Nope.

I don’t know if this works with Angelfire, but on Geocities you can rename your file to .txt and it works great.

The wallpaper seems a little empty.

I see a few of the brushes from nocturna as dark grey hidden in the corners, but thats about it :-\

It needs more 🙂

Actually my screen color is too dark, and it is at its brightest. I hate my monitor… I really do.

But still all I see is just a few grunge brushes around the edges here and there.

Is there more that I can’t see?

[edit]don’t edit your post until after I post…lol[/edit]

a little more, not to much, but its kind of a simplistic wallpaper. Do you know where I can get some good “droplet” brushes, like drops of ink type deals?

go to adobe studio exchange. Lots of brushes. Your pic is a good start just add a lot more to it. The trick is knowing when to stop.

Still mostly just a bunch of fancy brushes, but that is much better, it is awesome.

The blood splatter spots add an awesome effect to it 🙂

So this is what grunge is. I’ve seen it, but never realized what the correct name for it was. Reminds me of art by Jackson Pollock. He spills and flings paint onto the canvas while he’s drunk and still manages to create art. :-\

Grunge is art that is made to look like a dirtied up photo or canvas.

It isn’t like spatter paint, there is actually technique to it…lol.

I suck at grunge kind of :-, I am too structured to be able to just toss things here and there…lol.
