2/3/99--As of 2/16/99, I will be working full time on creating graphics for this site and developing other projects. I will be leaving my full-time programmer job at ACT, Inc. This means that my only source of income will be from this site. The images on my site can take up to a week to create. For the past year I have been working over 60 hours per week on this site, in addition to 40 hours per week at my "day job". You can imagine how much free time this has left me. I decided I could proceed in one of two ways.
I will be shifting my emphasis from the free gallery to the members gallery more and more. All of my new work will be posted there first , and selected images will be released to the free gallery after a period of time has elapsed. Quite simply, the only way to see everything is to sign up. The free gallery is not going to disappear (if I can help it), and I am not going to stop updating it. The free gallery will continue as long as advertisers support it. I don't expect someone to join my members gallery on their first or second visit to my site. Look around for a while, and if you like what you see, please join. There are 4 times as many images in the membership area as in my public gallery. If, however, I am forced to return to full-time employment with another company (due to lack of sign-ups or declining revenue from banner-ad sales), you will see the free gallery start to dry up at an accelerated pace. I can no longer work two full time jobs. Personally, I would rather spend my time creating cool imagery for you than designing some corporate web presence. If you support me in this, please express yourself by purchasing your membership today! Today I've retired approximately 30 images to the members gallery, leaving around 45 images for you to download for free. Furthermore, addition to the free gallery will be usually be accompanied by retirements. I won't be limiting my retirements to the bottom half of my top 50 either. Even with the reduced free gallery, I still feel I have one of the largest and best collections of original free 3d wallpapers available on the Internet. I have also changed my policy on people using my graphics on their personal web pages. From now on, a membership is required before permission will be granted. Simple as that. I hope you continue to visit my site, whether you sign-up for a membership or visit the free gallery. In either gallery you will find only the highest quality computer graphics, designed especially for desktops. Thanks for being patient with me as I make this transition in my life. |
