At Last



This is another one featuring their "on the run" love scene. I wanted to do a simple wallpaper using just a few pictures. I chose the three that I love the most. Aren't they sexy and beautiful?

You can see that two pictures have the feathered effect, making them even more lovely. I thought pink would be a good color to match the feel of the scene. "At Last" is the song used while they made love. (Eva Cassidy, remember?) I thought a heart in the center would look great with their names in it. The sky blue matches wonderfully with the pink. And the little pink hearts are space fillers. But lovely space fillers, right?

My take on each picture... The first one of them lying down is sweet. That was near the beginning of the love scene, and he eased himself on top of her nicely. They began kissing immediately and moving their hands over each other. *sigh* Really romantic! The second is a close up of their hands, which I consider to be really sexy. His hand was over hers and interlocking with hers...as you can see. Mmm!! She's also clutching some sand in her hand. One reason it's so sexy is because it makes you wonder what they were doing while their hands were coming together like that. The third picture shows the hottest part of the love scene! OMG! His hand was doing who-knows-what and then moved up to her neck while he was planting kisses on the back of her neck. And she was pressed against him... Wow! Hot!

Such a beautiful wallpaper for a beautiful love scene. *SIGH*

Heaven


This one is beautiful and very creative.

Gus and Harley had a major love scene on the date specified; it was special because they hadn't been together like that for almost a year. A whole year! And this happened during their "on the run" story. They became much closer during this time. They felt safe with each other and thought it was just the two of them on the run forever. Cue the romance even though there was danger lurking right behind the corner. It was as if for a moment time just stopped, and there were no worries. They took time to just be, thinking that no danger existed.

Also, this took place on a beach set of a soap opera. Even though it was a fake, I'm glad they made love on a beach.

This love scene was wonderful. It was exactly what I hoped it'd be - slow and loving. So, because of that and since I really enjoy GusH love scenes, I made this pretty wallpaper. I thought purple was a good romantic color. There are pictures from almost every moment of the scene and two from their lovely afterglow. I used some different image effects for a couple of the pictures just to spruce up the wallpaper, make it more than just a regular collage. The text are lyrics from the song used in the love scene - Eva Cassidy's version of "At Last", which is so beautiful. It matched the pace of the scene perfectly. The circles of blue ripples are to fill up space, and they represent the ocean even though there wasn't one.

The position of the pictures... I knew I didn't want the corner ones to touch the sides (for some reason I don't remember). And the other six just sort of fell into the places they're in. It's definitely a unique look to this wallpaper.

IMO, this is GusH's most romantic love scene. It didn't have to be hot-n-heavy or fast-paced. They needed to rediscover each other and reconnect on the sexual level. Gus and Harley made the romance and brought pure adoring magic to our eyes.

On The Run...In New York City


This one showcases Gus & Harley's little adventure in New York City. In 2005 they had a montage of walking around the city searching for a specific building. Sounds like a difficult task, right? They eventually found the Brooklyn Bridge and a hotel, where an important person was staying. In the montage the song "New York" by Smith Point played, and there were a lot of different places within the city where Gus and Harley went. So, I figured I had to do a wallpaper because it was a cool location shoot.

I wanted this wallpaper to be busy because New York City is quite a busy, bustling place. Therefore, it has a number of pictures and text and circles. A lot if going on. I thought some pics of the city would be appropriate, so they're in the four corners. The green text is from the song mentioned earlier. The GusH pics are in chronological order, the first row then the second. And the pink circles & ovals...that was a little experimentation. I thought plain colored circles would look good and fill some space. The faded 'NYC' text is just filler; I get picky about too much space sometimes. I don't know why I chose pink for the main color theme; I think I chose it because their ice cream truck was pink (as you can see in the top right corner).

Speaking of which...what ever happened to that ice cream truck? They left it parked there, found the soap opera set to hide in, and never went back to it. As far as we know, it's still parked there! Too bad they abandoned it. It was a fun place for GusH. They never starved.

Anyway...I like this wallpaper because of how hectic it is. There's plenty more than just GusH going on for once. Brilliant!

First GusH Wallpaper

For many years I had admired those people who created wallpapers; I always wished I could make brilliant ones like theirs. I eventually did, but my first ones were more experimentations than anything else. They were not brilliant in my opinion. I don't even know how long ago I made them.

But I'm still proud of them; they still count. And this is my first Gus & Harley wallpaper:


I used a couple of lovey dovey pictures to experiment with and two different tools in the previous program I used for making wallpapers. This wallpaper looks good; the pictures look good. But it's not perfect.

The sentence in the middle is my motto for Gus & Harley. I had one for another favorite couple, so I came up with one for GusH. It's cute. It's sweet. It's the truth in my eyes, at least in the world of daytime couples.

So, since this was one of my first wallpapers, I kept it pretty simple. There wasn't much to it. It's definitely not my best work, but I had to start somewhere.
