    NP. That desktop is so kick ***, everyone should benefit. :)

    Tech, I hope you don't mind me resizing and re-posting your work. I figured I'd save you some time. If you do, then I will gladly remove the link. :)

    No the resize is fine with me :) I've been asleep for 10 hours. I actually would have done the exact same thing (alien skin blow-up). so thanks :)
    I'm glad you guy like it. I'll probably make some more at some point :)

    ****!!! looks great buddy!!!

    Another cool one I think might be cool for those who like dark "plain" backgrounds is just the carbon fiber with maybe the FX in the top corner or something? all just ideas!!!

    you got some talent man!

    I got bored at work so I whipped out photoshop on the laptop...the FX of course. and made myself a desktop. I created the carbon fiber pattern at 16 x 16 and then applied it to my image. these are all defaults in photoshop so real basic in my opinion....so without further waiting!

    I don't do this for a living. It's just a hobby of mine :) For a living, I'm now a biology/premed student.
