I'm having a yen to get some new wallpaper on my PC so I thought I'd ask you, what do you have on yours at the moment?

Here's mine


From this thread on cgsociety.org.

And here's a few places where I go for wallpaper
PA Wallpaper Dump
Interfacelift.com

Remember to scale your images down so they don't break the board if you're posting them.

I vary my desktop, but I often use some of the My Pet Skeleton pics:

http://www.mypetskeleton.com/

Also the Serenity movie poster wallpaper, and several of the official Sky Captain wallpapers, sometimes get a look in.

I like this Lab4 one:



But my two favourites are the fighting squid and the cat:





The above 2 were both just found by surfing the web -- the first on some bloke's scuba page & the second on the Deviantart page of someone called M0rt.

Oh yeah -- almost forgot -- predictably right now my desktop pic is a Conan-themed bosomy blonde, from here:

Here are a few of the ones in my wallpaper library. All my own work in various 3D and graphics packages (it's a hoby of mine).
























I have these (and about 70 more) set up in an automatic changer, so I get a different one each time I start the computer.

And the first one isn't a photo, it's CG, 'cause everyone asks where it's a photo of

Yeah, they're really cool. I like the second one especially -- the tower amid the wasteland. It has a mythic, archetypal vibe that is very appealing.

Mr Fortune, I declare this link to be the most interesting and useful that I have seen for the past two months.

I would place the sailing directions for Rule 7 as something like:

Set sail 4 days into the Ocean of Subculture from WoW, (making sure to give the isle of Slash a wide berth) , then 6 days to focus on real life through the shoals of P2P and a further 2 days towards the lands of intellectuals and tharr shall ye find Ruel 7, somwhar betwixt Deviant ARt and ye bay of Trolls.

and I enjoy the comic so hence some of these.

There is only overconfidence and terror.
