Do you have a LOTR-related desktop? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I used to have this sweet guy.

But I've since changed it to The Hall's of Manwe..

I _did_ have a picture of Sauron's eye as wallpaper, but since the monitor went very strange and broke down a month later, I can assure you that I am not doing that again.

I used to have Gandalf the Grey by John Howe and replaced him on and off with Lothlorien by Ted Nasmith. I tend to change desktops a lot, but these two keep on coming back

I have a great desktop picture of Idril and Maeglin by "Kasiopea" (Catherine Karina Chmiel). Her works are really amazing. I recommend to visit her site at http://www.tolkien.com.pl/kasiopea/ang/tolkien.htm.

That's a very nice choice.

I wouldn't know which one to pick as a favourite from those! Her illustrations are very different to most of the Tolkien art I've seen as they seem very bold and the characters seem quite wild, which is how I imagine a lot of them to be. But I particularly like those of Boromir and Faramir as children, and the picture of Luthien and Huan (she looks like Kate Bush in this picture). davem bought a copy of the Polish Tolkien Society's journal in Birmingham (it's titled Aiglos) and it had a number of these illustrations.

Yes, they're really lovely. I took the Idril and Maeglin -picturepartly because it was of fitting size...

This is one of my personal favourites, even if I've used others too...

Fingolfin challenging Morgoth

Something I've been looking for a time now is a nice cap. from ROTK, the scene where the eagles appears in the clouds before sweeping down and rescuing Sam and Frodo from the exploding Orodruin. That looked awesome on the big screen first time I saw the movie

This is what is on my desktop at work. And while it is an 'Old Forest', it never seemed terribly Middle-earth related, until one day I noticed two small hobbits peeking out of the lower middle portion of the screen.
