I had a chance to spend some time with upcoming Windows 7 OS. And because I am wallpaper maniac :-) the default wallpaper (this one - View from Arstechnica website) was most interesting to me. I decided to fire up Photoshop and try to draw better wallpaper. I changed the fish (because my favorite is clown-fish), made wallpaper darker (I thought it was uncomfortably light), tweaked light source and reflections. I'm not sure if it turned out better, but here is the result!
Jorjennia Jaushlin · 26 April 2009
Beautiful work! I love your artistic genius!
Carl Willetts · 26 April 2009
How good would it have been for Windows 7 to have included some of Vlad's wallpapers? At least my Windows 7 desktop will have Vlad's wallpaper and not the usual sterile slop from MS. Excellent work by the way!
Karl · 26 April 2009
I quite dislike it. The fish seems a bit too... fat. And the texture looks more like brushed metal than scales. But anyway, that's good work, eh ;).
Vlad Gerasimov · 26 April 2009
Jorjennia, Carl, Karl: thanks for your honest opinions :-)
Illya Termeno · 26 April 2009
Определенно наряднее, чем оригинал. Хорошая работа!

And another new category, what's going on. :-?
Cheezwhiz · 26 April 2009
What a coincidence. I just installed the Windows 7 Beta. Now I have the perfect replacement for the default wallpaper!
Martin Stružský · 26 April 2009
Wow, my favourite fish from the Finding Nemo movie on my desktop by my favourite wallpaper designer. 8-) Lovely as usual. ;-)
Bin Liu · 27 April 2009
What about creating a series of wallpapers/clocks of this kind featuring different kinds of fish?
Michaela Basham · 27 April 2009
I like this one better. The beta fish seemed kind of drab and lifeless, and you're right, it did seem too light. Your wallpaper is much more vibrant!
Justin Murray · 27 April 2009
no offense vlad, but i prefer the original better.
Arthur Pustynin · 27 April 2009
Очень приятная рыбка)
Vlad Gerasimov · 27 April 2009
Justin Murray: I am not offended at all! Karl: I took your comment into consideration and made slight changes - fish is not so fat anymore, and background is not looking like metal. Thanks!
efand · 27 April 2009
That's not as i expected...... the fish seems unreal
David I. · 27 April 2009
I'm all for alternatives to Windows 7. ;-)
Vit Svarc · 27 April 2009
You are my favourite wallpaper maker, Ubuntu is my favourite operating system. Please, can you make some wallpaper(s) with ubuntu theme?
sergiom99 · 28 April 2009
Its amazing how M$ is copy-cating Linux look-and-feel even more release after release. would love to see an Ubuntu themed wallpaper. And a cow themed one! ;-) Keep up the good work Vlad!
Jaideep Nadkarni · 28 April 2009
Its better than the real thing!
Barbara Kurzawska · 28 April 2009
I think clown-fish fits better. Original wallpaper looks so.. so.. blurry (water is blue, fish is blue, I think it doesn't look good). Another wonderful work :) Thank you!
Harro · 28 April 2009
Maybe your should go apply at microsoft as wallpaper maker.. the guy they currently have for the job isn't doing as good as you ;)
Pete · 28 April 2009
To me, the fish looks out of place. Some more shading maybe? Translucency? A blue sheen, reflecting the color of the water?
George Mariot · 29 April 2009
It is beautiful !!! As always. Thanks
Suzana · 29 April 2009
I like your clownfish, he can come over and play with the ones we have in our tank, maybe your next wallpaper you can give him a few clownfish pals and a nice sea anemone?
Mel · 29 April 2009
Yours is WAY better!
pete · 30 April 2009
beautiful nemo , but the fish has to be put more in the middle of the wall as the original . nonetheless on my desk right now :-)
Cynthia · 1 May 2009
Well done Vlad! Did you come to Oz (Australia) after your trip to Kiwiland (N.Z.)? Clown fish lives in our Great Barrier Reef. Thanks a million.
Kevin · 1 May 2009
So, is this a subtle suggestion that Windows 7 (or Microsoft) is/are clown(s)? jk
Dan from Chicago · 1 May 2009
MUCH better! Ridiculously better than standard MS wallpapers. Keep it up, love it!
Davidz · 4 May 2009
Great work! Looks so beautiful on my desktop.

Feng Wang · 11 May 2009
I love this one. I've always been liked to compare this one to the original MS wallpaper.
nupoor · 15 May 2009

Aaron · 22 May 2009
Con su permiso, en mi blog (http://kjellc30.blogspot.com) he puesto un post diciendo lo mucho que me gustan tus fondos de pantalla. Espero que no sea molestia. He puesto un enlace, a ver si algun amigo pone este fondo que es tan bonito.
fezighart · 29 May 2009

Carole · 29 May 2009

Просто изумительная картинка. Как и все остальные на вашем сайте. Простые чистые линии. Покой и умиротворение. Ваши обои радуют глаз, но не отвлекают от основной работы слишком навязчивыми деталями. Ставлю на рабочие столы своих компьютеров исключительно ваши работы еще с 2013 года и еще ни разу не пожалел. Спасибо!
