No offence to whoever made it, but the wallaper on the site is somewhat awful so thought i'd have a go...

Tell me what you think?

I noticed one problem with it that text on icons becomes unreadable when on it but other than that it looks nice :/

btw, i have it in 1024x768 too if anyone wants it.

damnit, the more i look at it the more i hate the way the blood looks. any ideas on how i could change it? i think mabey a faint a texture might make it look better.

Set a bit of transparency to the layer. I'd also recommend you put in an anime-related element lying around with blood on it, like a power tiara or a Pokemon card. And the address to the site in a corner or something, or a small ".org" after the letters.

Also, a wallpaper is a tad useless if you can't read icon text.

Yeah, not bad. Maybe the icon text thing will work out if you don't have that much contrast on the asphalt texture. That could make the skidmarks stand out a bit more as well.

Good, we need more wallpapers in that section. I had to whip up that one quickly just so we'd have something for site launch.

Anyway, MetalMilitia, I suggest a little more saturation in both the logo and the blood. Also, do you have versions for 1024x768 and 800x600 screen resolutions?

Ok so i very slightly increased the blood saturation, increased the saturation on the main text, reduced the contrast on the asphalt and slightly increased the transparency on the tire tracks.

The icon texts are slightly more readable but its still not perfect so i have provided the .PNG file for anyone who wants to modify it as they see fit (or just want to steal the nice asphalt texture :) )

Ok, whenever you guys have a final version, just let me know and I'll add it to the site.

If your still interested in working on the wallpaper might i suggest scattering cards in a pattern following the tracks. It woul look like he lost his entire "Deck"
