    Talking [WALLPAPER] Hot, Sticky Plastic...

    At some point tonight, I just decided to start experimenting with GIMP's "Flame" render generator... I wanted to see if I could make the flame more 3D, or more substantial.

    After much experimenting, I finally solidified a method and produced this wallpaper. I'm thinking I may release this as a pack, with different sizes and colours.

    Anyway, let me know what you think.

    Neat. A little dark for my personal taste, but certainly an interesting effect.

    I like it! I can't use it with my current setup, though, as I would need something a little more blue. It looks fantastic though!

    White background with blue flames(?) in 2880x900 and that'd be glorious. Not enough dual monitor wallpapers out there.

    Well, I'm eventually going to release a pack of wallpapers, using this one as the original, in a variety of colours and sizes.

    Is there any way I could convince you to give a vague way on how you did that too?

    Tell you what, when I compile the wallpaper pack, with various colours and sizes, I'll stick a little jpeg tutorial in there as well... how's that?
