I put them on my
Max-D 6000 and Tiger Shark reviews. The others (along with a few that someone else made, I forgot who exactly) are buried in an old thread I'll have to dig up and look for.
@iSoaker: Speaking of the gallery, it seems that all the pictures I ever submitted are gone. I can't find my stream shots, armory, nor anything else around there.
http://hbww.fateback.com/HBarmory.html contains a small, slightly outdated and incomplete gallery, but if you need to, I can email them to you. (which may take a few emails for high-res pics) Could this have anything to do with my promotion to different usergroups? I wouldn't think so since the board and site are well seperated.
Back to FPS pics, I haven't done much different than in my previous ones. I suppose the new challenges now would be to integrate HUD's from real games, put humorous dialogue in the chat, and depict PROPER battle situations. (it takes a fairly goofy game to have indoor water wars)
And yes, the soakertags on the box were edited in. All editing was done in Macromedia Fireworks, and even though I kind of overused bevel/emboss, I think it turned out fairly nicely.
The colored bar on the top is a modified Halo 3 style soakage monitor. Before, I used a progress bar like meter, but changed it to just color. The inside starts at yellow when dry, and progresses down to dark navy blue. At the same time, the outside bar is supposed to go from green to red to indicate status. I think colors are a good way to indicate soakage, PC, and reservoir gauges since they give you a rough idea of their loads, just like weight does in real soaking. As you may notice, I gave the Max-D 6000's HUD a pressure gauge instead of a color circle.
t3hb1gb0i is my gamertag on Xbox Live, but I don't play that often. (and only play Halo 3 when I do, CoD4 is better on PC anyways)
