I wanted to make a wallpaper with the concept art for the new Caldari tier 3 battleship, which I've decided is named the Roc (regardless of what CCP decides).
I was going to think of something really fancy, and then I realized it would be very un-Caldari, so I went with something nice and simple.
It's for widescreen (5:3) monitors...I have a widescreen, and the original image wouldn't fit normal 4:3 monitors very well, you'd have to crop it horizontally too much to make the vertical fit.

Sure...I probably should have cropped it last, now I'm going to have to take a minute grafting the bottom and top back on...but yes, it shouldn't be difficult at all.

Shouldn't have picked a name like that.
My Eagle is G.S. Gilead Pistol, no chance in hell they're naming a ship class that. -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!

That Caldari 'C' looks a little stretched to me. Otherwise it's cool.

8:5 version posted, plus I put up the 5:3 version with the EVE logo.
I think I might do an 8:5 with the EVE logo too...

It's taken straight from CCP's image with no stretching. I have no idea why it looks that way to you. -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!

I guess I wasn't careful enough when I made it a few months ago...
Sorry.
Maybe I'll make a new version of these if I ever do a cleaner version of the Caldari logo. -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!

Usurperis an NPC!
They have to name that ship the Roc, because it rocks. Nice look to it, I can totally imagine 8 425mm IIs lining that sucker.
And using a name I liked since the day they were announced would be an added bonus.

Im using the one without the logo because it looks too pixellated at my res. Ill try resisizing it in CS2 to see if that makes it better... ----------------

Must have something to do with it being automatically stretched. -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!

I added the 4:3...it doesn't look as good because of the required horizontal cropping, but I figured that some people with regular monitors might want it. -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!

Edited by: Acheron Cyc on 28/04/2006 16:10:34 Why don't you make a Soviet Iron Fist(:P) version like keepiru's(current wallpaper) but with a similar star to this one on flat front or at least a star like the one on russian fighters with the white edges. And the big CCCP titles, of course. It will rock! \0/ ------------------------------------------ "To do something right it must be done twice. The first time instructs the second." Simon Bolivar.

a few suggestions:
1) anti-alias 2) use actual resolutions like 1024x768, 1280x1024, etc. most people won't use a widescreen monitor

I GAVE you the 4:3, just look at the OP.
Bottom line is that the concept art we were given looks like crap when it's cropped down enough to work as a 4:3 wallpaper.
I suspect the artist has a widescreen too... -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!

Edited by: Nikolai Nuvolari on 28/04/2006 19:58:25 I took some things I've been hearing about it, and made a new version...I think you'll like this, Keepiru!
I'm still not entirely sure about the font I used at the bottom...I don't know, tell me if you guys like it, or I should change it (Suggestions for other fonts welcome). -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!

If youre using Photoshop, check the anti-aliasing tickbox in the text tool... and for the CCCP on the ship, turn the text into a vector shape and then use skew & perspective distortion in the free transform mode.
I wish i was any good at illustrator, id make a vector version fo the star with the hammer & sickle =/ ----------------
