    I wasn't sure whether to post this in BG or CS, but I thought that it would be better received in the BG forum. Anyway, I made two Sarevok wallpapers. I thought I'd share them with ya.

    Let me know what you think.

    [​IMG] I'm unable to read the text on the left one ("Iron Throne"), despite of that the resolution is crappy, wallpapers should be at least 1600x1200 so every user may adjust them.

    But thanks anyway!

    I don't know where you got the idea that wallpapers should be 1600x1200. The majority of people use 800x600 or 1024x768. Offering images three times as big just so that most users would resize them is stupid. The normal thing to do is to provide 3 or 4 most commonly used resolutions.

    First off, I didn't want the text to be easy to read. It's just there as sort of filler. The only ones that I wanted read are "Sarevok" and "Bhaal".
    Second off, anyone who uses 1600x1200 res is going to be blind in a few hours. :rolleyes:
    I did 800x600 because I have dial-up (cause I live in rural Canada), so uploading a really big image would not work well. Besides, I use 1024x768 and the wallpaper looks fine.

    Well, I´m running 1600*1200 and have been doing so for years. Not blind yet.
    I´ve got a 21" screen though, might give me a year or two extra :D


    Anyway, nice work Chosen. Although I think maybe it would be more nice with a different background to get the feeling up on the picture alittle. Maybe some death and destruction or something.

    Yeah, but it's so hard to get decent destruction pics nowadays. The graphics in BG are so outdated that any screenshot looks bad, and it's hard to find good artwork that you can have as a whole background. Maybe a screen of him laying on the BG skull in the last video? I dunno.

    That would, after some thinking, probably be the best screenshot you could get. Or take one from the fight right outside his "hideout". It´s pretty dark and there´s some ruins plus the fight can get pretty heavy if you want to. Doesn´t have him in it though, but it could make as background anyway I think.
