Hi All,
Some time ago I found the picture of a lovely manga babe somewhere in the net (can't remember where).
I did not like the ugly background, so I cut out the girl's silhouette with my primitive Gimp skills and put her in a more elegant and boring black background with the Arch logo.

I also tatooed the girl with the Arch logo!!
The image is 1920x1200, feel free to crop it to suit your resolution.
Hope you like it.
Enjoy.
Fnord.

Nice! I like it. Pretty color scheme, and those clothes are both extremely sexy and fit the theme (looking so techy).

Samhain,
That artwork is from Shunya Yamashita. I know because I own 14 PVC figurines based on his artwork.

Cosay,

(I hope I'm not breaking any stinking copyright crap-law using and posting the wallpaper

OMG!
I'm already ordering in Amazon a couple of illustration books of Yamashita.

What are the chances of getting Yamashita to create an Arch mascot?

The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck, is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

I think so, not sure whether it was me being fired, or I got retrenched or got a redundancy, but it was worth it and that's all that matters. Who needs jobs? Wait... Aren't we facing a recession soon... CRAP!!!

There's also the (relatively) new Foreground Select tool, which automates the process a bit.

Has the arch-babe's legality/copyright thing been resolved yet?
I've made a splashy bootsplash theme and SLiM theme from this image and I'd like to share

Nice! i like it, we should chose an official anime mascot that would be pretty cool then we could all use the same mascot. Just a thought

I second Xenokite. Such a mascot is way more awesome than an animal mascot.

I agree too
