An Unreal Tournament-inspired wallpaper collection

This pack contains 7 wallpaper images I put together with the only thing in common is an Unreal context.

Models from Lycos (UT Models.jpg)
---------------------------------
I created this image to highlight the first 3 models ported by Lycos Vendarian from Quake 2 to UT.  On the left is Alita (EvilBastard).  In the center is Ratamahatta (EvilBastard).  On the right is Darth Maul (Wrath).  Thanks to Lycos for providing the technique and the first set of PNP models for UT!



Red Needed Help From The Outside (RedSave.jpg)
----------------------------------------------
I put this image together soon after Lycos Vendarian released the converted Darth Maul model for use in UT.  All other models and the map shipped with UT.  The image has minor touch-ups in various places.  It took me a while to stage the shot, but in the end, I think it was worth it.



Infiltration for Unreal Tournament (Infiltration.jpg)
-----------------------------------------------------
I put this image together when the first public release of Infiltration mod was available.  I touched up various screen shots by hand with the most work being on the AT4 - the chamber was flat and didn't add much to the shot.  The weapon shots on the right side came from the Infiltration site.



Unreal Tournament Highlights (UTDesktop.jpg)
--------------------------------------------
This one is basically the UT logo filled with a wide range of in-game shots.  It contains up-close model shots, action sequences and map details.  Some maps shipped with UT and others are community maps.



The Fight for First (TheFight.jpg)
----------------------------------
An interesting retro image for me as it contains many characters from various 1st person shooters (and Lara Croft).  In hind-site I would have left her out because she's a 3rd person character!  The image contains models (from roughly right to left) the Q2 marine, the Doom marine, Gordon from Half-Life, Duke from the same name series, A trooper from Wolf-3d, Lara from Tomb Raider, the Q1 marine as seen in Q3, a character from Dark Sector (upcoming from Digital Extremes), Sarge from Q3 and finally one of my favorites from UT.

The concept behind the image is that for many years many games have been claiming to be 1st or Best and even though one makes it, there's another waiting to take the 1st position.  The current battle (in the forefront) is between Q3 and UT.  The Dark Sector character is off screen a little as the game is unreleased as of now, but the guy's eyeing his chance to enter - The Fight.

I could have done a better job in the character clean-up department but I had fun putting it together anyway.



Frag-Tested, Community-Approved (Frag-Tested.jpg)
------------------------------------------------
Being impressed by the number of add-ons for UT and the wide range of sites dedicated to news, technology and add-ons, I put this image together to highlight some (but not nearly all!) of the community Unreal and UT sites.  I included Unreal Nation in the center even though the site's closed as a tribute.  Thanks to the community - map makers, model makers, news gathering sites and everyone else making the UT scene a little more rich.



Unreal Tournament Bonus Pack (UTBonusPack.jpg)
----------------------------------------------
One of my favorites and a departure for me.  This is a tribute to the 1st Unreal Tournament bonus pack and is more free-form than the others.  The list on the left is of the models, maps and items included in the pack.  All of the screen shots are from maps included in the bonus pack.  I regret not including pictures of the relics, as they look fantastic in the game.



Unreal Tournament Noir (UTNoir.jpg)
-----------------------------------
In my latest I was going for a film noir movie poster look.  The image itself is a bit gaudy, but so are the film noir posters themselves - the usually bright primary colors with a focus on lead characters.  Some shots are close-ups and others are action sequences.  There's usually a scenery shot (the CTF-Face shot) and corny challenge text.  The text in the center is primarily from the voice-over heard in the game's intro.  I summarized the entire intro, as it was too long to fit.  The images are heavily edited to give them a retro-like poster or comic book look.  The bottom shot is of the Nali WarCow being trashed by a Skaarj Hybrid on a bonus pack map.  The upper right is with a custom and default skin with infiltration weapons.  The map shot is CTF-Face that shipped with UT.


Enjoy!
