People, GIVE IT A REST.

Not only are non of us, as far as I'm aware, professional graphics designers, but also the time it would take (even IF any of us had that kind of skill) to make a quality graphic from complete scratch (and a desktop must look good, face it) would take a while.

Brushes and plugins and stuff look good yeah, but face it, if you want any actual ITEMS in it, chances are most if not all of us here are going to need to find outside image sources.

There is nothing wrong with it.
If someone just takes a good image and does little else with it, yeah it'll look good probably, but it would be obvious that little was done by the maker, which should end up reflecting in the voting/deciding, whatever.

So QUIT COMPLAINING, please.  Theres nothing wrong with shopping for images from google.

I agree, I use alot of reference textures etc from google, i'd be lost without them - however i chose not to for this competition as the rules were pretty clear - and besides creating something from scratch is far more rewarding than using even one small portion of someone elses work.

The only criticism I had of Chief is that he _attempted_ to copy a few methods I employ, which he admitted to  - therefore my grudge is over.
