silentknight329 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 ... ok you win.. that is crazy good... u use photoshop or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 ... ok you win.. that is crazy good... u use photoshop or what? Yeah, photoshop. But the image itself is nothing special. I am thinking of just going 2 color with some gradients black and white and removing the flames. I am probalby going to redo the dragon, as its a modified vector shape version of one I found on google. Just a mock up. The orginal artists image is here: For the final I will make my own dragon with the pen tool in PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pritchard9 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Wow, digip, that is crazy-awesome (I really wanted to use that phrase. Please dont judge..) Seriously. Wish I could do stuff like that. My creativity in the artistic department stops at around stick figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 2 more I submitted. The third one is probably going to be the direction I go in. 2 tone colors, maybe with a splash or bright orange or red to keep with previous backtrack wallpapers and offensive security website colors of black and orange. -image removed- I had to remove all the images, because some people were defacing websites and hotlinking th eimages from my site!

digip Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I was actually going for the 8bit retro look with the text on the one, so yeah, its sort of video game text, but that was my goal. Its an 8-bit explosion. It was suggested to me on the back track forums to make the same one with the other text, so here it is. I am glad people like the wallpapers. Any ideas you have, please let me know so I can work on them for the contest. -image removed- I had to remove all the images, because some people were defacing websites and hotlinking th eimages from my site!

bitbad Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 The first one you posted was really good, how about something in a similar style to that one ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 The first one you posted was really good, how about something in a similar style to that one ? Yeah, I like that one too, but the more I made the more they asked me to make it simpler. I have a feeling they are going to just want text against a black background with a little dragon pic to the side, like they already have now. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seshan Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 Yeah, I like that one too, but the more I made the more they asked me to make it simpler. I have a feeling they are going to just want text against a black background with a little dragon pic to the side, like they already have now. :) Yeah that's the way they have been in bast versions too. You have to keep in mind that these will be going on many machines with all kinds of monitor sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 -image removed- I had to remove all the images, because some people were defacing websites and hotlinking th eimages from my site! Trying to keep them simple now. Concept is just "4". No need to say Back Track, since, the dragon is so iconic with Back Track, that it goes without saying.

TAPE Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Trying to keep them simple now. Concept is just "4". No need to say Back Track, since, the dragon is so iconic with Back Track, that it goes without saying. Actually those are pretty cool ! Quite like the concept of no Back Track text, but I am sure they will want it included.. ps. did you manage to get the full image of the dragon sent to you from anyone ? I would be interested to receive it myself if you have it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I would be interested to receive it myself if you have it.. I just used a wallpaper off google and then traced out what I wanted, modified what I didn't want. if you notice, the head on mine is completly different.

digip Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I know this is an old thread, but I had to remove all the images from my site, as someone was defacing other sites and hotlinking directly to the artwork from my site. If you go here, http://hewiz.com/ you can see what I mean. I replaced the image they used with a little message for them, so anyone who quoted my posts in this thread, please edit and remove the image links so i don't get any more 404's in my server logs. If anyone still wants the wallpapers, you can download them here: http://www.twistedpairrecords.com/digip/bt-wallpapers.rar in a rar file. Thanks, DigiP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
