I like to look but I almost never use them

@Tesh — I wish he had his older stuff up still, not merely back a couple of years. I’d post what I’ve got up at flickr and link you to it, but those pics were copyrighted when I go them, and I doubt that he’s released his copyright on them to allow sharing via flickr, ya know? Still — at home, I’ve had a Martin wallpaper for years, but at work I tend to like to use astronomy backgrounds. Here’s the one I’m currently using: http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2009/galactic/index.html

I’m an artist. I LOVE seeing what these other artists are coming up with.

Thanks for the links! (You, too, Magson; Martin’s stuff is fantastic.)

I love game wallpapers, espeically WoW ones.

HOWEVER; my favorite ones are about dragons and stuff, because then I look at my desktop in awe and generally dragon wallpappers aren’t too busy so it doesn’t make the desktop look untidy.

Normally I don’t care what game is on the wallpaper, as long as it looks nice. The white ones for Guild Wars 2 was pretty nice, so I’m currently using one of them despite never going to touch the game.

I became rather fond of the wallpapers offered by Greg Martin a few years back. For a while he stopped offering them, though. The current galleries look to have some nice stuff in them, but nothing like the folders of his stuff I’ve got saved on my hard drive right now. I periodically switch up, but mostly leave shots of “life bearing worlds” with a star behind them as my desktop wallpaper — as you say, it’s easier to find icons on the darker background.

And they’re awfully purty too

I also prefer to use wallpapers where not so much is going on, at least on the left side where my icons are.

P.S.: I can recommend this page, lots of gaming and general wallpapers: http://www.zastavki.com/eng/Space/wallpaper-11280-18.htm
