Yay, I got DSL back and running.
You have no idea how lost I am without a connection.
Anywho, since I had some time to kill during the "blackout" I got a bit creative. I've redone my photo portfolio, studied another dead analog special effect, read a book, fixed the muffler on my car (exhaust header rather), got more work done on my tattoo (16 hours of pain this time) AND made a Nexuiz CD cover.

I hope you guys like the cover and don't laugh about the other stuff too much.

P.S. Looks like I get a lot more shit done if I'm not sitting where I'm sitting right now!

Interesting approach, and nice solution.. It looks good.

I dont agree with the placement of the "dm tdm" etc though, it ruince the balance/symmetry, I think it needs something on the ofer sice for balance. "the free fast-paced first person shooter" or something

wb PHREAK!

Hey Phreak, I was wondering where you went.

Say, you should look into Tremulous...

I do play a lot of trem lately. I also see some of you there often. Might be due to the fact that Nex is going thru it's down time. I still have a few open 1v1 challages so I guess it's time to close those

@tchr
I would rather have that on the back. I'm not sure i'd like the front to be symetrical but i'm open to suggestions as always.

Welcome back PHREAK!
Very nice present that u have got there

I think that it would look great as menu background/startup screen for nexuiz (without the text ofcourse). IMO the current one does miss the "nexuizstyle" quite a bit (very subjective, no offensive intended)

edit:
any chance to beg a wallpaper version out of you?
PLEEAAASE

Phreak, i hope you won't be offended by what i'll tell.

Good base-job, but :
- i'm afraid it looks a bit 'flat' in a bigger size
- not the original nexuiz font
- nexuiz logo is distorded and thiner than it should
- perhaps those texts on the left should be centered
- the metal plate under the nexuiz logo needs to be a bit more 'scrashed'
- ... and an inner shadow too
- the black and red gradient curves need a bit more differenciation with the background radial gradient

Anyway i think that using a Red / Gray / Black base is a quite good idea
