This week we're featuring the work of
Seleyah. Not only does she bend her experience and talent to making desktop wallpapers, she's also shared them with her fellow Myst fans here at dA! The impressive results can be enjoyed in our
Wallpaper Gallery.
We asked Seleyah a few questions about how she makes her beautiful desktop wallpapers. Below you can read her answers. Afterward we hope you'll take time to look through her gallery and leave her a bit of
when you're done.
SELEYAH"S INTERVIEWMonday June 15 is the start date for the Myst Fan club sponsored competition,
Stranger Than Ever.
Participants will create their own interpretation of the 'Stranger' set in a scene from their favorite corner of the Myst universe. In addition to the following awards, all entries will be placed in a gallery made especially for this competition.
All media qualify for this competition. Traditional drawing & painting, digital pieces, sculpture, 3D models, works rendered in textiles, etc.
Images of the finished pieces must be submitted to the club gallery by Wednesday, July 15.
The artist's description of the submitted work must include the name of the Myst scene. For instance if your interpretation of the stranger is set in Edanna, you'll need to include that information in the description of your submitted work.
There is a limit of one entry per club member.
