<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://gallery.artofgregmartin.com/wallpapers.html' target='_blank'>http://gallery.artofgregmartin.com/wallpapers.html</a><br /><br /></div>This is the first time we've posted about desktop wallpaper here on Digital Media Thoughts, but after looking through Greg's work, I knew others would be an impressed as I am. I've seen a lot of digital artwork, and so much of it has the "straight out of Bryce" look to it - Greg's does not. His work looks more like a painting - I have no idea what software he uses, but he has a <a href="http://gallery.artofgregmartin.com/tutorials.html">tutorial page</a> where he explains:<br /><br /><i>"My goal is to raise the bar for aspiring celestial artists everywhere by making the basic techniques to create realistic spatial elements available for all interested..."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/celestia3_800.jpg" /><br /><br />Greg's work is so beautiful I'm looking at getting a large-format print of his work to hang on my wall. Stunning!

Those are incredible. Think I'll bookmark his site and hopefully read and try out his tutorial sometime. For now I think I'll just use some of his wallpapers on my desktop.

I've had his "Genesis" painting as my Pocket PC theme for some time now. :) Great stuff.

Thanks, Jason!

I like to force myself to take wallpaper-worthy shots with my camera, but also dip into National Geographic's vault every now and then:

Wow, nice stuff!!! I haven't changed wallpapers in over a year, but I think I may have a new one now.
