It really drives me nuts that I don't know a name for that particular type of "unperturbed woodcut face in the sun" style.

The "face in sun" thing is used in heraldry, so "sun in splendour" maybe kind of at least kind of encompasses it, but that doesn't entail the woodcut appearance.

Maybe there is no term, but it seems so distinctive and such a common element in art that I'd think that someone would have named it.

It certainly is common enough. You had me looking it up now myself. No luck though. 🤔

Currently have this on my phone. Someone posted it recently somewhere on lemmy and I'm a lesbian and my cat recently died so imagining her spooking around me warmed my heart a bit, even though I don't even believe in ghosts or anything like that ❤️‍🩹

On my desktop I have a black hole because i love the gravitational effect of seeing the accretion disc behind the black hole from the front of it

This artist is SimzArt! Here is that artwork on Bluesky!

[–] Nusm@yall.theatl.social 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It’s my wife and me in front of the Magic Kingdom. Then I used an AI app to convert us to Muppets. I then used the iPhone wallpaper filters when putting it on my home screen.

Yep, I’m grown man with us as Muppets on my phone.

It picks one every hour from a folder full of paintings (oil & watercolor, a few sketches).

Using my own artwork because I'm genuinely happy with how it turned out and it reminds me of that awesome ttrpg campaign I was in

Hex 222e45.

I don't see it very much these days, as I'm using a tiling environment.

A Pikmin wallpaper! I love pikmin and all things green, so I picked (or is that plucked? Hehe) this one and I love it! 😃

A picture of the beach in a neighbourhood I want to move to in 3 years.

I went abroad to earn money and build a life for myself, I'm looking forward to moving back to my home country one day and having a house in a nice neighbourhood near family

[–] I_Miss_Daniel@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

No idea where it came from. It's just been there for ages and followed from my previous phone before I took it swimming.

PS: Nice.

I changed the wallpaper once in a blue moon every time I set up a new device, these two from 4 years ago when I first bought the phone.

I always just search "Oled wallpaper" and it usually return somekind of astronout just because of the black element.

A solid black.

[–] Fleece@feddit.uk 4 points 4 months ago

I found this on Reddit on either r/bunnies or r/rabbits a few years ago, can't remember who posted.

[–] paris@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

This is my current mobile wallpaper and this is my current desktop wallpaper! Although this reminds me that it's about time to pick a new wallpaper for my desktop since it's been a few months.

My current wallpaper is Hornet from Hollow Knight, but it cycles between around 150 pictures

My favorite is this fanart of Phos from Land of the Lustrous

[–] ilhamagh@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

SHAW !

I always found it amusing every time the HK fandom imploded when Team Cherry failed to show anything on a hyped showcase.

Don't get me wrong, I too would disappear from civilization for a while when Silksong launched, but god they're passionate aren't they

My bubby crossed the rainbow bridge recently and this was a really good snap of him

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Took it in 2019, and it's been my background since then.

My desktop wallpaper is the default Windows 10 wallpaper, and occasionally something on Wallpaper Engine.
