Title: Outlands Wallpapers
Post by: Elions on October 21, 2012, 12:40:32 PM

So, since the outlands server is down i figured i'd ocuppy my time with something else. I ended up making these wallpapers with a bit of a cinematic feeling to them using key characters of outlands. I might make more if people feel i left someone important out (which i most likely did) or even make wallpapers with different themes. Anyhow, Enjoy! Low resolution just to check them out in the forum, and high res to put 'em on your desktop  ;)

And as an added note, If it's not obvious i'm anxious for outlands to come back on already xD

You should experiment with using artistic shots from the ineu map as backgrounds.

The mysterious Simon (forgot last name...) who's medical skills saved more lives then any medical group combined?

Anyone remember OzJackals character who created Third Eye? The group who delivered justice to those who don't deserve the freedom of the outlands.

Or the late Leonard Wong who located Ineu, transported 50+ refugees, and founded the civilization if Ineu? Then went insane and started destroying all his work.


To name a few other key characters I know of.

I'm not claiming to be some god of art but I really don't think the hues and fonts work.
The fonts look all "spooky scary skeletons" and the hues you've applied look a little rushed.
By all means it's still nice but that's just some constructive criticism.

In my opinion, the first two look awful compared to the other two, which look relatively decent. Razor's looks the best because of it's grey and then one purple glow and it's just the cleanest out of all of them.

Artistically, it feels like its missing something. There's nothing around the words but black background. They might actually be a little too fancy.

Hmm, I can see what you mean guys. I was going for something simple with these but maybe i went too simple. I'm making 2 more wallpapers, one featuring the Wilson brothers (Beans, Beef and Meat) and another one with Len, but i think i'll experiment a little with actual backgrounds this time.

Any sugguestions are appreciated.

Don't forget Beans and hi brother companions who've killed upwards of 50+ people and have established a group in outlands that alongside the Clinic, is the oldest group in the outlands.

BTW, I meant the revived clinic, not the old one from Outercanals. Juggernaut flipped a nutty and thought I had implied about the OLD clinic, though Beans and Beef WERE around during the height of the old clinic.

Flattered that you would make one of Razors <3

The colours on her's are really fitting, given her morally grey personality, and generally cold disregard towards your average joe.


As for the other ones, they definitely have a good deal of innovation and creativity (innotivity :D), but felt like there was something missing that I couldn't quite put my finger on. Looking at the opinions of others, I'm finding that their words are ringing clear:

I really don't think the hues and fonts work.

It seems like the main appeal in these would be the more rustic, simplistic version, which is really neat when it's done right. But like Statua said, there are too many little details, and like Doctor said, the colors seem a little over-saturated for the environment they're featured in, and the fonts represent a, quote 'spooky skeletal' feel to them. Don't get me wrong, they're really, really cool (in fact, I've got Razors' pined into my wallpaper changer, which changes every thirty minutes between shit I find worthy to be there; welcome to the gallery!), but to unleash their total potential, they could be touched up in some areas.

Also, Stat, the 'Mysterious Simon' is Simon Reilly, my drunken, burn-victim surgeon. I don't think he's saved as many lives as the clinic though :P
