Thought I’d take a leaf out of smokey’s book and start a thread of some of the random wallpapers I make.
Generally won’t be space themed as I’ll save them for official releases, so this is just the random stuff I do that wouldn’t really be suitable for official releases.

And a few samples:

I love all of them, but I think the ones with the LEGO figure are my favorite

Purple purple!
Last one gave me an idea for a blender render. Now all I need is fifty hours to learn the skills and transfer the imagery from my mind to blender

Yeah we had them at primary school… the earliest computer I remember using was one called a Micro-Bee and it actually used cassette tapes for programs

That is cool, I can’t remember what computer we had, I think I was only about 5 or 6 but I remember playing this and just how cool it was
That’s really cute! Not enough green, though. Still, I love it, especially the floppy one.

A little history / trivia on the computer’s name HAL 9000.
OT
The producers of "2001: A Space Odyssey " wanted to have IBM in the name as IBM was a big name in computers (especially main frame) at the time.
The IBM execs decided they did not want their Logo associated with a computer AI that run amok. So this is what the producers / writers did.
H = one letter before I in the English alphabet
A = one letter before B in the English alphabet
L = one letter before M in the English alphabet
