A simple wallpaper that I created using Gimp.
Feel free to use it on your desktop :beer

Good work! I like wallpaper texture, so I think I'll order a t-shirt. Thanks for sharing it :beergrin
 
Yes. You can. Use Layers and Alpha to Logo -> Alien glow effect :D
Ps. I have no idea how to use photoshop. The only tool that I use is Gimp that after 1,5 year I start understand a little how it works
 
Is there any chance of a transparent picture featuring just the daemon itself? I'd like to paste it onto the SGI background I'm currently using.
 
I finally made the daemon with transparent background.
Please PM me to send the file. Everywhere I tried to upload the png is converted to jpg and loses transparency.

Kudos. Trying to make an existing image transparent often results in ragged edges, but this looks real nice.

When I'm done tinkering with my x11-wm/fvwm2 setup I'll post an actual screenshot in the appropriate thread, but here's the background (converted to JPG) I'm currently using on my netbook (hence the rather modest size).

Edit: I know the edges of the SGI cube look rather ragged, but I couldn't find anything better than this.

This I made it when I was completely bored. Is not so good but I post it. Nothing to lose.

@fonz has artistic vein like Vincent Willem van Gogh, no doubts :e

Gimp has a filter in tribute to best artist of neo-impressionism, called van-gogh-lic. See source here.
“LIC” stands for Line Integral Convolution, a mathematical method. The plug-in author uses mathematical terms to name his options... This filter is used to apply a directional blur to an image, or to create textures. It could be called “Astigmatism” as it blurs certain directions in the image.

It uses a blur map. Unlike other maps, this filter doesn't use grey levels of this blur map. Filter takes in account only gradient direction(s). Image pixels corresponding to solid areas of the map are ignored.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I'm a worthless artist. The background I posted will look familiar to those who have used SGI machines of the '90s (the Indy, more specifically) and is more about nostalgia than anything else, which is why it probably won't look particularly spectacular to anyone who has never used any of the old SGI stuff. Moreover, the worst money I ever spent was on my guitar and amp: as much as I love rock music it turns out that I myself can't play worth sh** - there goes another dream up in smoke ;)

The Beastie with no background... I have been looking for one for ages ;)

Where did you find it? Did someone with artistic talent need to manually cut around the edges or something?

When you get time, please share it with me since I don't really like FreeBSD's official logo and have always been jealous of the OpenBSD artwork lol.

Also, sk8harddiefast would it be possible to get a copy of the "I Am The Daemon Inside You" but without the lens flair? :)

All the wallpapers on this thread are pretty great.
