NOTE : THIS MUST BE VIEWED AS A DESKTOP WALLPAPER TO BE FULLY APPRECIATED

I made this with orange lighting effects (helgast colours) and 3 seperate pics.

Random soldier on the right.

Please feel free to use this however you wish. (credit if you use it)

Sorry but that is one of the worst wallpapers that I have ever seen. Try adding something like a swirl in the bg or w/e and delete that huge black thing around the killzone render.

Try to make the wallpaper have a theme. I assume the renders were not colored the same as your BG, use the original colors and maybe blend a little bit. I dont think to soldier on the right matches with the killzone stuff. Thats a no-no in terms of having a theme. Also, try to use a color scheme that matches to that of the game. These are all design elements you should take into consideration when you want to produce something that appeals to the eye.

The background could use a little work, like a scenery.

While the second part of your comment IS constructive (relatively), try and refrain from saying things like that first sentence of yours, eh? I know, I know, its just you opinion, but if you don't have anything nice to say, then you don't have to say anything at all. Thanks. :D


Not a bad job on this wall....the bg is a bit simple, even for a simplistic wallpaper, not a bad job on the lighting effects thoguh....

Myself and other staff members here are a little tired of you and your nasty comments, besides the complaints received. Have fun and see you next year please come back with a better attitude.

I don't know if I would consider this an actual wallpaper; the reason being that it is simply too small.

The gradient background seems to be out of contrast with the other images, and the soldier at the bottom-right seems too dark.

On a side note; thank you for suspending that user's membership Donna. :D

It's pretty nice, I can see some areas where you could possible improve on.

With the Killzone side, the area where you have brought out the smudge effect has too defined edges, they are just sitting on top of the background and look out of place. The bottom Killzone render is the same as the black area, the edges are not blended enough and come out on top of the background.

The random soldier on the right could do with some work, try this:

Ctrl + J - Duplicate Render
Bottom render layer - Fliter -> Blur -> Motion Blur - Distance 20 - Angle 0

That's a really helpful blend and should help it blend a little more.

With the rest of the background, try adding something else, like a game name "Killzone" or your name to fill up the gap. Looks to empty compared to the rest.

Hope that help and good luck with the rest of your work. :unsure:
