Backgrounds

Welcome to the repository for themed backgrounds!  The majority of these images are from anime related sources.  They're all JPEG files, I'm assuming that you'll determine a way to adapt the images to your particular systems.  If you have any feedback, please let me know, positive and negative feedback is the only way I know if I should continue making these things!

In other words, please feel free to burst my ego!

VValentine-2.jpg
Resolution : 800x600
Theme : Vincent Valentine (Final Fantasy VII)

This faded version of the Vincent Valentine image was per Elfman Entertainment's specifications for the image.  This image was to be used as a web page background, so it needed to be washed out a bit.

VValentine-2-Alternate.jpg
Resolution : 800x600
Theme : Vincent Valentine (Final Fantasy VII)

This was simply a slightly different method of fading out the same image.  Its a little brighter in the background, but may not be suitable for all backgrounds.

I was just playing around in Photoshop at this point..  <sheepish grin>

SerialExperimentsLain-1.jpg
Resolution : 1024x768
Theme : Serial Experiments Lain 

Background has a nice image of Lain starting at you from within the nebula background.  Lain's image from the opening sequence, Lain text scanned.  Nebula background  was created, everything manipulated in Photoshop.

SerialExperimentsLain-2.jpg
Resolution : 1024x768
Theme : Serial Experiments Lain 

Using the Nebula background, I decided to make a non-character specific background.  The Lain text was scanned, I had to recreate the computer logo.  Already had the nebula image, everything was incorporated in Photoshop.

SerialExperimentsLain-3.jpg
Resolution : 1024x768
Theme : Serial Experiments Lain 

A simple background.  Lain text was scanned, background was created from scratch.   Everything was incorporated in Photoshop.  The preview image doesn't really do this one justice either.

Macross-Ishtar-1.jpg
Resolution : 1024x768
Theme : Ishtar (Macross)

Done at request of an Ishtar fan.  It was hard to decide how to make these, since the original art was so beautiful it was difficult to make myself edit them.  Starry background created in photoshop, Ishtar image taken from an artbook.

Macross-Ishtar-2.jpg
Resolution : 1024x768
Theme : Ishtar (Macross)

I particularly like this one.  Ishtar has a very quiet, ghostly presense amongst the starry background. Starry background created in photoshop, Ishtar image taken from an artbook.

Trigun-Vash.jpg
Resolution : 1024x768
Special Resolution Available : 1600x1200
Theme : Vash the Stampede (Trigun)

Tiled Backgrounds
 
VValentine-Tiled-1.jpg
Resolution : 200x300

Same image as the large Vincent Valentine image in the full sized section.  This image was made for tiled wallpaper backgrounds.

GhostInTheShell-Tiled-1.jpg

Simple Ghost in the Shell wallpaper for tiled backgrounds.  Image taken from a color scan of Masamune Shirow's art books.

MistyMae-Tiled-1.jpg
Resolution : 200x200
Theme : Misty Mae (Otaku no Video)

Yes, its everyone's favorite mascot, Misty Mae from Otaku no Video fame.  One of the earliest tiled wallpapers I put together.  Image taken from a random scan on the internet.  This image is faded out a bit to use as a background.

MistyMae-Tiled-2.jpg
Resolution : 200x200
Theme : Misty Mae (Otaku no Video)

This one is in the nice, obnoxious colors of the original file.  Great if you like it, but hard to work with if you have to see it all the time.  Then again, if you're a big Misty Mae fan..

BubbleGumCrisis-Tiled-1.jpg
Resolution : 300x300
Theme : Nene (Bubble Gum Crisis)

The cute member of the Knight Sabers, Nene was an ideal little cute wallpaper to make.  Also a very early one, image taken from a random scan on the internet.  (As it existed at the time!)
