I got bored this morning, so I thought I'd try and make something good enough for submission...

Its crap, I know...><

Sorry for the Photobucket link, but Imageshack is an arse when it comes to uploading anything bigger than 500px x 500px for me...my computer is worthless. And Tinypic cuts quality horribly.

I might try making something Serene somewhen...I like her more than Cierra anyway. XD

I am going to stress again, too many images makes wallpaper bad.


The main focal point needs to be more prominent, but the level of interested in the background has to be maintained here. Your wallpapers look all over the place instead of having something clearly expressed.

It'll also help if you try to throw a proper theme in. Random textures for the background and filmstrips don't associate to Riviera characters.


EG:

Doin it rite

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/Litc...Wallpaper02.jpg

1 image of Samus. Everything else is a mechanical, minor DNAish sort of effect feel (suits Metroid).

Has a split to allow some variation in the center.


Doin it rong

4 pictures of the game with no correlation and a black background. Nothing interesting.


The latter is what you're doing basically. And don't bullshit me you don't have the effects to do that. All it is is saturating and colorizing the main image, throwing a hexagonal filter that has a reverse radial blur, text with minor motion blur and a gradient to transparency.

The crosshair, I'm not ENTIRELY sure on though. The image would be just as good without it however.
