Aanchir Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 With my transfer to a new college this semester came a new laptop-- a MacBook Pro with a screen resolution of 1440x900. I spent a while looking for a good wallpaper for it (preferably a LEGO-related one), but I couldn't find any that particularly appealed to me, especially ones that would look good at this screen resolution. Finally I decided to make one myself.I put this together using this year's Ninjago character wallpapers as a background (Photoshopping multiple backgrounds together to remove the minifigure photographs and character names) and high-resolution CGI minifigure images from cache.LEGO.com as the foreground image (example source image).The NRG Ninja minifigures are amazing character designs, and pictures hardly do their elementally-charged metallic prints justice, but still there's something magical about shiny LEGO minifigure images, especially larger-than-life ones that truly let you take in every little detail.Click the image to view it in full size:And if anyone's curious, here's what it looks like on my desktop. I think I will be happy with this layout for quite a while!You are welcome to use this wallpaper yourselves. If you would prefer it in a different resolution (1440 pixels wide or smaller), just ask-- I still have the original Photoshop document with all the layers separated, so it will be no trouble to change the size or aspect ratio.

FrozenFlash Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I was expecting a wallpaper with all of the NRG ninja portraits. Anyways, awesome job on this! I like how it looks like those actual Ninjago posters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how it looks like those actual Ninjago posters.I wish I had high-quality images of the portraits for the NRG ninja! They look beautiful on the cards, and as always I wish the illustrator were listed on the cards so I could know who to credit for that brilliance. But in any event, CGI minifigures are still interesting enough to decorate my desktop. Glad you think I did a good job!
