Let’s start with wallpapers. You can now exclusively download these two brand-new wallpapers from Pengwyn here on Zheano Blog. Big thanks to Pengwyn for providing the full-resolution files.
Earth wallpaper features a simple sphere with a darker background and gradient lines. The second wallpaper, Breathe features similar gradient lines filled with easy-on-the-eyes colors. Both wallpapers should work well with any setup.

Interview
For how long have you been creating wallpapers and what made you start designing?
I have been designing wallpapers for the last 6 months. But I have been doing photography, illustration and designing for the last 3 years almost. I have always been inclined towards creative stuff but earlier I didn’t create designs intended to be wallpaper. This year I discovered the android customization community on Twitter so I thought that let’s put all the skills I have learned to the test. Then I started creating wallpapers and I didn’t expect to get such a good response. All the support from the community has kept me going and will continue to create as good wallpapers as I can. Due to ongoing studies I have not been able to devote much time to designing but do hope in the future I will be able to pursue designing full time.
What’s your favorite wallpaper you ever created?
It’s hard to pick only one but one of my wallpapers that I have used the most is ” Breathe-1″ (in my app Burpy Walls). I find it pleasing to the eye and suits my style too.
Where do you find inspiration for your wallpapers?
I create wallpapers that I want to use myself, that’s the biggest inspiration for me, if I won’t use wallpaper on my device I will never publish it. Other than that I gather inspiration from all over the internet like Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, DeviantArt, etc. I save the works of other people I like and then analyze what one or two things I can learn and include in my own work. Sometimes photographs also come out to be a good source for creating new designs.
What’s your favorite design tool?
Without a doubt the mesh tool in Adobe Illustrator, you can create infinite designs with the mesh tool there is no end.
How does your smartphone setup look like?
I like my homescreen to be more functional than fancy, so on the first page, I only keep apps like Phone, Gmail, Firefox, TickTick, Playstore. Wallpaper and widgets change frequently but one thing that is consistent with the widgets I chose is that they all must show time, day, and weather in a very minimal look. Same with the wallpaper they should not be filled with a lot of designs and elements. Although my second page of the homescreen is filled with all the apps I use daily cause I am also an addict like all of us 🙂

Again a huge thanks to Pengwyn for taking the time. I’m a huge fan of his work and I can’t wait for what else will he design in the future. Pengwyn, I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
