    Hey guys,

    I've always wanted to make a bunch of kick-ass G1 desktops. Seeing how we can now submit to the board,
    I figure I'll give it a shot. Instead of PMing Admins all the time. I thought I would put all the ones I create in this thread &
    TFW staff could take any & all as they see fit. I'll be making 1 every few days, so check back often.
    After each update I'll post what desktops are coming next. I'll be using strictly art work from the MTMTE Sourcebooks.
    As I have Hi-rez scans of them all. Please no requests, I'll do my best to get to all the G1 favorites plus more.
    All desktops will be 1440 x 900.

    Enjoy
    NP

    All desktops have been archived to TFW by staff, Link below.

    Be careful with your cutouts. I see a lot of white "fringe" on some of them. Otherwise, keep them coming. :D

    I'll do my best, Looking back I can see some spots I missed in knees & "joints".
    Thankfully I always save as Psd's & Jpg's.

    smart, took two F*** ups to get that in my head

    a reasonable fix is to feather the selection in Photoshop to help it blend between layers

    if you're using photoshop, try feathering the selection edge to help the background blend in

    Update, Fort Max added

    Thanks for the kind words & C & C guys.

    Fort Max has been added.
    I have gone back & reworked the first 3 desktops to try & remove any white fringe.
    I have gotten rid of the drop shadow on the foreground pics as I think it was making the white seem worst.
    I will be updating this thread daily, but after this post I will only "bump" this thread with a "weekly updated" post.

    I've flipped a few of them so far. I just don't want every one to look like a cookie cutter copy, even though the overall look & style are the same.

    I'll get to Prowl, No worries.
