December 2009 Calendar Wallpaper - (Sharper's Office)

Shorah and Happy Holidays to all Cyan, MYST, URU fans out there. There's a different feeling that happens around this time of year and as I've looked back at the MYST series and how it has progressed through the years I reflect on ages such as Rime and Eder Delin during winter.

At present we all await the future of Cyan and still hold out that thread of hope that someday, the journey will continue. I still look forward to that day because I love this series.

Until then, I present to you the December 2009 Calendar Wallpaper image. I thought the Christmas tree in Sharper's Office was fitting and as I worked on it I thought, "Wouldn't it be fun if I decorated that tree a little more?" and that thought led to "Wouldn't it be neat to pack some fun presents under it!" Hence, there are two posted images (I know everyone wants that Squee plushy).

Additionally, I wanted to personally thank Janaba1 for taking the time to send me some excellent screen shots of Sharper's Office. The image I used was one that she sent me. Thanks Janaba!

The wallpaper dimensions are 1679x1049 and I hope you enjoy it. May you all have a wonderful Christmas.

Best Regards and Happy Holidays,
Almak

November 2009 Calendar Wallpaper - (Bevin)

Bevin, located in the Ancient city of D'ni, is the image for the November 2009 Calendar Wallpaper. Both the Kirel and Bevin "Hoods" have these beautiful gardens full of light, water, and rock pathways. They are a sight to behold.

Next month wraps up the 2009 Calendar year and I can't believe it is so close. My aim was to create a Microsoft VB application that housed multiple images of URU Ages and then let you, the user, choose which one you wanted to use for the month. That month's calendar would be "stamped" on the image, thus giving the fans the opportunity to display any image they wanted.

Time constraints and knowledge issues have been hindrances but I have not given up on the idea. More to come on that in the future.

The wallpaper dimensions are 1600x1200. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone.

October 2009 Calendar Wallpaper - (Kadish Tolesa)

The October 2009 Calendar image is of Kadish Tolesa. Although Kadish has a number of great images to choose from I really liked this one for the Fall month of October - A big moon, leaves falling from the trees, a sky that is slightly foggy with a hint of twilight - It just seemed perfect.

I hope you enjoy looking at it this month. I think it may be my favorite so far.

The wallpaper dimensions are 1600x1200. Have a great Halloween everyone.

September 2009 Calendar Wallpaper - (Gahreesen)

The September 2009 Calendar image is of the Gahreesen Age. I originally thought it was a little dark for a desktop but then upon further reflection I felt it appropriate, Gahreesen being an Age that indeed holds dark secrets.

My apologies for releasing it a day late. It was finished on time but work and other commitments crashed upon me this week and I lost track of time.

The image is 1600x1200. I hope you enjoy it.

August Poll Results

The August 2009 poll asked "If you could take home one MYSTworlds pet, which would it be?"

10% said Monkeykitty, another 10% said the Serenian Butterfly, and 80% of you picked the Squee. Who wouldn't want a Squee? :-).

August 2009 Calendar Wallpaper - (Ahnonay)

The August 2009 Calendar Wallpaper image is of the Ahnonay Age. I felt this appropriate because of the August heat. Who wouldn't want to go and take a swim in that water?

The wallpaper dimensions are 1600x1200. I hope you enjoy it.
