Subject: Per Audacia Ad Astra - Desktop Wallpaper

Any way to get a desktop sized version of the Per Audacia Ad Astra image in the "See You Starside" homepage newsfeed?

Looks like just the right blend of awesome to adorn the background of my screen.

Looks like there isn't a official large image so I tried to make my own (link below). A few others made some great versions too throughout the topic. Hopefully we can get an official version from Bungie (crosses fingers).

Ok this is what i came up - went with more of a moon theme than earth. Seemed to fit better. Currently covering my desktop.

Here is the banner from that news article. It's a little small for a wallpaper though.

You could make a nice Android wallpaper out of it.

There is this.

And you could always extend the black area in a photo editing program. Or do any other modifications like pasting parts of the image to fill in other parts. Good luck!

So it looks like I'll need to make the a large scale reproduction myself. Hmmm...

The moonlike object and starfield will be easy but can anyone make out what the foreground map like area is?

I was thinking it might be a old nautical map - but I can't quite find something that looks similar to it online. Are the markings some sort of writing? or just trees and waves?

The foreground image is a picture of the world, more specifically the South Atlantic Ocean.

Does look like that - maybe something older though. Looks like in the picture the northern and southern american continents are closer together. Also maybe the markings are to show elevation?

cars, girls & cake all day everyday

When I first saw the banner my first thoughts were also trying to make a larger sized version.

From what I see in the image and know of maps, it looks like the markings are from a map that Bungie has made themselves. That being said, you could attempt to scrap edges from parts of the world map together (along with the grid) replicate those "dot and scratch" patterns inside the maps using your own brush made vector style, and everything else would be pretty obvious. (the brush you made would be put in at a smaller size to get that "sand" at the top...if you made it right)

I have an idea that might work... But it may look slightly different...

Not much one can do with a small size banner.

That's cool but it's soooo small. My screen is 1080... :(

EDIT: Nevermind, it doesn't actually look too bad when it's blown up a little.

Hello! You may also know me as Ijnekono. How you have made your way here I do not know, but welcome. (:

I think a collage should be made! That way the banner can be in it, just blended in with a whole bunch of other cool Halo/Bungie art.
Edit: I don't have good image editing software, so I can't unless MS Paint would work... :/

I think that banner is part of a star chart.

Here is one, enjoy.

It should be noted that it is fan made... and I hope people never spread this around as official. I would feel bad.

Also note that you will have to set the size for yourself...

Nice, it's a photobucket link, so don't worry.

You should overlay some semi-transparent stars, like the original.
