So, I have a friend who loves comics, Wolverine in particular. You could say he’s partly to blame for my love of all things “comic”. Decided to do something nice for the guy and mock-up a home screen I thought he might appreciate…maybe not as cool as his custom Wolverine Converse, but I’m hoping it’s a close second 🙂 Enjoy bud.
Images and PNG’s used can be found here.
So this will be my final request for the next couple weeks. I’m off to South Africa for a holiday and unfortunately wildlife, biltong and braai vleis will be taking priority.
This request came from our pal Jez from XboxMAD.net.

Shortly after his tweet Amro got excited. So how could I say no 🙂

To be honest, I never thought much of Green Arrow, but after creating this home screen I’ve found a new respect for the character as well as the artwork.
Anyway, enough talk..here’s the home screen in action:

So today was my first attempt at stuffing around with Windows 8.1. What comic did I decide to go with? Batman, as only David Finch and Frank Miller could draw him 🙂
Saw a couple guys had the new 8.1 software, so I figured I’d try it out. Doesn’t look as good on static images, so I created a Vine which should show you how the parallax scroll and transparency effects work. Overall, I think it looks pretty slick.
For some reason I think the simple version actually works best in this particular case:

Any Watchmen fans out there? Well, me too 🙂
Figured my first post had to be the brilliant work of Alan Moore (more to come).
This particular set up took me about 3hrs in total…hard part was getting the right images and sizes, so, to make life a little easier for those of you who were thinking of doing this yourself. Here’s a link to an album I created with all the original images I used.
Pretty simple to do, only app I used was Custom Tile Maker.
