You really are determined not to work on that history BB, aren't you? Well, once again I approve of your distraction. Not surprisingly, On the Head of a Pin is a favorite of mine as well and these are lovely!

I love the ethereal softness of the first one (that is a beautiful texture base!), the harshness of the second and how the additional elements in the third nicely draw in the feel of the season as a whole. It's always so amazing how much of an effect on tone just changing the layer properties can have.

I am a past master at distracting myself - or is it just something to do with middle age meaning I can't concentrate on anything for more than 2 minutes at a time?
