I made an KH wallpaper a few days ago. What do you think of it?
PS: I am a beginner in photoshop :hippie:, don't be to hard on me. Oh yeh, correct me if my greek is wrong! :embarassed:

and here the Thorakitai (Methuselahs suggestion)

Hey, I like this, man. Good Job! Maximize it!
Not so fast, Aemilius.
Splendid! However, a real KH fan would be aghast at the walpaper, as the phalangites and archers were the last two things the Balkan Greeks were famous for. You really should add a hoplite to the wallpaper.
Another thing that would be splendid would be if this thread did not bet locked... :laugh4::laugh4::laugh4:Quote:

Good job, boy, seriously! Although one minor thing I notice is that the Greek and Roman phrases appear to be different shades of orange... Still wondrous, though. A great tribute to the glory of EB!
Although AP does have a point in stating that hoplites were what the Hellenes were famous for...
I fixed it nowQuote:

Spartans, no doubt.
Its Akontistai actually. As for the unit, I would recommend some reformed hoplite (Thureophoroi, Thorakitai, Iphikratous Hoplitai, etc), or better yet - Peltastai (Hellenic Heavy Skirmisher).Quote:

An AS wallpaper this time. And yes this is the Alexander mozaic as found in Pompei. Please correct me if my Ancient Greek is wrong. This is my first year i am learning greek.

I don't think its that good actually its just a relief of the batle at gaugamela
and that has nothing to do with the arche seleukia
...
Except that the general of Alexander, Seleukos I Nikator, Founder of the AS. Was Alexanders general.
And no, this is not an good mozaic of the battle of the battle of Gaugamela,. It's an good mozaic of the BATTLE OF IPSOS!And aren't they the heirs of MEGAS ALEXANDROS???
Doe wat onderzoek voor je post!

hope you have saved it on layers, as it is...
ΑΡΧΗ ΣΕΛΕΥΚΕΙΑ.
H greek is E in english. (spelled as an EE but that is another story)
Whoops, forgotten! luckily i saved it in layers. Should be fixed any minute now
It is great, but the greek is wrong.
it should write...
ΚΟΙΝΟΝ ΕΛΛΗΝΩΝ.
At EB's startup era Greek would only be written in capital letters. Case in point this stele from Epeiros' mentioning the " ΣΤΡΑΤΑΓΟΙ ΟΙ ΕΠΙ " or "Generals in charge of"/"Generals in situ".

(May I suggest in the future if you want to make another hellenic wallpaper, to copy paste letters from that stele, as this is the way they were written back then).
Greek alphabet so that you know what you are looking at...
Α-alpha
Β-beta
Γ-gamma
Δ-delta
Ε-epsilon
Ζ-zeta
Η-eta
Θ-theta
Ι-iota
Κ-kappa
Λ-lambda
Μ-mi
Ν-ni
Ξ-xi
Ο-omikron
Π-pi
Ρ-ro
Σ-sigma
Τ-tau
Υ-upsilon
Φ-fi
Χ-hi
Ψ-psi
Ω-omega
Excellent. Great job!
scio, thx for the help at greek. This is just my first year greek!
Also, What is the Aetolian League in greek because that would be an even better name for the KH
only problem for me is the mosaic, it seems compressed in the orizontal side, you could correct this in two manners, one is to cut a bit of left part, or right part, so to give it the right proportion, or a second way is to add some black bands up and down the picture, so that the mosaic got his proportion.
Yet another wallpaper...And this time the faction is....Romani! nay joking, It's an Casse Wallpaper.
Enjoy.

And yet again a wallpaper! Saka Rauka!
http://img26.picoodle.com/img/img26/...am_2fbff45.jpg
this one is better than the Casse one.
you can do that yourself cant you?
I think remove the Casse letters. It would look alot better without them
Stop making new threads.
I fixed about the letters. Leviathan DarklyCute... This is my last wallpaper so i'll stop
Feel free to make wallpapers all day and all night, I personal like your style, but maybe you could unite the three(!!) threads for wallpapers to one (or maybe a mod could do that)....

hmm.. in what sense? i wasnt trying to put him down, far far from me that, the fact is that the first thing that came to my eyes was the proportion of the mosaic being streched a bit, that is (to explain it better all the silhouettes of the various personnages are tighter than the original mosaic, they appear to be "compressed"), it was just a feedback. The composition was very nice overall from my side.Quote:

I knew all you said accept for the battle being at ipsos
sorry for that, I certainly liked the koinon one
lol now I look like a jackass with that tripple post... damn mergers...
it appears one of my posts is missing from the Casse thread. I suggested removing the word Casse, as it would look alot more pleasing to the eye. And well... Its not written in "celtic" if there is a written celtic language at all. Maybe write it in runes! haha
EDIT: I see you did just that.. It looks smashing!
You mean this:Quote:

keep up the good work. my favorite so far is the Saka Rauka one.
Don't even think about it Lz3...
EDIT: I think its a shame that the other three posters do not feature any units. I liked your first poster, the KH one, but the other two were just something anyone could have done in two minutes... I would love to see more like the KH one.
Opinions :beam:
I'm not sure if I like the fonts used... or I'm not sure if I even like the words appearing, but what if you use the font that EB uses?. It's called Yggdrasil (asian).
I think the faction simbols might be a little too big, I guess it's personal tastes
cheers:2thumbsup:
Yes, I think i am going to make one (in any) wallpaper in the style of my KH wallpaper.
ok, inspired by amon amarth (enjoying birka vikings new video) and skullheadhq´s thread i created 3 versions off possible wallpaper (or whatever)... :painting:
