Ludo38 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 I've wanted to make wallpapers from the 2 box-arts I've design recently (to see in this topic)Both are 1600x1200. Made on Gimp + Inkscape.I think wallpapers are one of the many fun ways we can spread the spirit of the game. Fans like to have stuffs to download ! And the Wallpapers section of the upcoming site needs some recent stuffs, indeed!ASAP, I will work on some other visuals for the box-art, trying to cover the whole span of the game's civilizations. By the way, don't hesitate to suggest me good photo material from ancient art that represents battles! I believe it's going to be hard for the Celts, who don't seem to have much pictured themself fighting. I'd love to give a try on a Mauryan box-art. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishFTW Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Great work dude Not only can this go to the website wallpapers gallery but perhaps shared through the next weekly report to the fans (But then it would be a periodic thing... how about three wallpapers a month?)

No, I think one per month would be largely enough, even less. But sure, if these two first can serve the Weekly Report, that would be cool. I see that as an introduction to the box-art that is going to appear in various spots of the web soon, like on Gameolith and who knows, Valve's Steam !

Mythos_Ruler Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Perhaps some different sizes? 1920x1080 is what I use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo38 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Perhaps some different sizes? 1920x1080 is what I use.I can arrange that, sure. As an example, I see that on AOE-Online's site they provide up to 9 different sizes of wallpapers ! That's a lot!I suggest we limit to 3 or 4 sizes, corresponding to all the needed ratios of screens. I'll think that in detail soon. Now here it's time to sleep.Any suggestion is welcome of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feneur Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Nice is probably a few compared to all the possible resolutions Especially if we take into account things like smartphones and tablets which adds even more sizes (and I would assume quite a few of them are non-standard ratios ).I don't say we have to offer wallpapers in all possible resolutions, but the more the merrier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo38 Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 A new (and very simple) one :1600x1200 again. First I produce a good bunch of new wallpapers, and later I will convert them to various sizes.This one uses the texture of the website's background. FYI, this is a rock texture I shot in Greece this summer In Delfi if I remember well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo38 Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Another one, dedicated to the Celts and to the art of the game.If someone can send me a high quality version of the Celt hero artwork, that would be helpful, so I can make that wallpaper in much better quality. For now it is much too blurry on the character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shield Bearer Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Here are some I made 1440x9001600x1200 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo38 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 @ShieldBearer : Waow, I love it !! Beautiful screenshot and very nice layout. Feel free to make several more like that ! What font are you using for the "History..." sentence ?I put it in the new website right now. If you don't mind, for now I only put the 1600x1200 version, and later, when we find a good way to offer various sizes in the gallery with a thumbnail+list, we'll update the other one, and why not some more sizes on this same wallpaper.

Pureon Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 We should use the official font for all the wallpapers. Otherwise we loose the design cohesion we've been trying to achieve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo38 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 And another one ! (edit : picture version updated)I will very soon make one with horizontal stripes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo38 Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Now horizontal stripes, with the name of each faction !I've tried a different catch sentence. What do you think of it ?(edit : updated the picture version, with Romans and Hellenic factions at the right place) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo38 Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 And again a new one ! A recent Mauryan shot I did. I added a slightly fade of purple in the stop right to have a less white sky. I thought it's more in harmony with the building's tone.

Shield Bearer Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 I would use Hellenic States instead of faction and Celtic Tribes. Sounds more natural like that. Looks pretty good though I'll make some more when I get some ideas for screenshots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
