This is the first Wallpaper war.

Our judges will be Kiwi and Vincent.

And I, Lava, will be the host.

Rules:
All wallpapers must be your own work
You must have your name or screenname on it somewhere
Post the wallpaper, not your desktop

Votes:
We will have votes after the contest is over, we will each post what we think deserves 1st, 2nd or 3rd place. The winners on this contest cannot qualify for the next wallpaper war, but the wallpaper war after it (to avoid winning streaks). Though the judges in the next war will be the 1st and 2nd place winners.

Due date:
This contest ends by November 16th 2005

You may use whatever tools you want
And there is no theme.

My entry is:

Sorry it can't be counted, you can still have it up there, it just can't be voted in. Though you have till November 18th to repost it, the voting doesn't start until the contest is over.

Looked like a Jawa to me too, but then I saw the stick body showing, I think it was the tan cloak and the glowing eyes that threw me off, especially the cloak, maybe if it was black, red or dark gray.

yah lava, i know wat you mean. i was going to change it...in fact, i was going to do it that way before i really got started. problem was, the stick figure is black, so the black robe might not work as well, added on top of the fact that there is already so much grey and red in the picture. but, hey....if you wanna call it a sith jawa, go ahead. that would be awesome.

I must admit that I use Windows too. I did try Linux but found it had less software support than I needed at the time ( I tried it in 2001 ). Openoffice is my choice of office software, so Im not totally reliant on Microsoft.

I however, do not use IE or Outlook. all hail Mozilla.

Could you send me your submission through email? My browser shows a broken link, my address is nnl@sbcglobal.net

Ereon, you can send me a wallpaper with your name on it if you wish, it will count.
