Subject: My Gimp'ed Halo Reach custom box art. - EDITED

hello

I noticed the Master Chief helmet there from the Halo 3 cinematic trailer, what has that got to do with Reach?

Beware the smiley face! =D

Considering Gimp sucks a bit compared to photoshop, its quite good. Back and spine were not great but the front looked nice =D

Ah,
You noticed the 'starry night' shot.
Yes, I used that because of the way it looks more like the helmet of a fallen Spartan,
And because Reach is where the Spartans became what they had been moulded into.

I think, juidging by the PM I got that I should make the spine black and move the main lines on the front to the back, as is done in Halo 3.

The program is only as good as the person using it. Someone could build something amazing in Gimp if they were good at it, and the same goes for photoshop.

Anyway...I can see where you've done some cloning on the front cover (it's not very clean), and the picture is a bit too blurry. Not too much I can see wrong though.

Yeah, that was mainly due to getting the transparancy and the blending right,
I could find a way to lock the transparancy to around the text keeping it in front of the image.
I'm getting there though...
