Ooh, the Entity wallpaper reminds me of Deus from Xenogears for some reason -- the basic outline of the ghostly shape you have there and the Lavos-like baddie are similar. Is this the Entity's "form," i.e., could it be considered something that is at one with the planet yet apart from it, at least in the context of this work? Definitely my favorite of what you've posted so far.

It does seem reminiscent of Deus, doesn't it? But, I can assure you its only coincidence.

I imagined it as such: A being not only connected, but part of the planet with its fate mutually inclusive with the planet, only you or I could not observe it as its existence only becomes apparent at higher dimensions (e.g. a waveform existence).

Definitely my favorite of what you've posted so far.

Thank you!

Oh, I didn't read it right...I thought you were just talking about the attachments...*heh heh* Sorry...Maybe it's a size issue? I forget the requirements & what-not...

It would appear thats a partially correct answer. It seems only a ridiculously small frame count will work (2 frames or so...) It never did it before I added information to the location field (won't fix it if I remove the information.)

Well it did work before didn't it?

Yes, I had a 24 frame animation working. 

Maybe it's your Personal Text...? It looks kinda long...I didn't even know there WAS personal text until I just saw yours...>_>

I tried removing my personal text, didn't work. In addition, I even removed all of my personal info, tried refreshing the picture, and it still didn't work. 

WHAT get rid of Dak'kon!!! I'll have the only Planescape: Torment personal text person here. I was alone for so long.

Don't worry I'm not considering removing the Dak'kon quote. Three words: Planescape: Torment *rules*.

It looks fine in your sig...>_>

I posted my avatar in my sig just to show you what it is *supposed* to looks like.

I think I'm going to bypass the problem for *now* and keep it in my sig, though. *sighs*

Doublepost: Its come to my attention that my picture *are* suffering in quality due to the forums shrinking my pictures. For those who don't know (those who do know don't reply saying I already knew that.) to view in *true quality* right click on picture ->view image (or other equivalent.)

I'm curious as to what you used to make the third one.

Photoshop. To be specific I used the following functions (some used more than once.): Standard brush tool (used a *lot*), Wave, Find Edges, Zoom Blur, Gaussian Blur, Clouds, Hue/Saturation, Brightness/Contrast and Difference Clouds. Plus I played around with the layer effects.

I kind of like the second one, though I've seen wallpapers like it before...The quote chosen is kind of a long one...and really, do you need it to be "quoted" exactly? I mean, anyone who'd want it is going to know 1) those are pics of Magus & 2) Magus said that line. Putting the quotes around it & identifying who you're quoting seems redundant to me...but w/e...I'm a nitpicker by nature (not 'cuz I hate 'ya ^_^)...

Its okay. I'm asking for critical review anyways, so its all good. Besides I'm not going to get any better if I don't get a criticism once in a while.

So anyways I posted my avatar in my sig just to show you what it is *supposed* to looks like.

I was editing some of my profile information and clicked "change profile" and my picture glitched. It had gotten stuck on the first frame. (picture one)

And the picture field doesn't even recognize it... (picture two)
Yet when I put the picture in the field it appears, but doesn't save. (picture three)

What is happening and can somebody help me?

Frog's accent wouldn't be such a problem if everyone from 600 AD spoke like him, which would have been a nice touch actually.

It would've been nice and probably more consistent...   

But then again, who said Chrono Trigger was a consistent game. (at *very* least in the NA version.) It tends to leave a lot of things unexplained and, as such, things such as realism, consistency, and purpose are usually up for a *lot* of interpretation (explanations such as entities, dumb luck, and lack of oversight usually arise.).
But, hey everything works out in the end and thats all that really matters, right?

Definitely love the second one.

Only erk is the text is a bit tough to read, unless it just shrunk down due to being posted. I dunno.

Made the text easier to read as per your suggestion.

Wow, that's actually really interesting placidchap. The dancer was moving clockwise at first for me, then when I looked away and back, she was rotating counterclockwise! Does this mean my brain is ambidextrous?

Weird!  I got the same thing as well. First time counter-clockwise, then I had to leave I then had come back and it was clockwise. *Starting to wonder if that test is reliable or not...*

So any ways after seeing all the artists here making wallpapers I thought I'd take a crack at it. I made everything except the ship, which I borrowed obviously. Tell me what you think!

Hiya.

I'm new.

I'm a former lurker who finally buckled down and started an account.

Been watching Chrono Compendium for a long time -- I mean, I can easily recall the OOOOOOOLD formatting...

Anywho, I'm here.  Finally.

Welcome, I hope your stay will be an enjoyable and enriching experience.  Old formatting? You mean this: http://web.archive.org/web/20030924200654/http://www.chronocompendium.com/
