    Well, since explosion's image isn't the way you want it, you should probably wait until he's finished and decide then.

    It also depends on the theme itself. Now, his is completely based with the faded partchment style, with the Arcanum-looking gear/background, while mine has some partchment and steampunk grundge in the front. Does my steampunk grundge really fit the theme of T-A and/or the burnt paper background?

    Furthermore, are these intended to be transparent? If so, mine isn't currently set to be transparent, and it may lose some of it's quality if it is set that way, while explosion's image would look fine no matter the background.

    Actually, when the background of yours is made transparent, it looks fine.

    Yeah, I'll see if explosion comes up with anything and see what happens. I thought "the World of Troika Games" running circular along the main gear would look nice with Terra Arcanum in a more news type font. We'll see though.

    Well explosion I can’t top that no mater how I try.
    Good work I think yours is best of all.


    As I said before dose anyone know of a good drawing program? Since I only have “Paint�.


    I spent a long time on those pictures anyway, maybe I could get this as an avatar/title?

    Disclaimer

    Well, I hate to disappoint you, but I still have to relieve myself of undeserved honour.

    This wonderful game you found at my web repository was not created by me. I am just storing it there for offline replaying.

    Although your words flatter me, xento, I hope that you will admit that this image was unprofessionally made by me.

    Second Variant

    Here it is, the second variant:

    Tell me what you think about the font if you're still interested.

    I am afraid that circular font will not come out readable enough due to the image size restrictions.
    The idea is great, though, so I'll make a circular version and post it here no matter how it will come out.

    Thanks for the kind words, forumers :)

    He speaks! :)
    Needs a capital 'A' for Arcanum.

    Yeah, I thought it might. It'd be interesting to see though. That's good work.

    :) And I also draw..
    Here's what I came up with while trying to satisfy your wish for circular typing.
    By coincidence it has the capital "A" you requested!

    Do you use Photoshop?

    Yes, I've used Photoshop.

    I think it's up to DarkUnderlord to decide :)

    I liked your images, except they're too dark.
    I also liked Baal's work, although I think it's always a win to use Troika's designs.
    Who could express the atmosphere of Arcanum better than them?

    Cool image, but I think it would look better if you could see more of the other gears, but maybe it'd just be messy.

    Gear Problem

    It's hard to combine lots of gears and readable content..
    But I must agree that gears rule, and the more of them there are, the better :)

    How did you make that effect? It's really nice. I'm really curious as to how you got the gear to have pointed teeth so well.

    I like them both. Xento's is hard to read but it's got that guy with gun and he's always good. Explosion's is clear and readable and looks great.

    So... I think I'll use both. The purpose of the image is to be used in the menu system (eventually) but also to be used as one of those "link to us" things. I think both of those images fit that purpose wonderfully. Only one can go in the menu though, so I'll use Explosion's for that.

    Explosion: You want a custom avatar and title? Heh. Let me know and I'll put it up.

    Also, if anyone else wants to have a shot at it a 120 x 100 image, they're welcome to. If they're any good, they'll be added to the collection of "images people can link to us with if they so choose".

    Thanks to everyone for their efforts.

    I may try again later once I gain some more skill.

    I'll kick your butt yet, explosion. :p ;)

    Why wouldn't they be on his side? He did a good job, and he's not an idiot or an asshole.

    Noone even noticed me when I first came around, but what the hell. I sucked with images then (and some say I still do), and I was very young and very naive. Now I'm not quite as young.
