Finally submitted my first wallpaper. I did a bit more trouble for it than I originally intended, but Konoko looks pretty good. If I say so myself.
Some cool entries there, but here's to a few more non-Halo related wallpapers. :)

Submitted mine. To note, I made mine completely from scratch. No images from anywhere. All handmade in Photoshop... on a Mac.

EDIT: Whoever replies to the "Contact Us," check soon, or right now. It's quite urgent.

Some of those entries are really, really good. I'm jealous of skills.

Maybe there will be a video contest someday, and you can win that.

I love everyones entree's and I can see its going to be a tough competition.

Here's Mine

Please refrain from any negative feedback... I dont like it when people speak bad of my heart and soul ;) (to several hours to make... alot of trial and error!)

(I do like constructive critizism though.)

[also note that something is hidden in the picture... perhaps the naked eye cannot see it... or rather, the naked moniter....]

Fixed the link for you, everytime you edit it adds "%20" to the link which breaks it.

I agree, some really do not look good, but are still graded high. Although i do not like the grading system (1 - 3) I think it should be 1-5, and the next round 1-10. oh well.

heres my second by the way. :)
Fight For Earth

  • 07.08.2006 10:14 PM PDT

Posted my first also. Not a single Spartan, Elite or any other Halo person at all......just kinda a mixture between vector art, pixel art and some weird-@$$ lines etc....really odd, don't ask me how i came up with it, but I liked it better than my all stylish prototype wallpaper.....

link:http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/5369/newmobasawallpaperkop ie8zq.jpg

My next one will be a completely hand drawn (well, hand drawn in Adobe illustrator that is :P) one of the MC and Arbiter, hope it works out well.

But man, the level of this contest is soooooo high! Ok, some are crap like the pre-mentioned "yeah Bungie!" thing, which also got way too much points......

My favorites so far:

Some really good entries, here are both of mine:

The voting seems a little suspect though, as some really good ones have little votes and some that are simply screenshots, have high votes...

You have to realize though that it's more than just pretty pictures or screenshots. it's a wallpaper vontest, not an art contest. Some people made some nice stuff, but their wallpapers don't really look finished, almost rushed even. I can understand that the judges give a higher rating for a more simplistic, but finished one.

I'm also getting a bit tired of people who use those black bars that looks like this:

Ok, but 6 points for a ugly Yeah Bungie????????????? right........
anyways. I also get the point of Phuzion. Some people just took screenshots from the H3 announcement vid, did nothing special to it exept for adding the bars you hate so much. And they get a lot of points. Maybe they look stylish etc, (and a wallpaper needs to be stylish and simplistic to work well) but its not like they put a lot of effort in it. I like the ones that are majorly modified more. And most of all I like the ones that were made originally and were not made of copy pasting a video render.....but thats just my opinion. I think that the ones that are made with "love" and have clearly made with a lot of effort deserve more points than a simple screenshot with the standard layout like this:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------_
Halo 3 /

Forerunner Construct with MC in front of it

you know what i mean :P

and please tell me if this pic I made is worth posting as my second entry for the contest. I would really appreciate some feedback!

My submission

I'm so pleased with it :)

  • 07.10.2006 2:18 PM PDT

Jeez, this contest is working out way better than I had planned it to. There are well over 100 entries. The only downside is seeing duplicate works, and not knowing who the original creator is. If I continue to see duplicates, I will be forced to disqualify both wallpapers.
