    Thumbs up Weapon Skin Desktop Backgrounds

    Hello Epic Gamers!

    Now that I have amassed a good few Weapon Skin designs over in my thread, I thought I'd collate them into a desktop background. I for one have never seen so many gridlines in Photoshop , but the end product is something I think I'm quite happy about, so here goes:

    I hope you all like it, and feel free to make any suggestions. I'm only a poor newb after all.

    I probably should mention that it's a 1440x900 image. You're free to use it if you want to (not sure anybody would!) but I thought I might as well share it with everybody regardless.

    Have a cracking day, exciting news on Monday!

    P.S. I don't know if I'll get around to making alternate sizes and resolutions at this stage. I think I'll wait and see. Thanks again guys.

    Very nice. Would actually like to see some of these become reality but based on announcement yesterday it doesn't look like it will happen for Gears 3.

    That wasn't my initial reaction to the news, but it's definitely something I thought about a little after the news sunk in. I never expected them to be used in game (except for a 0.00000001% faint hope for the simple recolours/Quartz) but now I know for sure, I thought I'd consolidate what I had and perhaps take a little break from uploading more.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I love your skins dude, but I'm too hyped for GoW4 so I'm using the teaser pic as my background

    That's why I made it ^^

    Consolidate what I have now that Gears 4 shtuff is buzzing, and maybe reset the batteries until we know more about what's to come. Almost an 'intermission-hurrah!'

    Don't be apologetic.

    Maybe they'll take inspiration from your skins for GoW4? Or maybe they won't bother with weapon skins for GoW4 making it a more nostalgic experience? Either way, it's a win-win situation

    Haha...unlikely. I've always said that I just do them because I enjoy Photoshop, but if it did have that effect, it would be quite overwhelming and humbling.

    *looks up at the stars (well....clouds) in yonder.

    Unlikely though. Far better out there than mine, but I'd love a nostalgic default again...I sometimes rock it nowadays and pretend I'm a bot

    Little rework added and included in the OP. Nothing major, just thought I'd balance out the red with a touch of blue, and give the skins a bit of order in the form of a lattice. Lattice is a bit strong, so I might have another play around with that.

    Thanks again everyone.

    --3 variants added (well...2 more variants, and a sub variant of the first variant)

    That was a funny sentence. ^
