The Coalition is Dead! A Gears of War 3 Wallpaper

**Crotale** · 08-20-2011, 03:36 AM

After working on so many projects for everyone else, I needed to work on my own project. This is my latest custom HD wallpaper effort, dubbed "The Coalition is Dead." I made it to celebrate the month long wait we have until Gears 3 hits the streets.

While I did use a few stock images for texture basing, I remapped the textures using displacement techniques and custom brushes. Shapes and effects were all done by hand. All-in-all, the project ended being over 100 layers and weighed about 250MB.

This wallpaper comes in one size, 1920x1080. Enjoy!!

Your wallpapers are amazing man. Do you post them on any other sites?

Thanks Matt. I generally post Gears related stuff on the official forums. They stickied my wallpaper thread in the Artwork section.

Very, very impressive work.

Very nice. Like the strong contract. The text at the bottom looks a bit amateurish though.

Is this on deviantart?

Thanks. I meant for the text to stand out so that it is obvious. Too many times in recent years I find my artwork sold on eBay. At least others will now know who made it.

This is up to the standard of design I've come to expect from you, Crotale. Nice work.

Thanks, sd!

I know of the high quality work you do and this still impressed me. Superb job. Is this just Photoshop or do you have any other programs up your sleeve?

**Crotale** · 08-22-2011, 04:32 PM

Thanks, stevencho. 'Tis all Photoshop and a Wacom tablet.

Can't wait to see what new venture you'll delve into once GW3 is released.
