Backgrounds

Postby Scorpiоn » Sat Sep 20, 2003 8:44 pm

What are some good sites for backgrounds, do you guys fare?  I usually don't put anything less than a 1024 x 768 on by PC, but right now I have a Spit shooting down a 190 that's somewhere between 88 x 600 and 1024 x 768.  The only site I know of is Breedart.  Although I warn you sir, some content is, well, strange!

I usually just find a good picture and scan it in or I use a screenshot from FS.

www.desktopgirls.com

Isn't that a porn site?  ;D ::)

Why I never! I can't believe a fellow simmer uses women on his desktop! I would've thought that everybody here would have a sim picture... :( :( :(

Oh well, it don't really matter, but I've got a really cool picture of the default 182S with the Kent State repaint textures flying at dusk with really cool weather...if I get some time I will upload it to the screenshot forum...

It may not be a porn site, but get ready for a butt-load of pop-ups. >:(

Not often I do this, but lately Wendy has been making me proud of the shots she has been taking with her camera......its nice to see all that practice come to the fore and capture a moment in its glory.....

This wonderful shot is by Stormy (in Peter Pans words  my "Wendy Darling")......she caught a moment for me which I would otherwise have missed.............this is a small version(640x480) of the original 1600x1200

...............Thanks Babe !  :-*
