New Desktop Wallpaper: KARR Lives!

Post by FuzzieDice » Thu Oct 06, 2005 2:01 am

I don't know why but I got inspired a bit to make a new wallpaper:

It actually looks MUCH better full size. A lot of detail gets missed in a preview.

Thanks, KnightBuck. :) KARR is a dark character, so I guess that's why it turned out so dark. Though maybe a bit too dark perhaps? If I get a chance, I still have the layered file - some day maybe I'll see about fixing it up a little.

Nice work, FuzzieDice :D In my opinion, it's only too dark :?

Now I have two votes to go fix it up. :lol: Too tired tonight but bump this tomorrow and remind me or PM me? I have work tomorrow, though, but if I'm feeling up to it after work tomorrow I might give it a go.

I was working today at my PC during the daylight hours and when I looked at my desktop (which the wallpaper is on) and it did seem rather dark.

Plus, I did adjust my monitor gamma so it might be that things are looking brighter on my LCD screen than anyone else's.

But at night time, when there's no other lighting, it looked bright enough. I guess that's not a great time to do graphics. :?

Ok, I've fixed it. Let me know if this is any better, guys. If you don't see the new preview in my new post or on my web site, reload the browser (CTRL+hit the reload icon). I've added a different color background and redone the pictures. I also created a new license plate. Yup, I did one of "KNIGHT" too. :) I forgot to put those on my site though. Maybe soon...

I like it a lot! But why mess with the license plate if you had a picture of the real one, may I ask? Nice work, FuzzieDice.

Because my picture of the real one wasn't all that clear or good and thus I thought looked rather pixelated (It was very TINY and I had to enlarge the size, thus making the quality of the image worse). I thought I'd just make a new one. I wish I had a nice authentic looking KNIGHT and KARR license plates of decent size to use in pictures, say at least 300 pixels wide by proportion.

Thanks for the compliments. I am noticing it is easier to see now in daylight on my desktop. :)
