my wallpaper cycles every 10 seconds to keep me from being bored

What, do you stare at your desktop all the time?

no, but this way i don't feel like changing it every time i do see it.

Ah, see, that's where the art of picking the right background comes in.

I have Windows 7, so I have like 30 or so pictures for my background, that rotate every 20 minutes.

But some of my favorites are:

Spoiler

Because of all the half-naked chicks?

I obviously picked them because of the selection of nice colors and the contrasts they create.

Spoiler

The second Flandre Scarlet one I edited from Bad Apple.

This is gonna sound kind of strange...but would you be willing to do something like that for me...but with Remilia?

snip

I could probably do something like that for Remilia; it's winter break so I have plenty of free time. Do you have any particular picture in mind? There are two shots in Bad Apple that I could use, but any picture with a well-defined border between character and background would work. Also, what's your resolution?

snip

EDIT: you know what? stick with bad apple; I dont think i would use the same the picture if it was based off of one of these wallpapaers

This is what I have so far:

Spoiler

I was thinking of tweaking the flames some to fill the image more before calling it done, though.

 

[Moonpig123]

A picture of me and one of my friends reflected in the lens of some sunglasses, from Download festival this year. It's actually really cool, there's a bit of sun flare too which slightly obscures the joint my friend is holding. Makes it more 'viewer-friendly', I guess.

 

[Moonpig123]

It's a picture of a Lobster eating a man at a fancy restaurant.

He has a top hat and a monocle.

That sounds awesome! I demand pictures!

Well it was this not so long ago:

Spoiler

Because Garrus is awesome.

But I changed it to this now that I'm really into DEFCON.

Spoiler

Then a picture you shall get good sir.
I found it on reddit one day after a guy made a 'I draw things by request' thread. He got a request for a lobster eating a man, so that is what he gave.

I had to give it the colour using selection and colour balance tools in photoshop.

That's awesome.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

My desktop is just cyan blue.

I don't like fancy desktops for some reason. They make my eyes hurt. In some cases, icons are obscured and figuring out where my pointer is can be a pain.

 

[The Shade]

This be mine at the moment:

Still scares the crap out of me every time I scroll to my desktop.

This is currently what I have. I liked the idea of Helghast-ish evil Russians.

Trimmed off the extra black on the top, leaves me plenty of room for icons in the black bits without obscuring either them or the image.

 

[ReservoirAngel]

I'm banned from changing it on this PC, but my personal laptop has a picture of...well let's just say it's someone I find VERY interesting to be greeted by every day. *shifty eyes*

 

[Lerxst]

A close-up picture of my African Grey at the moment. It gets rotated with pictures of my other birds as well.

 

[ZtH]

My Desktop PC has two different backgrounds one for each OS. My windows partition shows one of the final frames from Neil Gaiman's Sandman "The soft beating of her wings" is the name of the chaper I believe along with the quote "We do what we do because of who we are, if we did not we would not be ourselves". My Ubuntu background consists of a stylized battle pose of Maka Albarn from Soul Eater with additional color effects added.

On my Xubuntu netbook is the standard windows hilltop in front of blue sky background, except that it has Osaka from Azumanga Diaoh resting her head on the hill.

I was actually thinking of changing mine soon though so I'll probably be perusing this thread for interesting ideas.

[Jamie Doerschuck]

Mine changes every 15 minutes, I have a massive folder full of 'em. I want more xD

Probably my best favourite one is my Rena Ryuugu one:

It's that, but upscaled to my native reso.

Do you have a Mac or a PC?

Also, my desktop is Soundwave from War for Cybertron.
