So I just read the two pages of the sneak peak to "Eragon's Guide to Alagaesia" and I was fascinated by the Ellesmera scene. It sure beats my previous nature background (which was an official RuneScape fairy background) and my ex-current background. So I decided the Ellesmera picture into a background.

Before you start pouncing, I made sure to put the necessary copyright info on the picture.

I made the background to fit my screen of 1680 x 1050 pixels (20" Widescreen) but I still have the original which is about 3044 x 1849 and I'm happy to resize it to fit anybody's screen who wants - if this is legal, which I hope it is because I put the copyright on the background. whistle.gif Seeing as I can't figure out how to do those sized-down things, I'll just post a link.

Did you do anything to it? Or did you just copy and paste from the preview?

I resized it to fit my screen (downsized, actually - which gives it better quality) and I added copyright notice in the top-right corner.

So what do you want us to do, critique your cropping skills? xD

The copyright could have been done better though. Try and hide it somewhere.

No, I was just offering to resize it for anyone else who wants it.
The problem with hiding the copyright is it has to be out of the way of the picture, but easily recognisable.

You could have kept it the flow of the picture though. At the moment t breaks through the trees and stuff. Maybe you should have it vertical.

No problem. That's what the thread is for. ).gif

Due to it being a 'widescreen' picture and your screen size is a 'normal' size (aspect ratio of 4:3) I couldn't fit some of the sides in without putting big ugly lines on the top and bottom. Tell me if there is anything else wrong with it, though.

Thanks! You know, I haven't been able to find that book ANYWHERE!! Every time I go to the mall, I look for it. They always have 40+ copies of brisinger deluxe edition, but never one copy of that book.
Oh well.

Sure. Would you like the copyright right in the corner, or a certain amount of pixels up so the taskbar doesn't cover it? (Or is that the point? ;).gif)
