  The “shares its profits with the artists” part is relevant here.

    It would almost be cheaper to commission an artist frankly.

      Almost is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence.

        Nah it’d be cheaper to commission the artist for a dozen or so pictures for 45 bucks:

        First you need to blow some ungodly amount of money on breaking the time/space barrier… Then travel back to the 1920s and find a starving artist. Then pitch him 45 bucks for some art. Easy! 45 bucks to them is like 800 of our today dollars.

        Sarcasm aside- it seems people really are disconnected on how much a commission or art costs. Sure you can buy prints reasonably priced but any commission that isn’t a speedy doodle is going to clock in a helluva lot higher.

      For a single piece sure.

      I presume the idea here is that you have access to their full library. Personally, I fail to see why I would change my wallpaper enough to warrant even a free app to change it, let alone 50 bucks.

      If you know an artist doing commissions that cheap they are depressed, desperate, or want to fuck you.

        But that’s the best type of artist

      Just use a few wallpaper app and pay a random artist 25 bucks

    I’m an artist who has uploaded many of my works to wallhaven entirely for free alongside the games I put out and any other creative venture I’ve pursued over the years.

    That part is problematic not relevant.

      okay, cool, but I am going to assume you don’t speak for all artists.

        No one speaks for all X.

  Use Muzei and either curate your own collection or pull in one of their pre-made ones.

  This. Hell you can generate literally endless wallpapers for free.

    The wallpapers are nice but the side is hideous and unusable.

    source

    • fjordbasa@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Which side?

        Typo, my bed
