I was going to post these up yesterday night but I got home pretty late so I decided not to. Anyway, here is another batch of Arashi wallpapers. It's solo's of each member this time. I decided to make some of them in three sizes. If it works out I'll start releasing wallies in those three sizes regularly. I've been feeling awful lately. Don't know if it's because of the recent crazy LA weather, stress from work or my terrible lifestyle and habits. I'm going to quit rambling now so check-out the wallpapers below and have fun using them!

AIBA Set


1280x800                               1024x768

I love the Aiba pic on the left!! Someone sent them to me but since I deleted the messages on my inbox I can't remember who XD If it's yours let me know so that I can give proper credit^^


1280x800                               1024x768

Another pic sent by the same person who sent me the pics for the previous wallpaper. Anyway, she sent me two scans from this magazine. I was thinking of blending both of them together but I think it looks better like this. Anyway, if anyone knows where I can get the rest of the scans from this magazine then please let me know because I want to make more wallies out of them! Also, I love that floating lanterns pic <3 I used them on last week's stuff too XD

A surprisingly easy to make wallpaper! Originally, it was just supposed to be the frame with three slots but I liked 4 pics and I couldn't decide which one not too include so in the end I just chose my fave one and put that out of the frame. I like the colors...it's coral-pink! It's chilly now here in LA so looking at this kinda warms me up^^

MATSUMOTO Set


1280x800                               1024x768

Made this a long time ago!! I wanted a simple wallpaper that has a lot of clean space for desktop icons. To make it more interesting I turned Matsujun's eyes blue so that it would match the cloud themed background. Another quick to make wallpaper^^ I really should post tutorials but I don't think I have time and also I don't think anyone is interested.


1280x800                               1024x768

Made this earlier this year so it's old!!
I found the image on google and I just went crazy with it XD


1280x800                               1024x768

Making the text took longer than putting together the other stuff on this wallpaper!! I forgot how to make the text kinda like glass so I kept experimenting with settings and stuff. I remember doing this text for some NEWS wallpapers before. Now that I think about it, I kinda don't remember how to do it again XD I re-colored the rose to match the purple color-theme then I copied it 4 times and blended them together to get the rose fame effect.

NINOMIYA Set


1024x768 ONLY!!

From early this year. This is supposed to be a scrap one, a random practice piece. I'm kinda just trying different things but I decided to include it on this batch anyway so if anyone is interested then just grab and enjoy^^


1280x800                               1024x768
It glows XD Well, it's a moving...err, flashing wallpaper. I have no idea if it will work for everyone but it works on mine. The eyes and the text flash every 0.2 seconds. I was originally going to turn this into a horror type wallpaper with Nino saying something creepy but I got lazy XD I'm still working on it though, I have two scraps of it. One is a ghost theme and the other is a murder sort of theme. Anyway, let me know if the flashing works. If it works for most people I will post the Arashi-group flashing/moving wallpapers next time!!


1280x1024                              1280x800                               1024x768

Made just the other night.
It's quite similar to the Matsujun wallpaper I posted above^^
I re-colored the eyes to match the text.


1280x800                               1024x768

I was looking for Sho-concert pics in black when I randomly came across this pic.
I kinda remember making something similar to this before.
Anyway, I added some glowing trump symbols/signs.
I really like the "Come Over" text that kinda wraps as a frame^^


No Text          1024x768         With Text

BONUS. Nothing Special.
If anyone has pretty Gantz scans please send them over!!
I only have that one so I made it as a wallpaper for my laptop XD

OHNO Set


1280x1024                              1280x800                               1024x768

I cannot get over how cute he looks in a business suit!!
"HELLO" theme because he's on the phone...lame, I know XD
I added some fish too and some water splashes^^


1280x800                               1024x768

I love the pic and the text^^ I think it goes perfectly well with Riida's personality! All the scans from this photoshoot had a delicate/fragile feel to them. I swear it made me want to cradle him like a baby XD


1280x1024                              1280x800                               1024x768

Another scrap piece that ended up as a wallpaper.

I was trying out some new PS texture tricks.
This one features Japanese characters of Ohno's name.


SAKURAI Set


1280x1024                              1280x800                               1024x768

Scrap piece again that ended up as a wallpaper.I love the girl on the swing!! I originally wanted to make wallies in black with lots of light texture but I couldn't find a pic. I have a couple on my computer but I've already used them before. If anyone has gorgeous scans of Sho-chan in black (bg)...please send them over...specially the ones from concerts!!



1280x1024                              1280x800                               1024x768

Quick 5-10 minute wallpaper. Simple. Love the quote!
I lightened his eyes just to make it more interesting.
I made this last night.
My current wallpaper on my desktop btw!

1280x1024                              1280x800                               1024x768

Something simple and clean.
Love the text on this one too.
Also made last night^^


1280x1024                              1280x800                               1024x768

I had a lot of fun making this one^^ The theme is sunset! You can somewhat see the dusky sky on the right side. I really like the sparkles too! Originally I was going to make this into a fire theme of some sort but I couldn't remember how to do the fire text XD Just when I was wondering what to do, I came across the light song text so I decided to make it into this instead^^

This wallpaper has been sitting in my computer since spring!!! I made it for myself to use as a somewhat refreshing summer wallpaper for my work laptop. My office-mate who saw it said that it reminds her of "Zest" soap-bars! Another said it's "Bacardi Limon" XD The water background alone took about an hour to make. Believe it or not but those are actually 14 different water textures and drops that I had to modify and re-color so that they'll match. It was fun to make though^^

My first time making a marquee like text. I think it turned out well. There are lit bulbs and I also added burned-out bulbs. Each bulb had to be put one by one and re-colored to match. I also added a spark-like texture to make it look like the bulbs are about to burnout. Each letter had to be modified to look like a container type of box too. Everything else after that was easy including adding the main Arashi image, the city back-drop and the damask pattern. I'm thinking of using this text effect to make a red colored Christmas theme wallpaper.

The next set of wallies have 4 different versions!!
I originally ended up with #2 but then adding the color-rays to make #3 gave it a pretty nice punch so I tried making a simpler bright one with just that and came up with version #1. I tried playing around with it more and the end product is #4.

FINAL GALAXY VERSION




Here is a PREVIEW of my next update!

Although not pictured, there will be Sho-chan wallpapers too!! I usually work in AMNOS order when I make Arashi solo wallies so Sho-chan's always ends up last XD Also, there will be around 3 different wallpapers for each member!! I most likely will be done next weekend so please drop by again when you have time. The week after that will be Kanjani 8 btw!!

To everyone who dropped by this LJ entry..here's a little BONUS for you!!
I did not include it into the preview but I hope that you'll like them^^



OHBA Washing Machine RABU Wallpaper!!

Phone Wallies!!













I have an android for so the wallpaper size for my phone is different. My desktop screen is 1920x1200 and the other one is 1280x1024. If you're leaving a comment it would be great if you can tell me the resolutions for your desktops, laptops and phone XD I want to make graphics in sizes that a lot of people can use. Just in case anyone is wondering, since I work in the Fashion District my wallpapers are usually shots of printed fabric swatches XD



I'll update later with my personal pic-spam!!
Lots of Aiko-kawaii-ness and foodies too!!

For updates you can check out my twitter, tumblr and deviantart^^

Happy Days!!
