Ten minutes? Takes a bit more than ten minutes to do a decent job. Not to say it's not easy, because to some it may be. But Considering I posted it on reddit because I loved how it turned out, I don't think it matters "how easy" it is.
Yup. It's funny when this stuff gets popular on Reddit/Imgur because people don't know how easy it is to make -- not to say I didn't make the same kind of stuff all the time in high school.
There are 3 brushes (or 2), rendered akali art and red/pink layer with setup called "cover" or sth like that. I am not sure about the name of the setup because I use programs with Polish language.
I used to make this kind of wallpapers when I discovered planetrenders and gimp tutorials. It is nice wallpaper but it doesn't deserve the 1st page or even 10th on reddit.
