[–]SupernumeraryEccleston 61 points62 points ago

1) Thank you. These are amazing.

2) The problem with using beautiful wallpaper for your desktop, is that you then want to sit and admire it rather than use any programs. Dilemma.

[–]Borania 11 points12 points ago

I have 2 screens, officialy to be able to multitask and stuff. secretly it's so I can watch my wallpapers as well as do some useful stuff

[–]cnmsalesTARDIS 35 points36 points ago

So not to one up you or anything. But I will see your 200 wallpapers and raise you with one that has 323. :) I of course have taken some of yours to add to my collection. Any way enjoy. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/wp0sbdbgs81jc5y/nc4sYvEGPy

And thanks, you have some fantastic ones that I did not have yet!!!!

[–]neonwatermelonDalek 5 points6 points ago

Is it okay if I download this?

[–]neurosin 6 points7 points ago

Nope.

That's not what the download link is for. But thanks for asking. ;P

[–]neonwatermelonDalek 5 points6 points ago

Oh haha I'm new to the whole drop box thing. I always heard about people downloading things from dropbox so I just assumed. Lol

[–]grant0TARDIS 1 point2 points ago

....cannot tell if serious.....yes you can download.

[–]neonwatermelonDalek 1 point2 points ago

Lol I figured you were kinda trolling. I clicked it and was like "BULL SHIT!" I was more of asking permission to download your collection not asking is this downloadable. I did download it though. I'm sorry for my computer illiteracy. :/

[–]TheSexBob-ombs 0 points1 point ago

It won't let me download the one I want. :(

[–]bigpapajon 0 points1 point ago

I am not commenting so I can come back.

[–]SharopoSmith 0 points1 point ago

So does this download have all of the original 200 plus others, or would it be wise to download both?

[–]cnmsalesTARDIS 0 points1 point ago

I have included most of the 200. However I already had some of them, and a few of them I just didnt care.

[–]DrHilarityTARDIS[S] 25 points26 points ago

Hi my name is DrHilarity and I'm a wallpaper addict. I figured I could put some use to my addiction and share my collection, gathered from around the net. Hopefully you can find something you like!

Also there's some crossover stuff thrown in there, so don't get confused when you see Snoopy.

[–]MarlaJensine 2 points3 points ago

These are amazing. Now I can't decide which one I like the best. First world problems.

[–]spudty 4 points5 points ago

Set your wallpaper to change ever 15 minutes or so.

[–]MarlaJensine 0 points1 point ago

I'm using them for my Droid. Not sure if I can do that. But I'll have to look...

[–]pearlykitten 1 point2 points ago

Love the Snoopy one! One of my favorite DW wallpaper collections yet!

[–]JWrundle 18 points19 points ago

Man this one says 'home is where the tardis". So if you break it down like home is where the heart is it says "Home is where the tard is."

[–]DrHilarityTARDIS[S] 2 points3 points ago

I try to pretend you're meant to say "tardis is" really quickly so you can only heard "tardis." Not because I think that's true. Because I really like the wallpaper and don't want my computer screen to say "home is where the tard is."

[–]JWrundle 0 points1 point ago

I really like it too it bummed me out a lot when I realized it.

[–]ermahgerditsAMYTennant 13 points14 points ago

These are all awesome. I wish I had 200+ computers and electronics to use every one of them.

[–]nsfw_reddits_acc 13 points14 points ago

You could use something that periodically changes your wallpaper when given a folder of pictures. I think Win7 even has that functionality built-in.

[–]XavierMendelTARDIS 11 points12 points ago

Eeyup! You can easily switch between specific images, or those of an entire folder.

Right click on your desktop and click Personalize.

At the bottom, click Desktop Background.

Then, select Browse and choose a folder.

Then, all images in that folder will load. Click "Select All".

After, near the bottom, edit the "Change the picture every:" open to your preferred time. I use 10 minutes.

Click "Shuffle" if you want the order to be random.

Finally, under Picture Position, choose "Fill". This will ensure even very large or maligned pictures look good, by filling the screen, wrapping, and cutting off the excess.

Save changes, and exit.

Any other questions, feel free to ask.

[–]jherazobTARDIS 0 points1 point ago

And for Linux there's Wallch

[–]SharopoSmith 1 point2 points ago

Ubuntu has the functionality built in.

[–]TrovenSilence 4 points5 points ago

"Blimey, that's amazing. Did you know that in 200+ wallpapers I've never seen one that wasn't important before?"

[–]Arrca9 2 points3 points ago

Win7 does have that functionality like nsfw_reddits_acc and XavierMendel suggested but I like using John's Background Switcher myself. You get a lot more options with it.

[–]Pthaos 7 points8 points ago

Just incase anyone was as confused as I was, you can hit the little gear/options symbol in the top right to see full resolution.

Thanks for this! :D

[–]sylphofspace 6 points7 points ago

Because I know she'd want credit, the artist who drew #195 (the sociopaths have the box) is geothebio. She does a lot of great stuff.

[–]Fortnightly 5 points6 points ago

Thank you for the Morrowind one. That picture filled a hole in my life that I didn't even know was there.

[–]Jumpin_Jack_Flash 1 point2 points ago

http://i.imgur.com/8BGHs.gif

[–]jMayhem 3 points4 points ago

I can't seem to download all 200 at one time? I can only download like, 17 or so. Can you post a zip with all of them, or is that against the rules?

[–]porter7o 2 points3 points ago

you and me both, I just downloaded the other files someone put a link for 300+ linked to dropbox... https://www.dropbox.com/sh/wp0sbdbgs81jc5y/nc4sYvEGPy

[–]jherazobTARDIS 0 points1 point ago

There's a "Download" link at the bottom, gives you a nice .zip

[–]jMayhem 1 point2 points ago

I was just saying that that download button only gives me 17 of the photos.

[–]jherazobTARDIS 0 points1 point ago

Completely right, only 17. I guess you'll have to fall back on one of those downloader programs/scripts that are out there. It also seems like the one i used to use no longer works.

[–]csbrown83 3 points4 points ago

The Dalek building a snow dalek about made me cry...

[–]MrAristo 0 points1 point ago

I assumed The Doctor made the snow dalek either as a mocking gesture, or to side-track the dalek for a few moments.

[–]csbrown83 2 points3 points ago

I wanted the dalek to have a soul! What mean creature makes snowmen? But you could be right -they would get confused first. Then aroused?

[–]ZovistogratDalek 4 points5 points ago

DALEK-SNOH WILL HAVE NO HEART, AND BE COLD! COLD HATRED, COLD HATRED!!!

[–]HypersapienK-9 4 points5 points ago

This is now added to my rotating wallpaper.

The others I can understand, but they couldn't find better pictures of Eccelston and Tennant?

[–]Bannakaffalatta1K-9 9 points10 points ago

If I'm seeing it correctly it's all the doctor's first poses when then meet their first Dalek.

[–]HypersapienK-9 6 points7 points ago

The shot they picked is fine, I'm talking about the image quality.

I wish people would stop mangling pictures by saving them as JPGs.

Try PNGs, people! They will be your new best friend!

[–]Bannakaffalatta1K-9 1 point2 points ago

Went back and looked at it, good call. I completely agree with you.

[–]macshordoEccleston 2 points3 points ago

That can't be true, Ten met his first Daleks at the start of Doomsday, and he walked around them in his 3D glasses.

[–]ChineseBuffetChampTARDIS 2 points3 points ago

A handful of duplicates within the album, but still outstanding.

[–]HerbieHind 2 points3 points ago

Hi, I'd like to gratefully accept your offering of wonderful Doctor Who wallpapers. Thank you. :)

[–]MSzimpo 2 points3 points ago

Omg! I really love the pictures, but some how i can't really download the pictures? I really love the white picture number 10, and the two pictures with the 9th and 10th doctor infront with the stories behind them, (they're situated next to each other in the line)

[–]magnaswimgirl 2 points3 points ago

Click the little gear in the upper right hand corner of the pictures and click "download full resolution image." I was confused by the failure of the "right-click-save-as" as well.

[–]MSzimpo 1 point2 points ago

Thank you, i found out i could just "right-click-save-as" from Reddit, much faster, because when i tried to use the "download" botton on imgur, it would download 12 random pictures.

[–]motorcityvickiK-9 1 point2 points ago

You have my vote for mayor of awesometown.

[–]GoldenGopherDadTARDIS 1 point2 points ago

Awesome album!

[–]neoaoshi 2 points3 points ago

Fantastic!

[–]YesbutDrWhoTARDIS 2 points3 points ago

These are amazing thank you! the one where the Tardis is all covered in vines in the forest makes me sad, like he died and left it there

[–]neonwatermelonDalek 1 point2 points ago

This is beautiful

[–]sumdimbulbK-9 2 points3 points ago

A talented artist that I know did "The Amazing Cyber-Man" one, you can show him some love here http://www.redbubble.com/people/kal5000/works/9289576-the-amazing-cyber-man

[–]thefreitag 2 points3 points ago

Here's an exclusive version! My shot for snow leopard's default wallpaper with the tardis. The original one, for leopard, is not mine, I just transported it to the SL one.

Hope you guys enjoy!

http://imgur.com/MjTO1

[–]eighthmasterMcCoy 2 points3 points ago

This one always makes me so sad :(

[–]glenbolakeDalek 0 points1 point ago

Does this refer to something? It makes me think I must have missed an episode.

[–]PirateZeroEccleston 0 points1 point ago

It made me think of when 9 tells Rose to go home and be happy. To let the TARDIS be a funny little box on the street corner. Let life go on and the TARDIS and the Doctor be forgotten.

[–]nerdfighter_dftba 2 points3 points ago

More David Tennant! Less Matt Smith! But I really enjoyed these, thanks :D

[–]SuperMse 1 point2 points ago

I'm the Batman.

Basically, run.

[–]PissedInYourCheerios 0 points1 point ago

Love the wallpapers! Thanks! But does anybody care to explain the Harry Potter one with David Tennant in it?

[–]DerpyDash13Tennant 3 points4 points ago

Simply Tennant photobombing, as he also does in the Star Wars one.

And Smith photobombing BtVS aswell.

I particularly loved those ones :3

[–]scuzzytoastTARDIS 1 point2 points ago

Well then! That's my next year of wallpapers sorted out.

Great collection, thanks for putting it up!

[–]reyuji 1 point2 points ago

Thank you for uploading all these :D

[–]captainblueSmith 0 points1 point ago

Never going to look at Nighthawks the same way again. I think the two figures look a lot like the Doctor and Amy without photoshop.

[–]MyRaggedyDoctorSmith 1 point2 points ago

This are just beautiful.

Wish they were in iPod format, too, but that doesn't matter:)

[–]DerHellste 1 point2 points ago

woah woah woah woah.

The Case of the Cybermen? Benedict Cumberbatch? Please tell me I missed something!

[–]are_you_slow 0 points1 point ago

The two I made still aren't on one of these lists. One day =)

[–]foundling777 1 point2 points ago

I'm trying to download the whole folder, but when I hit the "download" button on Imgur, it only puts 17 images in a zip file. Help?

[–]ellelia 1 point2 points ago

This is absolutely amazing! Thank you :)

[–]Borania 0 points1 point ago

looks pretty cool. I already have a few of these but there are most definately a few additions to my collection here

[–]megagooseyK-9 1 point2 points ago

I love you for this.

[–]johnturkey 1 point2 points ago

Sadly most of them are low rez

[–]ABMatrix[!] 1 point2 points ago

These are fantastic, thank you!

[–]SCRisingSmith 1 point2 points ago

It's amazing how beautiful many of these are. Thank you for sharing!

[–]MrVojjin 1 point2 points ago

Thank you. You are truly a person who deserves love, respect and a truck-load of timey wimey wibbly wobbly awesome thrown right into your heart-places.

[–]aaronoob 1 point2 points ago

Christmas came early

[–]Honestabe1001 1 point2 points ago

I searched all weekend for a good dr who wallpaper... then I gave up and now you post all of these amazing wallpapers. Any of which would be wonderful.

so... Thank you... for making my weekend a wasted effort.

Seriously Thanks though.

[–]The_FactSphereTom Baker 1 point2 points ago

Batman v. Daleks... Who wins?

[–]ChiefWendel 1 point2 points ago

I just want to admire all of these they're brilliant. Well here goes at least an hour...

[–]lemuffins 1 point2 points ago

You; I like you. Thanks!

[–]godsdebrisTennant 1 point2 points ago

I actually came here looking for wallpapers for my new phone. These are awesome! :)

[–]comosedicedouchebagDalek 1 point2 points ago

these are wonderful, thank you for taking the time to share these with us <3

[–]Cirusness 1 point2 points ago

Wondrous!

[–]joreclros92 1 point2 points ago

These are glorious!

[–]Mushrom 1 point2 points ago

The last one is the one that really gets me. God, Calvin and Hobbes plus Doctor Who would be amazing.

[–]elitemrp 0 points1 point ago

I've had the starry night one as my background for about a year. Love that one!

Edit: The first one with Vincent in the picture.

[–]EveryGoodNameIsGoneMcGann 0 points1 point ago

I'd love to see this one with photos of Samson and Gemma Griffin, Charley Pollard, C'rizz, Lucie Miller, Tamsin Drew, Mary Shelley, and Molly O'Sullivan.

It's possible too since they all actually had actors (Lee Ingleby, Lizzie Hopley, India Fisher, Conrad Westmass, Sheridan Smith, Niky Wardley, Julie Cox, and Ruth Bradley, respectively) playing them, and I think most of them did photoshoots for Big Finish covers as their characters (except probably Samson and Gemma).

[–]GadgetgirlmarieTARDIS 1 point2 points ago

I wish I could give this a million upvotes...

[–]porter7o 0 points1 point ago

Is there an easy way to download all of these in one go? I hit the 'download' button and only about 10 are in the zip... what am I doing what?

[–]porter7o 0 points1 point ago

Nevermind, I just used dropbox to download the 300+ one :)

[–]Hush399 0 points1 point ago

The tardis isn't a phone booth...

[–]DanPLynchEccleston 1 point2 points ago

Wow I got to #9 and saw the mushroom on the left, "Is that what I think it is!?" Then saw the rest of the picture "Yes! Yes! Yes!". Morrowind and the Doctor, I would never have thought of it! I'm going to snag a lot of these I'm sure. And to think I just told myself I'm going to start something productive.

[–]redrominaTARDIS 1 point2 points ago

oh my Doctor!! Thank you.

[–]topplehat[!] 1 point2 points ago

Amazing.

[–]da12vid 1 point2 points ago

[–]zacyzacyEccleston 1 point2 points ago

these are awesome, but do you/ anyone else have this one in 1080p?

[–]johnturkey 2 points3 points ago

It is in 1080p. move your mouse to the upper right hand corner of the image the click on the grear.

[–]zacyzacyEccleston 0 points1 point ago

Neat. Thanks.

[–]whitegirlie4K-9 1 point2 points ago

Rock em Sock em robots is the best!!!

Commenting to save! Ignore meeee.

[–]Quietmode 0 points1 point ago

does anyone have any moving wallpapers for Doctor who? Like right now I have a spinning earth with weather patterns (not real time, its just looped) as my background

[–]revfelix 0 points1 point ago

Any chance I could get these all in a zip/rar/7z file for easy download?

[–]jlmoyer17Smith 1 point2 points ago

Whoever you are....I love you. This is awesome! :D

[–]pretty-little-angelDavison 1 point2 points ago

I really liked the little fish in that episode.

[–]thefreitag 0 points1 point ago

started kinda meh, then it became AWESOME. Did you order them in level of awesomeness?

[–]ThatonephonecallDalek 0 points1 point ago

is there a way to download them all?

[–]MidgetgemmieTARDIS 0 points1 point ago

You are amazing! :)

[–]YourDeuceTom Baker 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for the Dalek Invasion of Earth one! That's one of my favourite classic episodes and now I can express my love for it with an awesome wallpaper! ^ _^

[–]winter_soul7Tennant 0 points1 point ago

This is a brilliant collection. But like a lot of other commenters here, I'm wondering how you can download all of them and not just one folder of 17 images. I've tried different layouts and clicking different download links but nothing lets me download more than 17 images. Help?

This is still amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[–]soundzombieTARDIS 0 points1 point ago

Would someone be willing to post a zip please? I only am getting like 15 or so with the imgur download link. :(

[–]cockwomble 0 points1 point ago

Excellent collection, thanks for sharing :)

[–]MordantSupernova 0 points1 point ago

[–]suddenly_awkwardSilence 0 points1 point ago

These are great, thanks! The Buffy one made me laugh. "Let's just randomly add in the doctor." "Sounds good, Bob!"

[–]aacool 0 points1 point ago

Nice ones, thank you

[–]VicYesterdaySmith 0 points1 point ago

I'd feed myself to Aragog's children if I had the chance to watch a "Doctor's Eleven" movie. The hi-jinks, the intense amount of frustration between each other, the fangirling over who they were and who they will become.

I need this movie. NOW.

[–]greendalekMcCoy 0 points1 point ago

Magnificent collection. I'm hard-pressed to pick a favourite; perhaps in a pinch I could manage a Top Fifteen list. Thank you.

[–]jiddiotic 0 points1 point ago

Fantastic collection of wallpapers DrHilarity, one small problem though, why can't I download the whole Imgur album? The Download link only downloads a few which isn't all that you have.

[–]DissonantAccordSmith 0 points1 point ago
