PR Launcher Art - We need YOU!

Post by Mineral »

Are you a graphical artist? Do you want to make new cool PR themed art for our Launcher in a similar style as the current two (1, 2)? We are always looking for more backgrounds for the PR launcher.

Feel free to post your art here or PM it to us, and we include in a future PR update. You can also test your own art by placing it in the \Project Reality\Project Reality BF2\mods\pr\menu\External\Launcher\backgrounds folder where it can be randomly selected by the PR Launcher. It has a resolution of 800x400 at 72 pixels/inch.

A small tip, make sure the text remains readable in the corners (social media icons top left, newsticker bottom left) and the main menu items by giving them a darker background.

Working on some cool designs for the launcher! what is the best way to send it to you cause image size limit will work here on the forum without decreasing the quality?

Just use your file sharing service of your choice. For showcasing it in forums, just use Imgur.

Lovely work Hokunin. I'd say like last time maybe make the bushes in the left bottom corner a bit higher so the text is easier to read in all colors.

Could you send an HD version to us?

Iguanadjy, while nice work on those, we are really looking for 'artwork'. it's definition is a bit vague perhaps but it should really be drawn by yourself or digital art and compose work like Hokunin for example. Your work I feel are mostly photos and some filters on top of them. Not entirely sure they fit the rest of them. Keep up the good work though!

EDIT: Link if the preview won't show up

My Take for the Launcher Art.
I Made something similar for an event on one of the few remaining PR Server, so i thought why not tweak it a bit and put it here since the base model / image is already there..


This one is a calmer and simplified version highlighting the (not so) new Chinese Marines faction + Adak Map

Cheers

I like that one TH0M! But I do think it doesn't work well as launcher background mostly because of the font color we have now on the buttons. Your art doesn't play nicely with it :/

Maybe in future we can have dynamic coloured buttons to work for any background art? :)

I gotchu fam *proceed to throw nade into the image*.. the first one was just to test the general color scheme, sense of motion, proportion and composition, and whether people like the general look of the image or not

Image

Here's the tweaked version, just threw a nade in, and then boom.. should fit better with the overal text & icon layout on the launcher, hope this one sparks people imagination & brings back memories of the good times they had / will have in PR, or at the very least, give people more ideas for their own Launcher Art so we will have more options to choose from
