In November 2004 the Dual Anime Wallpaper site held a contest to design an anime desktop wallpaper. They gave quite a long period to put entries in, so I actually did four walls, although only 2 entries were allowed per person.

Here are they.

Well, the background is kinda boring and generic tech stuff, but it's the os tan girls, and they're pretty cute. For those that don't know shown here are win2k and XP, with longhorn in the little piccie.

Entered into the dual anime contest.

The ever lovable Mahoro on a background filled with squares.

I really like this wall, but it seems that many people do not. Still, I entered it into the competition as it's my choice, but it was a toss up between this and "an apple a day".

A very simple design. I'm not sure if it entirely works, but it kinda turned out basically as I'd intended.

The only bit that's different is that I originally put an enormous apple in the background, but it looked pretty rubbish.

It was a close thing between this and the Mahoro wall as to which I put into the contest.

I realised at some point that this isn't really a wallpaper. I mean, it is, cos of the size, but really it's a bit of artwork.

The background just doesn't match belldandy and what her image is. As such, it's not a viable entry for the competition.

This is probably the first time I really fiddled with the character though. I've done re-cg bits and pieces, and had to clean characters up, but I went to town with this and really fiddled with the colours and levels and stuff.
