I'd like to make this into a wallpaper, but my ability to photoshop is lacking. Thus, I turn to you, /w/.

Something simple, with an empty black space to the left for icons (I hate imagery under my icons; it looks too busy)

Show me what you've got, /w/

Here's what I came up with, but I just can't get the fade into the black to look smooth...

Didn't know what size you wanted. How's some 1600x1200?

Did you blur that black over manually, with the blur tool? Do a Google search for using gradients. They're a pain in the ass to learn, but they're nice to know.

lol I was using the same picture as my background for a while, I Just centered against white and it looked pretty good.

Sorry, the resolution is 1400x1050. I can change that kinda stuff to make it fit my screen easily, though.

The blurring was done by putting a gaussian blur over some black, then duplicating the very edge of the drawing, blurring that, and layering them image/edge blur/black.

I could never do a white BG. That would burn my eyes out...

Interesting... I never really considered doing something like that.

Thanks for all the help, guys.
