Update 8.8.07
I've started my new Metal Gear Solid 4 wallpapers based on the 2007 E3 demonstration and trailer footages. My reason for this is to have wallpapers that show the "in game/realtime" footage of this awesome game. Since my source material are not super high resolution pictures, the wallpapers aren't as crisp as the Solid Snake on the right of the older MGS4 wallpapers. However, I'm using IGN Insiders' hi-def movies to capture the images so it still looks great on your tv (720p and 1080i). I don't have a 1080p TV so I can't comment on that setting.
I'm including the first of a three or four series. The new wallpapers are in 1080p and this time around I'm including my favorite XMB overlays and also just the wallpaper itself for those that prefer to go without it. Enjoy.
Update 8.1.07
Added 1080p (1920x1080px) MGS4_v1 "Raiden" edition link. More MGS wallpapers of E32007 trailer and demonstration coming soon!
Update 7.29.07
I designed some Assassin's Creed XMB wallpapers. They are my favorite yet. Let me know what you guys think.
Update 7.27.07
Revised the MGS4_v2. Made the red honeycomb shape darker to make it easier to see the main menu item in the xmb. Also made the spot southeast of the red honeycomb shape darker to see items that tend to hover over that area.
Also resized the images due to photobuckets size limit. The original size was 1920x1080 but once I uploaded them to photobucket.com they downsized to 940x529. I didn't realize this until many have already downloaded them. My apologies. The new size for MGS4_v1 and v2 is now 1600x900. MGS4v3 was within the size limit so is still 1920x1080.
Update 7.26.07
If you like what you see feel free to use them. Thats why I put them on here, besides showing my creative juices. This coming fall will be my last year in school for Graphic Design. I need to warm up before school starts back up.
I primarily make my XMB wallpapers functional, and then pleasing to the eye. So you should have no problem seeing the menus items.
