Haven't seen one for a while.

I'll start a new one with this truly beautiful picture of Akari :beatingheart: from Aria that I'm using.
http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r214/98abaile/Akarimature.png

I'd like to know where it came from, & where I can buy a wallscroll or poster or pinup of it.

I have a wallpaper up, but no link to it right now. Also it isn't anime at all anyway. On a side note with a new wide screen monitor it kind of changes the way I recrop images for quick wallpapers. It also means many of those 1280x1024 walls are kind of useless now.

Sorry I forgot to answer, but the Aria picture should be a screen shot from "Origination" and I won't say anymore than that to be on the safe side. Or if you want to know more. It's from the last episode and one of those sometime later scenes

Here's the one I'm using: http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z298/zerokiryu/1210420277645bv6.jpg

It's from a web RPG. The character designs are done by TYPE-MOON.

I'm using this wallpaper for 5 months or so. Kanon (http://www.moyism.com/blog/images/kanondvd011920x1200.jpg)
The wallpaper I used before was Air (http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h270/computerwizdude/AirWallpaper-1.jpg)

All right finally got it uploaded. Probably won't keep it up forever, but yeah it's a Touhou Wall (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/HolyAjora/touhouwall.jpg) involving Erin Yagokoro, Kaguya Houraisan, Reisen Udongein Inaba, and Tewi Inaba. Also note I've gone from 1280x1024 to 1440X900.

Aria is one reason I want a bigger screen, along with Blu Ray & DVD re-masters. Seeing anime & real women bigger makes the cost easier to justify. :cool:

Akari is my favourite pink-hair, move over Utena. ;)

This (http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee273/kchan_album/WALLPAPERS/miyakochan.jpg?t=1214853631) is my current wallpaper, though I switch them around occasionally. But the one I'm using now is of Miyako from Ghost Hound. Sorry it's not Key or Touhou. :P

*Looks* Wow she's wearing a miko outfit, you're forgiven then.:) Actually truth be told there are times the wallpaper I'll have up is neither Key or Touhou. So I really can't complain anyway. Other wise I'd have to punish myself and I'm afraid of me.

Mine is ef right now. Has been for a long time actually. Before that was a run of Touhou wallpapers though.

My problem is finding a wallpaper that is a large enough resolution and right aspect ratio to fit spanning across two 1680x1050 monitors with minimal warping/cropping. It also needs to be relatively dark (I don't like bright wallpapers since my lights are always off) and the composition of the image needs to be such that the 'split' between the two monitors doesn't wind up chopping someone's face in half or looking otherwise awkward.

There just ain't a lot that fits that description, so I switch rarely.

For someone like me, who only recently upgraded to Widescreen that just feels like overkill. Then again I'm sure someone here is probably using four monitors or more.

Well it is a bit bright, but I use this Lucky Star (http://personal.stevens.edu/%7Ejyao/7453x2432_146974.jpg) wallpaper, which is 7453x2432. I use DisplayFusion Pro to display the wallpaper without having to crop manually. It spans my laptop (1680x1050) and a LCD monitor (1280x1024). When I disconnect my laptop from the monitor, the wallpaper is set to keep it on Konata and Kagami.

I like to use a bunch of the stuff I stick on my website but I'll search around for something I don't have or haven't scanned and doctored like this one from Clannad

http://i26.tinypic.com/1zydjjl.jpg


I just wish I remember where I found it in the first place . .. I know it was from either a Google or a Live Search.

I seems to work on a 1280x1024 centered. I haven't tried it on either size widescreen 1680x1050 or 1920x1080


I do like to place some of my older 1280x1024 wallpapers centered on my 1680x1050 monitors you get a nice border effect . . . if you pick the right background color.

I do the same thing and I'll even just take a pic and center it, but, like you said, you need to pick the right background color. The background pic I'm using now I found of Hatsune Miku from Caffein's (http://caffeinism.xxxxxxxx.jp/index.htm) site.

That is, until I saw this picture (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/marsh-/Desktop/hina-chan.jpg) of Hinagiku. <3

You're very welcome. Nice to see other fans of Lafiel out there.

I think I picked that up over at Abh Nation, but I can't be 100% sure. I remember there was a "pic of the day" thread and I managed to pick up a ton of pics of Lafiel as well as a few other characters.

Though I switch 'em often, this is one of my favorite wallpapers because it's so gorgeous.

I finally finished Spice and Wolf last night so I changed my wallpaper today to this. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/sailor_moon/blog/AnimePaperwallpapers_Spice-And-Wolf.jpg) (It appears that it's too big a file for photobucket so it got shrunk :sd:)

Before I changed it I had an awesome Moyashimon (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/sailor_moon/blog/AnimePaperwallpapers_Moyashimon-Tal.jpg) one, and before that was Dennou Coil. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/sailor_moon/blog/dennou-coil-466-wide1200.jpg)

I'm currently using Miku Hatsune (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v701/RayeKinezono/Miku-TiffyWall01.jpg) as my desktop, although she's been slightly altered. Nothing major, though. Still, it stretches well to fit a 1680x1050 screen without any noticeable distortion.
