The art is by KaceyM at deviantart. He's one of my favorite artists.  :D

Here's my current desktop on my old laptop. It was drawn by NateMoody on deviantART. Wish I had more Redwall-themed desktop pics like this one.  :-\

I have a new laptop now too, but it's just got one of the default desktops at the moment that really isn't much to look at, so I won't post it for now.

I eliminated my ban on video game screenshots for desktops (well, provided they don't have hud elements), and am now using a screenshot of my minecraft world at night.

I finally found something to change it to - though it took forever to cut the picture to the right size.
It's not my favourite desktop ever but it's better than what I had (game screenshots).

That wallpaper of yours kinda makes me think of a book that I used to read when I was in Middleschool called MossFlower.

Anyways, as I said about my rotating wallpaper on my laptop at DBB.net:
I decided to make my laptop wallpapers change automatically, here are some samples:

first (Entire Team is Kirby!)-


Second (Sap this, Spy!)-


Third (an awesome Transformers: War For Cybertron wallpaper)-


Fourth (an old wallpaper that I used for years)-


Fifth (Lilformers)-


and finally, this one with the Timberwolf (or Madcat to you InnerSphere Surats!)-


(the first and second Wallpapers (that I found) can be found here-
http://wall.alphacoders.com/index.php?s=Video%20Game&su=Team%20Fortress%202)

I used this nifty freeware utility called "Any Wallpaper", to randomize my wallpaper automatically

(P.S. Can we get this thread stickified, please?)

I've changed my desktop, and turned it into a hangar... with a F-22 "Raptor"!

This would be because Mossflower is part of the Redwall series, and are thus interconnected. :)

These are my January, February and March desktops. I've only got up til March created, but the ingredients to create them all. Each 32x32 piece of graphics I cut from gamemaps.com (I think that's the website). I have always wanted a Mario world for each month so I'm making my own. If I'm not editing Descent music or doing math homework, I'm doing this.

This is a list of all the worlds corresponding to each month as follows along with the boss associated with each world, AND the song associate with each map in parenthesis:

1 Cold Frontier - Lemmy Koopa (SMB3 World 6)
2 Cupid Cloud - Wendy Koopa (SMB3 World 5 Upper Level)
3 Clover Field - Larry Koopa (SMB3 World 1)
4 Dreamy Woods - Iggy Koopa (SMW World 5)
5 Crawdad Bayou - Ludwig Von Koopa (SMB3 World 7)
6 Palm Cove - Roy Koopa (SMB3 World 3)
7 The Moon - Tatanga, final boss on Super Mario Land, and area boss to the Space Zone on Super Mario Land 2 on Gameboy (SMW Star World)
8 Camel Sandhills - Morton Koopa (SMB3 World 2)
9 Wheat Fields - Kamek (SMW World 3)
10 Dreary Woods - Big Boo (SMB3 World 8)
11 Autumn Vista - Bowser Jr., from SMW2 (SMB3 World 5 Lower Level)
12 The North Pole - Bowser/The Grinch (SMB3 World 4)

Fun stuff!
I like to think I have a Descent taste of music.

:O pretty cool wallpapers Alieo.
You would be an excellent map maker for some mario 3 hack/mod.

Thanks, Pumo! Unfortunately, I don't know anything about hacking or modding, but if there was just a way to simply drag and drop tiles where I want, the sky would be the limit!

NOTE: on #10, that reference should be to SMB3 World 8... not world sunglasses... unless you wear your sunglasses at night in Dark Land! lol
