Make the Choice! (.wallpaper.)
As usual was playing with GiMP for a "pill", then I hit the idea of Matrix and finally this. Enjoy 
As for the philosophy,
Quote:
|
When Morpheus and Neo meet, Morpheus offers Neo two pills. The red pill will answer the question "what is the Matrix?" (by removing him from it) and the blue pill simply for life to carry on as before. As Neo reaches for the red pill Morpheus warns Neo "Remember, all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more."
|
Interpret it as you want  [...and oh, just so you know, I've already taken the red pill long back..]

There is no outerglow in the image at all. There are techniques other than layer effects you know..

Re: Make the Choice! (.wallpaper.)
i had choose blue pill long before even knowing the consequences. But nowadays the red pills are given free and choice can be changed whenever u want.
so the quote " Once u made the choice, there is no turning back" is not more valid

Re: Make the Choice! (.wallpaper.)
iMav, you see the stark difference between us? You A Windows Lover tells to ignore, while I A Linux User offers to choose with truth being the anchor
Well don't read too much into it, just a wallpaper I thoroughly enjoyed creating, nothing more.

Re: Make the Choice! (.wallpaper.)
Why would you take a red/blue pill from a bald man in the middle of nowhere?
Because you had nothing better to do atm .
Good point is that the bald guy offered choice, and you were free to choose what you wanted (Instead of someone nagging u to choose the red/blue one).
Why i wrote all this senseless crap?
because i had nothing better to do ,
damn internet is boring if you dont have anything to do  .

Re: Make the Choice! (.wallpaper.)
Where's the green pill? Or am I not supposed to be under medication?
Nice concept, but the wally needs some work. Doesn't have that zing.

Re: Make the Choice! (.wallpaper.)
Is there a bigger version of this wallpaper, preferably a widescreen 1280x800? Its looking awful after streching.
