About Me
Hey, my name is Travis. I have played vidja games since I was a wee lad, growing up on the N64, followed by the Saturn, Dreamcast, Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, and lastly, the PSTriples. I think this is the start of a beautiful relationship.

Scrixx owes me 5 dollars. NEVAR FORGET.

Delicious Destructoid Wallpaper: Finally Posted
T-rav | 5:33 PM on 07.25.2008 20 comments




I have decided to finally post the Destructoid wallpaper that I had mentioned in my previous post on the "Metal Gear?!" wallpaper and E3 blog. Ready for an unnecessary amount of words? I am, so let's get into it and GIT SOME!

I finished this wallpaper about 2 weeks ago, but due to circumstances beyond my control, I have held off on the post to introduce it to you, the community, up until now. This was inspired by my previous wallpaper as it was created much in the same way. Similar style and technique was used but on a more complex scale. At first I didn't think I had the chops to make something that would reach my own expectations set forth by myself, for myself. However, I am happy with the final outcome.

I couldn't decide whether to make the background glow green to match the theme of the D-toid logo overall, or to use a somewhat striking red to accentuate the eye's of Mr. Destructoid. The red glow could also add further emphasis on the idea of "The Destructoid Army" that is found throughout Niero's posts, as well as community members'-- it is a rather commanding color, after all. In a way, the red represents the community itself.

Did I go too deep? Probably.

The specs are: --1600x1200 (That is my desktop size. if you want something specific, let me know, and I'll tweak it.) --Two color options: ravishing red and gripping green for the color connoisseur in you (I lol'd).

Thanks for all the support! Also, Cowzilla3, I don't really know if Hamza has a place for wallpapers and such, but I might PM him to find out. Many thanks.

Oh wow, that is hot. Any plans on making widescreen versions? i.e. 1440x900, 1680x1050, 1920x1200? I would totally sport this wallpaper on my desktop at quakecon if I had a 1680x1050 version.

1680x1050 version, eh? Alright, I'll get on that once I finish my essay for skewl, which will hopefully be soon. Procrastination FTW! Should I post it here as an edit or as a new blog when I finish?

Whichever is more convenient for you. I'll check this post to see if you've updated, but I'm sure a lot of people on widescreens would probably love to see a widescreen version of this wallpaper, so making a new blog post might get more attention.

Okay, so I stopped failing and finally made the size you requested, along with the 1440x900 version. I posted it in my most recent blog.
