Some new TR wallpapers

Stalker · Post by **Stalker** » Thu Mar 16, 2006 4:07 pm

I've been working on some new Ob-styled (more or less) TR wallpapers. Here's something I've came up with as "design version" of sorts. To show the general idea. I'm not entirerly satisfired with this one but I would like to hear comments.

Its a good idea, but when people download wallpaper, it usually has to be something slightly (emphasis on slightly) more flashy (in my experiance at least).

If the homonculus were coloured (even subtly) by one of our artists, and the background had more variation/pattern in tone and colour to make it less flat, it would be far more appealing... to me at least

I do like the idea of having several concept arts as wallpaper though. A short while ago I was using Zeph's Hammerfell map (without names since they didn't show up well considering the sheer size of it) modified in an orange/brown hue as my background. You could do something to that effect as well.

I kind of like the plain, sketch feel. I'm shure that was intentional.

Homunculus was randomly chosen really. But I wanted it to be more sketchy too, yeah.

personally some design notes would really make it stand out and give it that plan feel

Dwermert Airship plans, Dwermer Scarab plans, Dwermer Homunculus plans!

What font did you use for Tamriel rebuilt because it doen't look like the normal one used.

the background looks to perfect (one can see the tiling patern) maybe use a real scroll for background(if one cna be found)?

This is nice, but aren't the loading screens sketches of the area that loads?

It'd be nice to see some city-specific sketchings for loading screens.

Nat, I think these wallpapers are more for public release in order to get more media and attention for Tamriel Rebuilt? Something of the like anyhow.

...although now that I think about it, I can see where you are coming from, with the loading screens showing the area about to be loaded and the smaller more detailed box in the middle, like on the demo...

In that case I dunno, it could be something like that. I'm not fully sure what Stalker means by Oblivion style wallpaper.

Ooo pretty. Don't I feel honored

Those are wallpapers. For desktop. Splash screens will come later.

Try burning it with different shades... like an old piece of parchement.

Stalker, might I play around with it a bit?

Of course. Need PSD file ?

Yes, a PSD would be wonderful to have, but not essential.

Here's a PSD.

Actually, I have real old caligraphy parchment, want me to burn the edges and scan a sheet?

It'll be better if you tried working it out on computer. No need to burn the paper for some wallpaper. Yes, sounds odd

Hayden · Post by **Hayden** » Tue Mar 21, 2006 8:28 am

I've had this done for a few days, but am just now getting around to posting it. It maybe be a bit rough, but I can do some more with it, if need be.

The problem with using Dwemeri-styled theme is because Homunculus was a random concept from the gallery I've chosen. Next day it could be a boar for example. That's why I would like to go with unified look.

Orix · Post by **Orix** » Tue Mar 21, 2006 9:11 am

It looks quite good Hayden, although I think you went a little over board with the burning personally, adn the dwemer writing also adds a lot fo the design, but perhaps it could be more structured? Like in the form of notes to the side of the concept?

Aye, obviously this wouldn't be the style for every concept wallpaper, but it would be nice to have some variation on visual features, apart form the concept itself.
