Vendetta Online Wallpapers

Oct 18, 2004 roguelazer link
I have had Crackintosh's Vendetta wallpaper as my screen background for a long time. But, although it is very well composed, it is showing its age. So I put my uber-noob skills to poor use and made my own. Here they are, as they may be.

Looks cool, but if I may say...

The font needs a little work, it looks kind of boring, I'd put on a little more antialiasing and start with a source image which is as large as you can render at. The "Choose your alignment wisely" should be red/blue/yellow, not RGB.

Sorry, I'm a perfectionist..(on other peoples stuff anyways) They do look great!

Heh. I used "Vendetta Chat" font for some of 'em, and various others for others. No real contignuity. :P When I get to my other comp, I'll post the SVG files, and you can all play with it to your heart's content.

Nice rougelazer.

I currently have these 3 for my desktop backgrounds:

Id put pretty text in them, but I don't have paintshop, and I probably lack the skills anyway. I hate text in backgrounds anyway :P.

Actually, mine were all done with Inkscape and the GIMP. :P

I like http://img77.exs.cx/img77/520/Desktop20.jpg do you mind if I, um, borrow it?

If you place my name all over the roids, space, small stars and the green area, then sure :P

Nah j/k.

If your going to "Borrow" it, I want a small 'RX' on it somewhere, even if its .5 size. :D :D :D :D

Here's some screens I made back when we were still the Legion of Prometheus. I think I'll update them tonight.

/me demands 1280x1024 resolution for all of these pictures!

/me is part of a dying breed!

Roar!
:)

Edit: especially Rogue's. Some of those are really cool.

'cept they're in 1024x768 because this monitor maxes at 1024x768. My 1280x1024-capable monitor broke a desk, and had to be gotten rid of.

>>Which one?

All of em. :)

Are there any GIMP tutorials? :S

I need to learn how to use it. Im too dumb to know that the paintbrush like icon paints on an image :P

Bleh, I can't beleive I missed the tutorial part of gimp.org...

Thanks again....

Here is one I whipped up real quick -- http://student.claytonstate.net/~csu10066/files/vendetta/wallpaper1.png

*Edit*
Sorry, I can't do any better than 1024x768. My monitor limits me to that resolution *sigh*.
