Cleaning up my desktop, I thought about a new wallpaper. Then this came to my mind:



It is some sketch in which I tried to stay as close to the site's style as possible. I don't have the right font for the bottom line, however. And some finishing is also needed.

But I think it's a nice idea to have some wallpaper connected to our lovely site. Perhaps we could even have a wallpaper contest in which the winning picture gains some "official" status. But I don't know if that's possible...

If anyone has ideas or suggestions how to improve this wallpaper, I would appreciate them. Some more content would also be good, as the background looks a little empty, but I'm not sure what to place there.

Well, there are lots of "artists" on abandonia, let them modify the wallpaper.
Sadly I'm not one of them...

Well... maybe some screenshots of the most popular games (or personal favorites) could be added?
I know this isn't the best example, but you'll get the idea.

I think it's a good looking wallpaper, and maybe the addition of game screens wouldn't be a bad idea either.

What if the screenshots were in two lines, one top one bottom of the wallpaper, and the main red symbol that you have in the centre of the wallpaper was put in the background of the image? Like transparent or something so that it doesn't draw the eye so much.

cool approach, bobbin! up to now, we only have a single wallpaper available
in the fan art section so it would be very nice to add new ones from time to time!

as soon as all of you are pleased with this actual work, i will put it up on the fan
art section, and another one can be started.

note: just like with the art project, try to save your works as .png, please, to
avoid a loss of image quality. the final version will be put up as .jpg, then.

I think the original version is better, if you are going to add pictures:

1) Lower their opacity so they blend in with the background
2) Put them on the right hand side so they aren't obscured by desktop icons and muck up the entire desktop.

I don't know... I like clean wallpapers, and those screens are just in the way. I think it looks nice as it is, perhaps if you fix up the font a bit it will be better. But hey, kudos k:!

Off course they should be in more places then where I put them before...
The should be on both sides of the logo too and should not be in a place where they would overlap with icons, but I just wanted to give you the idea - I didn't feel like making it yet...
Excelet work with the wallpaper Bobbin!

I agree, but I am a fan of overly simplistic wallpapers.
