The only thing that can kill Rambo is old age!

So, some of you probably saw my first Skydiving ODST, and if you havn't the link is right below.

Skydiving ODST V1

Only this time I've added two new versions of it which I think you guys will like more than the first one.

Skydiving ODST V2

For the second version, I didn't really change the essence of the wallpaper, I simply made it most believable, by adding some clouds here and here, changing the position of the second ODST and his percentage of blur. I also change the contrast for the background and the visor.

Skydiving ODST V3

i love this one. I really feel like I managed to make it more intense, which was my goal for this one. I'm not gonna list all the changes since they are pretty apparent. :)

Comments and criticism are appreciated.

Enjoy!


I've got some sweet ideas I'm gonna get to as soon as school ends, well tomorrow.

I know what you mean... I had a problem with the smaller ODST guy but I changed it. Check it out now.

Also it might just be your screen or the angle your looking at it because I considered the lighting as an issue , but it seemed fine. I seriously think it was the ODST guy that was too dark and too out of focus.

V3 is . . .
FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!

I love the small changes you made from the original. And, I also love the big changes.
The red filter really gives it a chaotic and epic feel and emotion. As does the crashing pelican.
And the subtle changes add a great touch and more realism to the picture.

You, my friend, get 100 billion stars!!

I actually kinda don't like it. I think a better skydiving pose from that height would be the arms at sides w/ huge wind resistance (Kinda like a crashing meteor but w/o fire). From this angle, it appears that they are skydiving as in the sport of. (Meaning regular civilians who skydive for fun and spread their arms to slow down) Anyways

As far as Pic Detail goes: 5/5
Theme: 3.5/5 (Don't take it the wrong way, but I think the theme could use some work)
Characters: 10/5 ODST For The Win!

No ofeense taken, I completely understand what you mean. But cmon dude. It was hard enough to get a pic with the ODST in that pose. It was seriously the best pose I could get out of the OSDTs. If your gonna hate on somethin, hate on the quality of the wallpaper, not the pose. I didn't have very much control over that.

Hey, wasn't this in the Bungie Blog?

Well, if it wasn't, then it should be. ;)

This was a brilliant idea, brilliantly-executed.

Thanks Caus. But you should know that I don't deserve to make the Bungie Blog if you still haven't.
