I think you missed the joke as in what I used to refer to you as before I realized I had your user name wrong.
50MB is pretty hefty for a wallpaper - don't forget you can crop to your screen resolution and drop to 72DPI which should bring it down to less than 2MB for a png. And forgive me if you know and have already done all this
I always downsize the pixel count to 72ppi for on-screen viewing.
And no need for apologies or forgiveness, it's awesome that people in this community pay attention to details like that... I love it!
I'll package some up, and upload them onto DA probably. 'Probably' is referring to which site I choose, I'll get the photos up sometime this week, as I have some downtime. I also have some other edited versions of the ice macro photo, and other various treats.
This made me LOL. The nose knows where the nose goes.

Oh I got the joke!
That is what the yes was for in my response. The second part was because some people knew that my G5 was at school.
Oh, ok, I got you!Oh I got the joke!

And I just had a bit of time to tinker around and install Erik's black Mac OS X theme mentioned here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1709883/

Alright, wallpapers for all! There's both requested photos and some hopefully pleasant surprises.
Enjoy! Gallery here: -> http://xernicus.deviantart.com/

Here is my wallpaper on my 1.5GHz 15" PowerBook G4, still my daily laptop in school and sometimes at home, alongside my Retina MacBook Pro and my G4 QuickSilver (same wallpaper).
I'd like to add that's awesome to see someone still using Tiger as his main and only OS on a PowerPC machine. I love PowerPC and I love Tiger (even though I use Leopard mainly).

Sawtooth w/ OWC 1GHz upgrade
Bought this Other World Computing 1-GHz cpu upgrade years ago.
I think it cost ~ $220
Sawtooth was originally 400MHz.
IIRC the PC vid card was originally a 9700 non-Pro 128MB.
It shows up as a 9800 Pro in the ASP.
I used a PC to flash it for Mac.
A flashed Sil3112 SATA card
(per harrymatic instructions) connects a 149.5 GB drive (Partitioned).
Desktop Manager 0.5.3 freeware makes for multiple desktops
(the line-up of 4 rectangles plus its prefs icon just left of MenuMeters).
ffmpegx is crunching out a possible DVD image,
but whether I set up the configs correctly - only in many hours will I be sure
Tomb Raider 2013 screenshot makes the desktop. Love this game!
I play TR on Bootcamp in my beat-up MacPro 1,1 with a Radeon 5770
(Professionally flashed).
Unfortunately, my MacPro 1,1 suffered that fairly common issue of the
lower mobo RAM slot becoming defective causing random blackouts & reboots.
So now it just works with 2 x 2 GB RAM on the daughter card in the top slot.

Where did you get that wallpaper? It's just... awesome!
My other computers run Linux so I spend some time browsing Gnome-Look.org. You can get that wallpaper here: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/WorldMap+Blue+Orange+Red+Green+Purple?content=81575
