Best sites for wallpapers!

cb911 · Sep 3, 2003

i think just about everyone has seen edesignuk's Angelina Jolie thread with the massive pics, and that lead me to thinking about other websites with heaps of wallpapers and stuff.

here's a few of my favourites:

www.xmwallpapers.com - heaps of stuff. Anime, Games, Movies... Girls.

this site was also mentioned by someone here on MR, so i guess some credit should go to them for pointing me to it.

www.maxempire.com - Max's Empire. lots of sweet pics, girls mostly.

www.mandolux.com - Mandolux. lots of interesting pics, and also very good shots of airforce planes, F-14, etc. I think there's even a wallpaper of an X-2, or one of those concept planes. He's also got massive walls for dual screen setups. very nice.

well that's all of best wallpaper site i can think of for now.

and if anyone else knows of some good wallpaper sites, please share with the rest of us.

I recommend http://www.plasmadesign.co.uk

they have a lot of great wallpapers, the guy is a mac user

makes dual monitor wallpapers, and makes wallpaper just for the TiBook screen, the cinema displays, and the 17" iMac.

What more could you want?

It only costs 5 dollars and you get access to all of this guys awesome work.

Pm if you need "help" with it.

sweet.

i forgot to mention that Mandloux also makes wallpapers at 1152x864, but that's the res of the older TiBooks. i love sites that make the res especially for the mac.

and thanks RobVanDam, i'll have to check out those sites later when i get some time.

1152 x 864 is a 4:3 ratio that really only exists on CRT monitors, to my knowledge. the older TiBooks had resolutions of 1152 x 768. is that what you meant?

[edit]having checked the site, you're a bit off--none of those is the TiBook resolution, ever. they do have plenty of 1440 x 900 and 1920 x 1200, which is nice. but yeah. that is a great site.[/edit]

i could want it to be free. there's lots of incredible stuff on the web, absolutely free. i can't justify spending 5$ on that stuff. it's fairly common stuff.

yeah, that's what i meant. oh well he doesn't do specific resolution walls for Macs....

the Art of Greg Martin looks good, nice & big 1600x1200 walls, that's what i like to see!

PlazmaDesign does look like it's got some good walls as well. maybe i would pay $5 if i had a cinema display or something. you don't see too many 1920x1200 wallpapers out there.

cb911 · Sep 4, 2003

i just had a look at desktopgirls.com. some very good stuff in there, but it all looks like it's smaller res. but they also have some walls from other sites, so by having a look there you can find your way to other good sites.

www.geckoartist.com - some very nice photoshopped stuff, they're not quite photos, but sort of an 'ultra-real' style.

http://www.pointx.at/ - looks like they've got a heaps of a selection, but i think most, if not all of them are only 1024x768.

http://www.e-wallpapers.de - big range of walls, sport, cinema etc. they have a range of sizes from 1024x768 upto 1600x1200.

i'm having a hard time finding good quality walls, like 1600x1200. there are some out there, but i sure haven't found them yet, so if anyone can help with that...

i've also stumbled accross some more, um... 'adult' themed sites. i thought i'd better not post any of that stuff, considering different people that might be viewing the threads.

more links to come later!

One of my favourite sites for free wallpapers is http://www.digitalblasphemy.com. They have a bunch of free stuff, for those who don't wish to pay out, all at 1600x1200 (although you can select a lower resolution if you prefer).

vollspacken · Sep 4, 2003

my favorite site for wallpapers is http://www.pixelgirlpresents.com/. I also check Mandolux' site on a regular basis (I love his vector designs, hmmmmmmmm yum!!!)

Anime desktops

For japanese animation -- the best I have found is http://www.animewallpapers.com

scem0 · Sep 4, 2003

Lately I've been getting my desktops from http://www.breedart.org, but they aren't a desktop site, so you have to search for ones which are of decent size to make a desktop. I found a bunch that fit the size requirements, and a couple that made really tight desktops - here is an example

:

(my desktop for July)

My current desktop is also from breedart and can be found in the Sept. Desktop thread.

I went to mandolux and was a bit confused with the layout of everything.

He doesnt make wallpaper to display across dual monitors....he displays wallpaper for the left and wallpaper for the right, but usually there is a 3200x1200 or whatnot combination wallpaper to strecth across 2 screens.

How do i download something from mandolux, to display across 2 monitors.

This is for windows....

http://www.deviantart.com

This site has the most content out of any site that I've seen so far.

What about MacDesktops I've used them for years, and they have some awesome desktops.

I've used a few from Ed Allen Design .

cb911 · Sep 4, 2003

http://www.mota.ru/ - they seem to have a good range, but they all look like 1024x768

http://www.missoswallpapers.com/ - looke like an OK site, but again, i think they are all 1024x768.

Backtothemac · Sep 4, 2003

http://www.desktopia.com

That site has everything, and in many sizes.

cb911 · Sep 4, 2003

desktopia looks good.

here's an interesting site: danyboy.com. there's only 8 wallpapers here that i could find, but they're all good, available in sizes up to 1280x1024. i thought the site intro was good as well.

http://www.gameswallpapers.com/ - looks like an OK selection of game wallpapers. i used to go to gamewallpapers.com, but now you've got to pay $10 to get any of the good walls.

http://www.abstractanime.com/ - anime wallpapers. they've only got about 10, but they're all available in resolution up to 1600x1200.

http://desktopanime.tripod.com/ - some more anime walls.

http://clearlypixelated.com/ - looks like a good site. abstract walls, as well as anime.

enjoy, i'll keep looking.

cb911 · Sep 6, 2003

here's a few more decent sites:

http://www.animebgx.net/ - a good looking site, with some good anime wallpapers.

http://desktopzero.net/ - looks like anther good site. 3D, games and anime mostly.

http://roznovsky.net/ - kind of a funy looking site. he's got a seperate wallpaper site at http://roznovsky.net/wallpaper/.

more to come later.

and people, keep the thread alive! post up all your good wallpaper links!

Hmmmm....I love Max's World/Empire (also has the url maxworld.co.yu). He's had a great update to the wallpapers section since I last visited

cb911 · Sep 6, 2003

hey, edesignuk. do you know of any other sites like Max's?

cb911 · Sep 12, 2003

hey, i just found another site, kinda like Max's.

the same in just about everyway, except it's for all the D.I.Y. wallpaper makers.

http://babes.flabber.nl kinda funny to have those sorts of pics at a URL like 'flabber.nl'

and another one: http://topgirls.nm.ru/. they've got some *particularly* good walls, but i don't know if you can get the full res pics, they all look like 800x600. and i can't read russian, so that doesn't help any.

cb911 · Sep 12, 2003

oops, i only meant to *edit* my post... not quote it.

http://headphet.hopto.org/index.shtml - Headphone wallpapers... some Okay walls. if you're into that sort of thing.
