Description My current desktop. It's not perfect but I got tired of messing about with it to make it line up perfectly, so there ya go. There is no Photoshop trickery in this (well, I probably don't have to say that; you can see it). I've seen the effect done much better, and maybe next time I have a go at it I'll succeed (you'll note that I forgot and used the flash the first time 'round).

Critique discouraged because, well, it's a silly fun thing and not something to take seriously.

HAHA! What a fun idea. I've never seen something like this before. It's cute. I bet that if someone wanted to really get it to look perfect, it would take hours and hours and hours... o.o to get it to look Juuuuuuusssst right. XD

But you still did a great job of it, yes! I love the idea! Haha. <333

You get so many comments on stuff *fails at concealing jealousy* People should come and look at my stuff! Actually they probably would if I updated more than once a year and didn't put up random junk *grin*

Have I mentioned recently that I want your bookcases? I wouldn't mind the books either, or your computer screen, possibly the camera... What about the skeleton? I need a skeleton just as much as anyone else!

The hardest part is constantly fiddling with the desktop image to get it to be the right size. I didn't quite get it, and I didn't get quite the right positioning - this is where a tripod would have come in handy - but ti's good enough for government work.

Yeah, you can see where it gets a bit funky and off, but it still looks hella cool. XD I can imagine that a tripod would be helpful. I'm impressed you did that just by hand.
