Check it out guys, I made this wallpaper in say, 5 minutes last night and I was wondering what you all think. Just post what you think in the poll or drop a reply. Also, feel free to save the wallpaper for whatever screen resolution you have and use it, hell, do whatever the heck you want with it! :agree

Personally, if you honeslty did taht in 5 minues, you are a photoshop pro. Spend more time on it and see what happens though. But it wis awesome. I'm in another state right now, but whenn I get home, thats going to be my new wallpaper. Abnd i'm assuming your avatar you also made in photoshop too, right? If so, what font was it you used to write 'FCLAX'?

Photoshop would be the program I used, yep. And I kinda exagerated the 5 minutes thing, but it took me less than an hour. I just finished that up and wanted to see what people think. I'm working on it as we speak, seeing what I can do to tweak it and/or make it look cooler. So I'll post a fresh one later!
The grungey effect was made from both some grunge brushes I made and some I downloaded.
As for the font I used, I downloaded it and it's called AngryBlue. If you want me to send you it whenever you get back, hit me up on here or on AIM, my sn's Viperslax24.

It looks okay, take the bevel and emboss off the lacrosse text, try somthing else like an inner shadow. Not enough color, too much black in white, if you took the pictures out it wouldn't be very good.

the text should be a different color - it will definatly help tie in the color photos since the rest is b & w
and im not sure of this cuz i havent set it as my wallpaper since im at work, but you gotta make sure when you use text that the toolbar or w/e its called at the bottom of most windows screens doesnt cover the text up ... it prolly doesnt, but if it does fix it
other than that, its pretty damn good. it is an intense one, but its pulled off quite nicely. dark wallpapers arent for everyone, but i like this one
