Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

That is one of many ways to make a wallpaper, yes. Others use programs like photoshop to create digital pictures. I have never made one myself, so I couldn't really tell you any specifics.

How do u make a wallpaper on your computer? Can u draw it then scan it in and enter it?


You can try that, as long as you make sure the resolution of the pic is set to a right proportion for this contest. But having to compete against computermade wallpapers is difficult if you come up with a hand drawn one. You make more chance if you do it on your PC.
You can even do some simple stuff with Paint. But the real deal comes when you use Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or Gimp. If you havent got those, try downloading them. But they have a steep learing curve, so you wont be able to do much with it in time for this contest...

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.


may I suggest that contestants save, for instance, their psd files (if the wallpaper is made in photoshop), so that they have prove they were the original creators? Just a thought.

This method would be very useful when choosing the winners, and asking for the .psd file before officially declaring that they have won, just to find out later that their wallpaper was a fraud.

:rolls eyes: Yeah, if it was announced BEFORE the contest began. Having someone win only to find out they shouldnt have deleted the PSD file because it wasnt in the rules doesnt seem fair.

It will most likely only happen in case of doubt.

Whoever posted an animated wallpaper... you cant use GIF animated images as wallpapers. Try right clicking and setting it as desktop background, it wont be animated. Sorry mate, bad luck with that.

Yes it will....
Admitted, the animation doesn't run smoothly.

I am your shield. I am your sword.

I have to agree with some people on here about the voting....Its kinda bunk. Some of these do deserve high scores and alot REALLY dont. There is one with an 11 with 4 votes that was made with a program that pulls images from like amazon.com or something. Ive seen it before with text. How creative is that? Not very. But oh well....this would be better as an official bungie contest. IMO

Your signature should be 'you're' by the way... if you wanted to know.

I know the animation doesn't run smoothly...but I have already talked to Twinkie because there is a simple solution...you just have to wait for it to load in your browser, right click and save as and then view it or set it as you background, and if you have a decent computer it won't be choppy...

I just wanted to try something different, it isn't like I was counting on that one alone, I am working on a static wallpaper too.

Just letting everyone know that I will be starting to enact Rule 6 on the contest page which is:
Must be a Bungie.net member before 7/6/2006 to be eligible.

This is there to prevent multiple entries from users who may be trying to get it all. Also, usernames which don't exist on bungie.net will be also disqualified, as we won't be able to send the PM asking for their adress, if they win.

  • 07.16.2006 11:25 PM PDT

Mine will win for sho'!

  • 07.18.2006 4:39 PM PDT

Just uploaded mine.
here

Its a vector image made in Adobe illustrator CS. Its kinda messed up, cuz I originally made it for widescreen resolutions of 1200x800 px, but I could upload that so I had to convert it to 1024x768. So the result of the 1200x800 one is better, cuz its more strechted and open. But I still like the result.

The bandwidth issue is being addressed. The contest is finished with new entries, so you will not be able to submit any more wallpapers once the page is accessible again.
