Hey, I created a (pretty cool imo) desktop for you to use. I didn't actually do it; I used official Team17 graphics. Anyway here it is. (http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/193/7/d/WR_Desktop_by_Thurbo.png) Enjoy ;)

Would it be possible to get it in a 4:3 resolution?

Additionally you can just choose the option "centred" in your desktop menu and it will be 3:4 automatically. At least if you use Windows.

Very nice job Thurbo. Looks like you and I may have to talk about map design for future mnpp.net projects. :)

Seems there's been a misunderstanding, as I read posts like hundred's one or private messages saying things like "you are an awesome artist" and all sorts of stuff.
Please read my first post:

I didn't actually do it; I used official Team17 graphics.

I'm sorry if this wasn't very clear. I didn't draw it, I just slapped the logo of WR on an official piece of art.

On Facebook, Team17 said they would publish wallpapers with those backgrounds very soon but it didn't happen yet, so I thought "Putting a logo on a finished image ain't a big deal, so if Team17 is too busy I'm gonna do that" and so I did.

Sources:
- official Team17 artwork (http://www.team17.com/?page_id=346)
- Worms Reloaded logo (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4839362&id=64566768063)

I'm not even sure if I could do art like this at all. I'm only used to "cel-shading" comic style as in my avatar.

Oh, I thought you inserted the worm characters and stuff into an existing piece of art, if all you did was put the logo there then thats just lame ._. (and obscures the awesome artwork)

No, using this as a wallpaper without a logo was lame, that's why...

I first used it myself and I don't know why I got the idea of posting it here, but anyway sorry you are disappointed, I'll try making all informations clear next time.

No, failing at reading comprehension and then talking somebody down is lame. :rolleyes:

You know the drill...

I assumed that he used a backdrop from a random game and managed to edit existing Team17 artwork of worms into the backdrop as well as place the logo. IE: I was not aware the backdrop, worms, mines etc. are all there from the begnining and only the logo was new.

You can't save the background image though. At least, it won't let me anyway.
