Sin City Lumia 930 Tile Art Theme

Sin City, one of the best requests I’ve received so far.

The reason I loved it so much is that Frank Miller’s artwork was the reason I got into tile art to begin with. Here’s a pic of the first home screen I ever customized back in 2013.

It also came at the perfect time, having seen Frank Miller’s amazing Dark Knight comic come to life in the “The Dark Knight Returns” animations just last week.

It was a bit tricky to create this transparent theme, given that all of Frank Miller’s Sin City artwork is mainly black & white, but I hope that I managed to do it justice here.

Full Throttle Lumia 930 Tile Art Theme

Right, so this is one of the stranger requests…it comes from my dad!

When I was a kid growing up I had a small chair which I used to drag into his office so I could watch him play various PC games that came out back in the day (wonder where my passion for gaming comes from). I remember games like Dig, Half Life, Wing Commander and Quake, but the one that really stood out…was Full Throttle.

The game was developed by LucasArts back in 1995 and was designed by Tim Schafer (Grim Fandango, Psychonauts, BrĂ¼tal Legend, Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle). The artwork looked amazing, but what really made Full Throttle unique was the impressive story line, voice acting and humor.

One of the funniest moments I remember from the game was watching my dad lose his temper on one particular part until he jokingly released a box of bunnies who then proceeded to run across a minefield while Wagner’s Flight of the Valkyries played, only to see them blow up and clear the path before the hero…brilliant.

Anyway, dad, here’s a home screen just for you.
