Matrix wallpaper
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi all,

Last evening I took some time for myself (get rid of some stress due to graduating) and I made a small wallpaper. I really like Agent Smith from The Matrix trilogy, so he's the one I focussed on. It is my first try at this. What do you guys think? I made it 1024x768. My nickname on the bottom of the pic will dissapear behind the taskbar.

Not bad. I never watched the movie though...

Like it alot, especially the light-version: I for one would put the light-one in the middle, but thats preference.

Thanks guys!

RagsX:
I put the light-version of Smith in a corner to avoid the straight edges that picture has. These pics all come from the website of The Matrix (www.enterthematrix.com) and they were selected before I ever saw Reloaded and the last one.

That's a very nice wallpaper. Agent Smith is my favorite character, too. I especially like the way he speaks. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I think it looks very good! I thought it was professional at first. Only problem (for me) is the off-color "Smith" in the lower left. Perhaps if you altered the hue a bit to make it "fit" with the rest of the "green theme".

Of course, that's just my opinion. Good job!

If you havn't noticed yet, next time you watch Lord of the Rings, look closely at Elrond...And say 'Mr. Anderson...'

The first time I watched LOTR, I saw him and thought, "I've seen that face somewhere before...". After a few minutes of thinking, I suddenly realized, It's Agent Smith!!

Great job. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I like him as an elf too. Talk about luck, your in two trillogies inside of four years. You got to love that.

Re: Matrix wallpaper
 
I saw LOTR before the Matrix trilogy.
I must say, watching LoTR again after seein the Matrix kind of ruined the scenes involving Elrond.
I always keep expecting to hear "You will unite or you will fall, Mr. Anderson.."

Thanks again guys for the nice words.

Good thing the Peter Jackson didn't make The Matrix too (or the Wachowski brothers for that matter), he might have left the ears on Hugo Weaving, hehehe...

Slynky:
I left that image as it was because I really like it, the best thing I can do is to make the edges a bit more green (maybe blur them a bit).

Kamog:
The way he speaks was derived from the janitor of the Matrix set. I heard Hugo saying that on one of the many extra's on the 10 DVD set of The Matrix.

Maybe later on I make several more with different themes.

Do you know how pathetic your species is Mister Anderson? Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was full of dragons and elves and little hideous creatures called hobbits. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Although I do kind of miss my pointy ears.

Yes, my perfect world would be one where I had the powers of Q and could do anything, create anything, do anything that I wanted all without fear of being punished and or killed for it.

I would create a universe where I had purpose, a life doing something that I enjoyed. When I got bored, I would create a new universe and start all over again.

Um, isn't that what you have now with Space Empires? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Exactly. And Im willing to hang around this life just so I can see if we get it done in time before Im "retired" to an old folks home. We are SOOOooo close. I want jacked-in technology to be cheap enough to be common equipment at care facilities before I get there.

If everybody had the power of Q, then you could no longer do anything you want, because there will be rules and restrictions placed on you by the other guys.

Similar thing. I saw a mocked up poster of Elrond wearing Smiths's shades going "Hobbits are a virus."

So now scenes in both trilogies are ruined!

Hahahahahaha.... LOL!!!! Great stuff!
Don't be so dramtic, this is simply humour. I suspect you are a woman, since women don't have humour too. I thinks this kind of mixing is very funny. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif
