Subject: Duardo's Epic Photoshops

I sent Duardo a request to make a desktop background for me, and last night over MSN he finally got around to doing it. In fact, the desktops were so overly awesome I decided to share them all with you.

First, I told him to take this image, a picture of a dragon wrapped around a Ying and Yang symbol, and put the marathon and septagon symbol inside it. Here are his results:

Septagon Emblem

Marathon Emblem

and last but not least, a .gif of the Septagon and Marathon interchanging.

All credit goes to Duardo and his shop skills, but I wanted to share with the community. Enjoy!

There's a word for what I am, but I can't pronounce it.

BFA, CCS - olde and bony & one minute musings.

So that's what you were harassing him to do. ;)
Awesome, I'm so using these!

Thanks Duardo!

otherwise: great pics.

Well the picture originally had no relation to Bungie or its games at all, which is why I asked him to insert the septagon and marathon symbol. Now they are masterpieces!

Those are rather epic. Nuf' said.

Repeat after me: nobody from Microsoft or Xbox Live or Bungie will EVER ask you for your password. Ever. Anybody asking for your password (and probably your Windows Live ID login too) is trying to scam you.

Anytime you see such a message, immediately file a complaint via the dashboard tool on your Xbox, and then BLOCK the user.


Oh yes ladies and gents listen to the big A

*gasp*

logo's in the middle are the best part, but having something halo related other than dragons around it would give it more sense.

This is a constructive comment

I can do tons in photoshop, but whenever I try doing a glossy effect or glass effect it turns out mediocre. Nice job Duardo.

Those are pretty awesome. But you shouldn't have to ask an awesome forum mod to do the work for you. Half the reward is in the journey, not just the destination.
Durado, you managed some great photoshops! The Bungieesque symbols are merged seamlessly into the original picture. I love your layering of gradients and picture layers that create a feeling of unity between the photoshoped area and the rest of the image.

Well Enough Alone...

~"The people who play Bungie games tend to sense that there's something behind the games that's attractive to them. Then they become fans of the games. And then they become rabid fans. And then they become employees of Bungie."(Life story) -Marty

I don't care if t had dragons, it's still Epicness.
Oooo, I have an idea, take the marathon and septagon symbols and put them in the smaller circles of the ying yang, thus having all three at once.

If only I could learn intermediate skills in photoshop as easily as I did 3ds max. Why would photoshop be harder to learn then max?
Must be all those modeling tutorials on Halomaps.org.

Oh, and which do you guy's use and why, Adobe Photoshop, or Coral Pain Shop Pro? (and which version)

You need "DreamScene."

Also...you could say the dragon is "Phoenix" :D

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

Good stuff dude.

As far as I know, only Windows XP supports a .gif background. Any other operating system doesn't accept the format.

I hate Vista.

Nice job mate, I really wish I had your mad skillz. And thanks, this is so going on my desktop.

  • 01.18.2009 1:11 PM PDT

I have no opinion one way or the other.

Sweet. Thanks for these, Duardo. They are very sexy. :D
