High resolution versions of my wallpapers and such are available at my website.
This is my original gallery.

Now, on to the pictures.

Today, I've got a little something neat I whipped up, experimenting with shadows, reflections, and depth. I don't know what it is, but the text still seems a bit out of place to me. :(

Now, for my demands suggestions, for the admins: increase the attatchment limits per post and globally. Emoticons with a white border against a dark background look like crap, fix that. And the buttons are just as bad. I mean jesus, they look like dinosaur sh*t. Oh yeah, and don't put attached images into thumbnails. And I am very displeased that you cannot edit a topics title after it is posted. Very displeased.
Last but definately not least, allow HTML. BBCode tags suck.

Ahwell, just enjoy the pic:

Actually, speaking of emoticons, I have all the emoticons without the white border!

*Goes to upload them

Be sure to fix everything else too!

I love this photo. I don't know why, I just do.
Taken at my cabin, its just a macro shot of some small jars of spices.

Oh wait, I can't upload it! Gad dang it Python!

Nice Picture DeathRay2K, great shadow effects.

Nice Pic ;] I love the reflections

Nice Pic man!

Still waiting on increased upload limits...

In the meantime, here's part of something I'm working on...

Looks good so far....the font strangly fits the backround!

what's it gonna be?

If I told you it wouldn't be a secret now would it.

But here's something cool anyways.

Nice kick-ass stuff.

Hmm...

you seem to make a lot of 'em in no-time at all. the effects are pretty simple. you might want to spend more time on them, IMHO

Even though the effects are simple, the finished product is always good!

Why thank you.

And Chielscape, I challenge you to correctly identify all of the 'effects' I use in any of these images.
While you work on that, here's something new.

D2K, you're a machine! :rockin:
you're like the master of photoshop (or whatever you use)

I've been working on quite a few things recently, mainly my downloads system, which is nearing v3.
In this version, among other things, I'm adding icons for select file formats.
A lot of file formats, to be honest, which gives me a ton of work.
Here are a few examples:

I know that the compressed file icon is pretty bad, and the image icon isn't great either, I've spent too much time on them to fix it.

So far, I've made icons for all of the following formats:
7z, aac, ace, ai, aiff, arc, arj, asf, asm, asp, atom, aud, avi, bat, bh, bik, bin, bmp, bz2, c, cab, cc, cgi, cif, cpp, css, csv, cue, daa, deb, divx, diz, dmg, doc, dot, dpf, dsk, dtd, dv, gif, gzip, h, ha, hpp, html, inc, ini, iso, j, jar, jav, java, jpg, js, jsp, lha, log, lua, m4a, m4p, m4v, mdf, midi, mov, mp3, mp4, mpg, nrg, ocx, odg, odp, ods, odt, ogg, ogm, pcx, pdf, php, phps, pkg, pl, png, ppt, ps, psd, py, qt, ram, rar, raw, rm, rpm, rss, rtf, sql, svg, swf, tga, tgz, tif, txt, uha, uif, vcd, wav, wma, wmv, xls, xml, and zip.

Phew, I've been working on these for nearly 2 hours straight.
Personally, I'm most proud of the CD icon, it looks really cool.

They look really good. If you did all of those formats in 2hrs then i'm wondering what planet you're from.

you could also make some for vxl, shp, map, and mpr's, that would be cool...

I will as soon as I can figure out how to meaningfully represent game data in general...
Any ideas?

Ah well, life goes on.

Mmm, I like this picture.

Also, obey the sig.

Triplepost!

I like them anyways

Good to know.

This post is really going to kill any users with slow internet who for whatever reason wander into this topic...

A few of you may know that I was working on a 2006 calendar, but unfortunately ran out of time and inspiration. This year though, I've got it done! And I must say, I was absolutely stunned by how it turned out!
I don't exaggerate when I say that the photos are awe-inspiring.

Without further ado or hype, here are the low resolution images:

Feel free to buy the actual calendar with the high quality prints for just $24.99.
All proceeds go to the 'Get DeathRay2K an Upgrade' fund.

Wow D2K, this stuff is AMAZING. This is profesional, yes? as in like a $job$?
These pics are SO well defined how in the world did you get em??

EDIT:

Oh, I see, cool

Whoa, nice

looks kinda like you google'd images and threw some text on them
i personally would have kept the text a lil smaller and out of the way, thats just me, do what you do

google images don't really have the kind of quality as these pics in the calander; unless if D2k has a program that can enhance em...

A quick plug: I've redone the Xaeon Mod website, go check it out!

I agree with you about the text audjo, I'm going to do that next year.

As for the images, no way Google has anything as good as these on it.
Although they look awesome now, when I got them, they were generally quite noisy and sometimes rather blurred, as digital photos tend to be; I spent most of the time working on this touching up the images to make them print-quality.

Seriously the actual images are amazing, I highly recommend buying the calendar. Well, of course I do, I made it, but still, its stunning. I gaurantee*.

*Gaurantee does not constitute a money-back policy


Speaking of Xaeon Mod, here's a wallpaper...

Hmm, I thought I uploaded these already, but apaprently not.

They're based on the TW logos.
Yeah, I know the Nod one is the old one. Can anyone point me to a high quality verison of the new one?

Of course they're both completely vector, and so can be absolutely any size with (almost) perfect quality

Hem...

Guess which spike is on the top.

I'm back to making sidebars...

Sweet, they're all so cool.

I like the 'Flame Demon' wallpaper on D2KStudios.com, tis the sh*t.

woa but im not wasting money on your silly calendars

Perhaps you've been wondering why I haven't updated in a while. No? Oh well, I'm going to tell you anyway.
I've been working on a fake hotel brochure for a research study on the effect of colour for Xerox.
This brochure is designed to make the colour pop in a most delightful way, but at the same time bore people with the black and white version (Which I won't show because its, well, boring)

Sorry for the large size, I couldn't make it any smaller without making the text unreadable.

Welcome.

Made in Terragen 2, which is really, really cool.
I haven't figured out complex terrain texturing yet, but I'm working on it.

Coming soon, to a computer near you.
Check here for the 2048x1536 version.

My new signature...
I had to use a very low resolution for some time, which really got me to appreciate the difficulty in viewing the internet with those restrictions. So I'm getting rid of my current huge signature and replacing it with this smaller one.

And another signature that I was considering...

Here's a little WIP I'm working on at the moment...

An update on that scene...
I've added some alien grass, changed some textures a bit, added fuzz to the alien plant, and changed its model a bit.
