Freebie: Desktop Background
I did this in Photoshop at about 7:15 AM this Saturday. My wife loves it, and she suggested I put it up on the site for everyone to download and use as they see fit.
This is currently the desktop background on my Mac, and as such it’s sized appropriately (1680×1050). If you want to use it for your desktop, it should be fine, even if your screen is smaller. Just click the thumbnail above, then when the full-size image loads, right-click it and select ‘Set as Desktop Background’. From there, you should be able to ‘center’ the image, and click OK. That ought to do it!
This image was made from a freebie photo I found at Stock Exchange, and I put the fake sun and sunbeams in using a tutorial I came across at PSDTuts, along with some resources they link to.
Hope you folks enjoy!

Cool Pic. It looks like a Final Fantasy elemental. And I should know, I’ve had to fight plenty of those over the years.

I may lose all my geek cred for this, but I actually never played Final Fantasy. At all. Not even once.
I have seen you play it quite a bit though, Guinn, and from what I’ve seen the art is pretty sweet, so I’ll take that as a compliment. Thanks, man!

You have a MAC??? I thought you hated macs. Ha.
And it’s a gorgeous pic, though I can’t yet part with the desktop pic on MY mac, but if I ever do, that one’s surely a contestant. Purty.

Ha, yes Faith, I have a Mac.
I thought I had told you? I think OS X is quite liveable; it was OS 9 I believe to be utter rubbish.
And thanks for the props on the picture! Glad you like it.
