Looking for backgorunds
« on: February 19, 2010, 12:49:22 PM »
Hey all.

I'm looking for background scenery that could be used to make desktops.

As an example, I'm currently looking for a 'sweet shop' background that a character (see here LINK ) can be placed 'into'.

I'd prefer 'old style' sweet shop to 'modern' for preference.

I'm also looking, I just figured the more the merrier, as it were and asking doesn't hurt....too much.

You can get a lot of good anime-related scans (and walls) over at http://www.animepaper.net/ .  A lot of the people there get scans off of http://gallery.minitokyo.net/scans , too, or DeviantArt.

just go to moe.imouto.org and search for "wallpaper". there are a TON of wallpapers that are anime related as well as some others mixed in. there are also boatloads of other pics (no, it isnt an all-loli site, as the name suggests)

What?  An imouto doesn't *have* to be a loli.  It's all about perspective.

Hmmm... I was actually looking specifically for a "Lolly Shop" background, but hey....

Anyways, here are a few sites that I found;

http://www.backgroundlabs.com/

http://www.freebackgrounds.com/plaza.htm

http://www.allfreebackgrounds.com/background_select.html

I haven't had a good look around them yet, I just haven't had the time, so much work, too many anime to watch, so little time after eating etc to actually do something fancy with desktops.

I have actually grabbed a half dozen screen shots from "Samurai Champloo" that should make nice desktops..... if I can blow them up large enough without them getting too fuzzy  ;)
