Well I've eventually learned how to use photoshop, and well I can't stay away from it now, so I've spent the last few weeks (on and off) making this wallpaper for you all.

Heres the linky - <a href='http://www.nse.nssource.co.uk/ns3backdrop/' target='_blank'>teh sexy wallpaper</a> (hopefully those resolutions should keep most of you happy, sorry I cant make the image in any other proportions and any bigger than 1400 because of the size of the original screenshots <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->)

(I hope you all notice my little tribute to bast, probably my second favorite map, only beaten by nancy <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->)

And Thank you to Cory "Squeal Like a Pig" Strader, for letting me use his amazing hand drawn marine.

Hope you all enjoy it.

    Oooooh, very nice. I like the borders and the red cropped Onos. *thumbs up* <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Thanx guys for the feedback, I tried removing the marine but it just looks really bland, I like the marine there, hes not supposed to look apart of the background <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

    Yeah I liked the onos there, took ages to get looking as good as it does, any hints on getting it to blend in with the background a little better?

    Anyway I'm going to try and work on some other desktops.

    I think the Onos's shadow is a very nice touch. As for blending in, maybe you could make the monster just a tiny bit more blurred. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Wow! I cant believe you even noticed the shadow, I only put it in as an experiment to see if i could make a shadow, Ill give the blurryness a go later, now i have to go for some munchies <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    lol, a skulk had them for lunch <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I like it as it is now, but if I had to change it, here's what I'd do-

    0 Put in some shooting shotgun light armored rine for the Onos to be eatin'.
    0 Make the Marine on the left more dangerous looking somehow, it kinda looks like he's posing (maybe use a different source 'Rine)
    0 Maybe a Skulk on the ceiling or something, just so everyone knows that 'Rine is boot fooked.

    Like I said before, it's awesome now. Those are changes I would make if I had to change it.

    P.S. Blurrage = No, please. Sharp Onos == Dangerous Onos

    yeah i was thinking about the skulk thing, but meh, tbh its not worth the time, took me 2 hours to cut that onos out <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Two hours? ... You've got some nerves... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
  • nightdragonnightdragon Join Date: 2003-01-05 Member: 11848Members, Constellation
    Thats awsome, using now

    Makes a nice replacement for my TSA Matrix wallpaper.
  • Jabba_The_HuntJabba_The_Hunt Join Date: 2003-01-05 Member: 11850Members
    wow cool atleast someones said they are actually using it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

    Yeah well it took about 30mins to cut out with the magnetic lasso tool and then another hour and a half to go round with a brush getting rid of all the extra crap

    The marine was a lot quicker because, well hes smaller and the shape is easier, though getting rid of that laser took forever <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    anyway thanx everyone for the support, im gonna try and make a "Natural Selection Combat" wallpaper now, want to see if i can make that cool metalic effect used on the Combat text. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> .

    Does anyone know how to get rid of the hud (specifically the crosshair) so i can get some nice screenies?
  • nightdragonnightdragon Join Date: 2003-01-05 Member: 11848Members, Constellation
    Im not sure, I think if u press the - button by default is decreases the HUD size, but not sure if thats right for HL mods
  • BigDBigD [OldF] Join Date: 2002-10-25 Member: 1596Members
    I'm using it. I really like the sharp contrast between the red and the blue. Looks real good. You're choice of location in that map is great too. And the onos just fits, I think it looks good, like it's actually standing there (and not cut and pasted onto there).

    Great work fella!
  • Jabba_The_HuntJabba_The_Hunt Join Date: 2003-01-05 Member: 11850Members
    Thanx, a lot of other people have commeted about the red and blue working really well together, I was actually quite surprised how well they contrast each other, I'm gonna try and make one off the core/mineshaft colour now.
  • nightdragonnightdragon Join Date: 2003-01-05 Member: 11848Members, Constellation
    Well if its going to be a Combat wallpaper, shouldnt you use a combat map?

    Jabba, next time you cut something out in photoshop, try using the magic wand tool and then using a largish (about 40-50 px) to smooth out the edges with the background colour you want, ends up giving off some nice looking edges and you don't need to have the steadiest of hands to do it either.

    I suggest using "Extract" (Filter > Extract or Alt+Ctrl+X). Much easier and faster <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
