[OT] Axon Desktop Idea

Not sure if I should post this since it ain't in-game, but whatever,

I've been a little bored, so I'm working on an Axon wallpaper. Its bound to not be super great, since I had a hell of a time distorting the co-ords to fit the slightly askew graph of the earth I had to use. I'm quite sure some of the points are off from their 'real' location.

I'll prolly upload the final desktop with my three other desktops themed around ILB so far.

Any suggestions?

it'd be a lot cooler if you had all the axons on it though.

Good idea... *starts looking into making ILB wallpapers to kill the time while waiting for COUGH puzzles!* Razz

Edit: Done! Not the smoothest wallpaper around, but making it was fun.

Nice! Maybe you could put a faded or warped version of the phone conversations in the BG, or something, but it looks fine as it is! I know I'll have a new desktop when you post this.

BTW- I dev watch you now.

As I said in the first post, its *extremely* difficult to apply that guy's co-ordinate plotter points onto a non-forward map of the US - quite a few are off simply because I couldn't get them all correctly placed. If you can find a better way, I'd be very thankful.

I plan on doing something along those lines with a seperate desktop. I perfer my desktops pretty basic, because I personally don't like complex desktops.

EDIT: Uploaded. I added a small beacon-like trail from each axon. Thought it looked better.

I really should finish the other ILB desktops I've tinkered with.

VERY nice. Gotta become the official artwork for beekeepers!

Even if the axons arent exact, the idea is there, and its good art. Smile

Expect an update sometime soon to the desktop; I've found some links on the wiki with clear images that might be easier to distort into the US map on the desktop. Or not, I dunno. Basically, all it'll change is, hopefully, the axons will be closer to their 'real' locations.

EDIT: Same url, but whatever. I'm not 100% happy with the updated version, as the axon pics I used were rather large, and making any of them smaller made the already smaller ones impossible to see. However, they are as accurate as I'm willing to waste time making them.
