User blog:~Boggy B~/New Background

Well, here it is, the new wiki background I've made, and though I like how the image itself turned out, I dislike the results of making it the background.

I'll mostly have to blame the stupid-ass image size limitations (300 kilobytes) implemented by the geniuses of Wikia, Inc. I mean, the original image was much larger, until I had to reduce its size using GIMP 2.8, and this is what came out. The image itself is far too small, but I tried to make it as large as I could to fit in with Wikia's restrictions. What I wanted was to make it a non-tiled image that fills the entire background, but nope. How did the previous background image fill the entire background without the need to make it tiled? I need to know.

More importantly, I'll have to say that even though the radioactive symbol pattern looks nice on the skin, it's a bit of a distraction to the background, it makes it hard to see the background's details, so we should probably make the radioactive symbols a bit more transparent. Not only that, but even with full transparency on for the skin, it's hard to focus on the background. We need a different skin color if we want it to fit in with the background.

Any suggestions?
