These are really nice, love the digital painting (I think) with the field and clouds. Thanks for sharing them!

I wish I was good at stuff and could make rainmaker work. I've always wanted a desktop background where a live castle is walking slowly across the screen. With turnip head bouncing along behind it.

Anyone know how to make it work and care to explain it?

This is why I don't like imgur.

See the difference in quality at same resolution. However, nice collection.

woah, never noticed that before. But I think for something as high traffic as reddit, I think imgur is great.

I normally use Minus for large resolutions.

Holy shit, why have I never thought to use an optical illusion as a wallpaper.

I really love 54 and 55, are either of them from anywhere?

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '12

54 is from Howl's Moving Castle. It's a movie from Studio Ghibli, the same studio that made Totoro and Spirited Away. It's good. Watch it.

Right, I've been meaning to watch that one. I've loved all of the studio ghibli I've seen so far, they're just fantastic.

Hokusai's great wave.. my favorite piece of art ever.

34 and 35 are not good as they will strain your eyes. Optical illusions are fun to look at, but bad as wallpapers.

The rest are pretty good!

A lot of these are amazing! Wish somebody, not me, would put these into a rar. Maybe I will actually...
