Well, I found the background image I was looking for, pretty much. I'm not sure what surprises me more... that someone actually did a piece of artwork involving a hermaphroditic blend of Baphomet and Shub-Niggurath... or that the artist (Orryelle) is a friend of one of my closest friends ([livejournal.com profile] rialian). My only concern is that it's a bit TOO overtly sexual... I was looking for something a bit more provocative than outright spooge-y... but it will serve for the time being, at any rate. Although... hmm, now that I'm browsing through the rest of Orryelle's work, this one might be a bit closer to what I had in mind: http://crossroads.wild.net.au/ardhanarishvara.htm The entire concept of the horned hermaphrodite intrigues me, and merges well with elements of my personal mythos. No pun intended.

Well, I fooled around a bit with the second image by Orryelle, wanted it a bit more personalized... ended up inverting it, then colorizing it to match the background on my system. This is the final result: http://tinyurl.com/8c8nx

All in all, I think it turned out well. Certainly suits my purposes.
