Show Us Your Desktops Options

[Rane]

Thanks for the info Rane & especially for the links. I also love *claps again wildly* the terregan artwork that you've posted in the FanArt forums.

I think you're mixing me up with someone else. I'm quite sure that I have never created any art (with or without a computer program) that I would have posted online. So, you must me thinking of someone other than me.

[Ibis]

Yup, I got mixed up. Sorry about that ... it is The Wolf who has done beautiful landscape creations with Terragen. Here below is one of them:

Well, this is my current desktop, but as when i take a screenshot of the actual desktop it's an ungodly 2.8 or so mb in .jpg form for some reason, i can't host it. So just imagine some icons and whatnot

Woah, that's crazy cool....

Here's mine

Though, I'll have to post another one later, I alternate between two comps (long story), that's of the crappier one I sit at now - the one with (of course) Morrowind, but not Oblivion (I haven't tried, but since Morrowind can strain this at times, I know Oblivion would pwn it... ).

'Tis from a upcoming movie (which, really, has yet to go into production, but is already awesome... )

And now for the other one:

Aki's other background

And for the record, some of that stuff isn't mine, this used to be my mother's comp and I have yet to clean the crap she left on it out...

[Ibis]

Both are very cool Aki. I see you use Norton System Works, my hubby has that. And the Download Accelerator program - is that good? About all I download is mods for Morrowind and Oblivion and most are small so I guess I don't need to accelerate .. but it might help when I download updates for MMORPG's, hmmm? Or not?

[Ibis]

Looks like another double post but is not .... they are months apart.

This is my present desktop wallpaper
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g144/Athane/TG2.jpg
It is from the new MMORPG coming out in Fall of 2006 called The Guild 2. It is a medieval re-enactment role playing game. Looks very authentic. Has real towns like Nottingham Village. I think I'm going to like it. I'll have to see what the quests and fighting rules are though.

Ibis waiting for Fall ....

Beautiful Abu! You are an Oblivion purist. And Aki I like both of your desktop arts ... but the one with the eagle's claw really r0x0rz bigtime...(I'm guessing it's an eagle from the eye)

I will post mine one more time with complimentary colors since I gave up the purple background. This will be the last of it because after I format soon, I will use something totally different for wallpaper.

Clicky

[Rane]

Figured it was time for a change.

A bit darker.

If only I'd knew the source/artist.

My computer just got reinstalled so I don't have Oblivion reinstalled yet... so don't kill me when it isn't on ther..

This is my latest desktop wallpaper - for the last few days while I am gathering up files to save before my upcoming reformat. I am reformatting in order to reuse my trial .dds converter programs for modding for Oblivion.

I combined a pic of my previous wallpaper, a screenshot from the 'this fall release' soon to be game, The Guild 2; and the very beginning screens of my screensaver starting over it transparently. The screensaver is called 1MoonAbove.

I like this image and will install it for later as wallpaper ... but my real plans for my permanent new wallpaper after the reformat will be Milanius's Avenger Axe screenshot.

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g144/Ath...erWallpaper.jpg

It will probably have different desktop icons since I am experimenting with different .dds programs for Oblivion modding. I will probably enlarge the Avenger screenshot to fill the whole screen. Here is the wallpaper I am using right now that is from a Morrowind mod that I am making for Black Hand:

PS - Cain bought 'The Guild', the prequel to 'The Guild 2' yesterday and it's pretty hot. He stayed up all night until 6am anyways playing it. It is realistic medieval society in which you build a strong family dynasty over several 100 years. Very cool!

[minque]

Ahhh wonderful desktops.....I must admit I haven´t decided yet what I´ll have on this new comp...but when I do I´ll show you!

[Soulseeker3.0]

I almost forgot this one, it is my comp tech wall. Scott Ramsoomair from VGcats.com did it and I added my own touch to it via invertion of the colors.

Gaara

and here is the Normal one

I think the Inverted one is cooler, almost evil. Expecially the eyes

[Ibis]

Yes, it came out marvellously malevolent looking ... I love pics that look good either way. In their normal and negative states. There should be a word for that. I bet there is in Eskimo.

[The Metal Mallet]

Heck ya! VGcats rock! I used to have Pantsman as my avatar

Your rendition of that background is really nice looking, blue and blacks go nicely together.

[Ibis]

Well, since this thread is open and I will be changing my computer array completely soon, I am experimenting with different wallpapers. I usually keep one for a long time ... but here is a new favorite...

And another:

Seems like a good place on Mr. Mojo-rising's post to put this educational psychological illustration = the world looks kinda like this when you're MANIC:

[minque]

Aaaayyyyyy....the doors! yay Ibis....you´re a child of my time! great desktops. Nope I´ve still not decided what to use...it´s hard....

[1234king]

I can't show you my desktop because i don't know how to make a link with a pic of it, but anyways mine is the best out of all of yours (no offense). I am currently using the Foo Fighters album In Your Honor as my desktop.




FOO FIGHTERS KICK boat

[Ibis]

king, to make a picture link ... take a screenshot, edit it in Paint program to look the size and way you want it to. Then go to www.photobucket.com and register for a free account. I think they do email confirmation startup. Then just browse for your foofighters desktop pic (you should actually make it a .jpg in a photo editor program, I think) and then ... copy/paste the link here this way:

[ i_m_g ] foofighters.jpg [/img] ...but without underscores or spaces... those parenthesis are the ones above the '" key & the ENTER key

Or you can send it to me at athane_khagan@yahoo.com and I will display it for you like I did for Mazelure's pic in REal Photos. Please put your name 1234king in the subject line if you do send it.
