CobaltSS.net Wallpaper

Im putting a challenge out there for all of you photoshopping wizards to create some type of cobaltss.net wallpaper.

The reward?
Satisfaction in knowing that hundreds of Cobalts Lovers are using your wallpaper nationwide. haha

Ive seen some really creative stuff photoshopped before, just wondering if anyone has anything in the works.

why would a "guru" be using 1280x1024
1600x1200 here. accept no substitutes!

When I design wallpapers (which these days is a rare thing...) I always go with 1600x1200
(there are several good reasons for this, short answer is if you design a wallpaper for 1280x1024 then you are designing it to look correct on less than 15% of internet users screens, while 1600x1200 is proportionally compatible with more than 80% of internet users screen settings so the image wont end up being cropped or squished. {percentages based on July 2005 estimates})


If I find the time I will make something... Currently all I had done was a super quick one using MarcS's great photo of his car (I believe there is another thread on here with people's desktop snapshots.. and mine is visible there).
EDIT: found the thread= https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...0&page=2&pp=20

sheesh, you think you are a know it all. most people use 1024x768. most 19" monitors support 1280x1024. im running 1280x1024 and frankly, i dont care how compatible it is.

my photoshop skills = http://brianfoster.org/ click the image. my gallery can give you an idea how well i can make a wallpaper.

Perhaps someone could do a collage of people's cars from the photo gallery.... that'd be pretty sweet.
