Kobold King Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I searched around a bit, but I couldn't find any other topics for showing off awesome desktop backgrounds. So I made this. For a while I used the amazing Shallan endpapers from Words of Radiance. But more recently I switched to a fantastic piece by MicrocosmicEcology on DeviantArt. It's called "The Ovi Return," and it depicts the artist's conception of a fictional species of sapient dinosaur. The picture is beautiful, illustrating a perfectly designed Oviraptor-like dinosaur holding a spear, standing over a majestic and exotic desert environment. The image fits my interests and my artistic preferences in ways I can't gush over enough. How 'bout you guys? Anyone else have superb desktop images you completely adore? Feel like sharing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipper Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) This. I'm a huge fan of nebulae and space pictures, even if they aren't real. Edited January 22, 2015 by inexorablePanda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestis the Spider Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) I've got this. I'm a huge, huge Assassin's Creed fan (and not having enough money to get PS4 to play AC;Unity is really painful for me), and I always have some AC concept art on my desktop. I have the whole bunch of them, and I just change them from time to time. ;D Edited January 22, 2015 by Pestis the Spider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbird Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I have this, the new artwork for reunion is just great, and it kind of foreshadows conquest with the map on the table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamma Fiend Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I've usually always done random Space or Science pictures, either awesome looking cosmological structures, or otherwise cool looking stuff of that theme. ....that being said, I've had the cover art for WoR as my desktop ever since the final version for the book was revealed.... (so like 2-3+ months before it came out...) XD I've been currently contemplating what I would want as a new one. (Probably going to go space-theme again) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Slowswift Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Until I saw this thread, I had some Doctor Who-themed backgrounds I found somewhere on the interwebs. But I just changed it to WoR art, because it's awesome and why not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkum Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 For several years (and across at least 3 computers now), I have been using a picture of the Cliffs of Moher that someone in my family took on our trip to Ireland (camera got passed around a bit, so unsure who took it) I don't feel like trying to upload it somewhere, but it is basically This though a bit worse quality 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claincy Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 My background is actually a slide show of game images. When I spend a lot of time in a game, or really like it, etc, I often put an image of the game into the slideshow. I try to pick a screenshot that makes me want to play the game. It can be useful for trying to pick a game to play on occasion. Ok, there is one image that isn't from a game: Cos, you know, Elsa. Anything that elicits that strong an emotional response from me deserves it's own spot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Deleted- Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 The one on my tablet is The Bride from Kill Bill in a dress with the katana (it says its from the soundtrack album), but my laptop wallpaper is Furiosa and Max against the most amazing blue you've ever seen. I love the Mad Max movies and can't wait to see Fury Road. It looks amazing. However, I can't seem to figure out how to attach photos on here.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Just changed my desktop to this one: Had to move/delete some icons, but considering they were all pictures I'd saved to my desktop instead of my Pictures folder, it needed to be done anyway. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkum Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 my old computer dies, and the default windows 8 background (havent been able to upgrade to 10 yet) for me was "String Lake - Grand Tetons" which is pretty good, so I have stuck with that.
