Member Holobits said:I have been a member of DB for 5+ years now, and giving Ryan a thorough review would be tough in a short format so I will try my best.
My personal preferences are the space, images with a person in it(Toward Daylight 2006, etc...), technology fantasy, and his Halloween themes. This isn't to say that his others are bad, they are fantastic, this is just my personal preference.
It is interesting to see how technology and Ryan have evolved. You can definitely tell the difference technology has made in his wallpapers with how much more realistic most of them are compared to his early work. You can also see how Ryan has evolved as his work has changed much over the years and he has a large variety of different themes opposed to just a few themes from his earlier work.
Over all Ryan's work is outstanding. His attention to detail is top notch and he knows how to blend lighting to give the ever important appropriate shadowing which makes life realistic. You can tell he puts a ton of hours of work into each wallpaper, and although some are not master pieces, each and every one of them is excellent to outstanding in quality and craftsmanship.
If there was one thing I would improve upon, and this is minor, is the turn around time on wallpapers at times. Some times there are fairly lengthy delays (about a week to 10 days) before you see or hear anything from Ryan. While this isn't too bothersome as I know he has a life on top of his job. At times I find myself wanting to see what is next and am left hanging for a while. As a fan that can be a bit discouraging but I have remained a member of Ryan's for over 5 years now and will continue to do so until such time that Ryan feels that making wallpapers is not his thing anymore.
Thank you for the work Ryan and I highly encourage anyone to become a member of Digital Blasphemy. The wall papers are excellent, the customer support is excellent, and the fact Ryan actually listens and responds to his members feed back is invaluable!
