instead of posting this in the media forum, i thought i would up the ante a bit..

currently i am using the generic blue background for work...not cool... i need a new background and want it custom made for the Tron...

Price: Microsoft Point Card 800-1600 (havent decided)

things i like...

... take a look at graf1k's sigs and media...real simple stuff, but it looks clean as hell... i would like something like that... (the plusses are sweet too)

... i dont want any woman or anything remotely dirty, i work for my father-in-law and try to stay on the up and up...

... i want the word TRON somewhere in it

... i like light blues, dark blues and black...but im really looking for something creative but not futuristically retarded.


Have any questions let me know...there is no time limit, but the first one i like wins!

im actually a bigger rudi johnson fan... and realistically, the desktop without the chad johnson would be fine as well... its actually pretty sweet, but dont worry, there is no limit on how many entries and i wont pick a winner until friday... and it will be 1600 points...

I'm oblivious to why you fools have even tried comparing with my godly skills.

I present you with Tron Paper v1.1

Well, I've just noticed that the couch is incomplete. But since this art, I believe mistakes should be left in the original.

However, I do have a file without "Tron" in it for all of those who would like to use ths stellar background.

Background w/o Tron here (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/6778/xbox/x360a/Untitled-1.jpg).

xJoex
05-17-2007, 04:14 PM
Haha @ Razzles! I just might use that (w/o Tron)

graf1k, i really like that backround! I think its the Bengles?... but i might be wrong... im not to good at remembering American Football teams. + how do you do the arrows? i would like to use effects like that in some of the things i am doing at school atm.:D

Yeah that's definitely the easier way to do it. For some reason though I totally forgot that myself and made those arrows with the shape tool. :eek:

A couple of good entries, I wish I had some time to join in the fun but I don't know if I could force myself to make a fancy Reds or Bengals one like Graf1k did ;)

Also, guys E did post what the dimensions should be, so re-read the thread.

Slormer

(it's ALL vector! no pixels! :) )

Double Post, because i CAN :).

and the winner is.... Graf1k!

Shaaady, i loved your desktop, and if it didnt have the squigly lines in the middle it would have won hands down...

Stobaugh, yours looked really good as well, but in the end, Graf1k made it happen... your code is on the way brother...


Thanks guys
