I've basically been wanting to do this for months, but never got around to it. I wanted to create a good background featuring the HL2 logo, but not obscuer the scene, and be something better than a flat image. I couldn't think of anything untill I saw Cinematech, on G4, and one video of the newest elderscrolls. One scene of a fantstic fountain, at the purfect angle, and the narative adventurative voice, eventually inspired me to make a c**ked HL2 wall. (It was actually many other thing before its final product.)
As with before, better quality for better judgement. Because with the posting changes, The links to both size walls are underneath the pic. Feel free to share. Enjoy!

IMO, the transition is just too sudden. Maybe have the edges where the symbol and ground meet be a little rough, or make the grey plane sort of bumpier like water or somthing.

Otherwise, I love it. Very cool, just that one little thing.

I'd use a HL2 effect to do the grey, to give it the impression of being HL2!

What i was thinking on saying, maybe needs a couple of ripple's or something that doesnt make it "clean cut".




Yes, My spelling is still terrible!

I saw a vat of 500 degree Aluminum a few weeks ago. See if you can find some pctures of that and make the symbole dipping into that. Its got a super shiny but not reflective quality.

and put some liquid metal spatters on the logo, and give the logo a more wethered look.

hehe I like red a lot. i think im gonna try out a blue and grey theme next though.

I make a wallpaper then screw around with the color values with windows classic theme. much quicker to test themes

I know its been a while, but I've finnally updated the image. I actually did it weeks ago, but the same day I got UT2k4 the very same day. Combined with work and dial up, its been a hassle.
