AI-Generated Desktop Wallpapers

Artwork / by / Leave a Comment

Back in the early days of the Internet, circa 1999, desktop wallpapers were one of the most popular things to download. All the big companies had free desktop wallpapers you could download from their websites (of course, their logos were displayed prominently on the free wallpapers). I remember at the time I would get my desktop wallpapers from a website called “Digital Blasphemy” (still around today, still making really cool desktop wallpapers).

These days, the easiest way to get really cool desktop wallpapers is by creating AI-generated art. I like using DreamStudio because it lets you set pixel dimensions and upscale generated images.

Here are some of the recent desktop wallpapers I generated using DreamStudio. I’ve included the exact prompts I used with each image. Click the images to download the full-sized version to use as your own desktop wallpaper (or, right-click and select “Save link as…”).

Prompt: “A dark painting of weathered and worn golden pole, standing amid a bleak and desolate landscape, cracked sun-baked earth, a storm brewing in the distance”
Prompt: “A dark painting of a ruined and overgrown abandoned medieval castle in the forest”
Prompt: “A dark painting of the post-apocalyptic ruins of Washington, D.C. in the year 2048”
Prompt: “A dark painting of ancient ruins next to an enchanted pond in a dark forest”
Prompt: “A dark oil painting of a long leaf-covered path going through a dense forest of trees with colored autumn leaves, on a gloomy foggy morning.”
Prompt: “A dark oil painting of a winter storm blowing through a mountainous pass obscuring the ruins of a castle in a distance”
Prompt: “A dark oil painting of a blizzard blowing through a mountainous pass with whiteout conditions and you can see the silhouette of the ruins of a castle in a distance through the blowing snowfall”
