Ok guys, im in search of someone who has nice/pro skills with Photoshop. I want to make a wallpaper for SoL(Statue of Liberty) but my skills in PS dont allow me to do what i envisioned. Monkey suggested we get a pic of SoL and use NY(Irl pic) for background. If someone has an idea to make or has the skill to make it or do enitrely different wallpaper design we will be very greatful. We will put the wallpaper as front pic of our project at planetminecraft.com and we will ofc give credit to the one with the best wallpaper.

I'm far from what you would call a pro but sure, I'll give it a shot. What size is the BG going to be? Also, do you have a pic of SoL that I can use? It is really hard to get a good SS of it with the walls being so close and the signs being in the way.

Size doesn't really matter, but try to make it as big as you think you can handle Our current picture is 1280x714 but they will all be scaled down to 640x400 on the website. The original will be kept tho and can be viewed too, so don't hesitate to give it all you got.

Getting a decent picture of SoL is proving to be harder than I thought.

do you mean the in-game sol
also i could do this in not pro but i am pretty good at photoshop,

Feel free to try and make it, then post the wallpaper here. At the end we will pick thethe best one of all.

Here's an album with a few different shots of the SoL from a few different angles, maybe someone can use one of these to make something.

Let me know if you want a different one from a different angle taken, and I can also remove walls to get a more full shot of it if you want.  In these pics I took the welcome signs out.

Those screens are already epic as they are. Mind sharing how you get rid of the fog?

how's this? [image no longer available]

No offence but can do better one than this and im not nearly at 10% of what we have envisioned about it. Sry.

We are still waiting for nicks pics. Nick if you are reading this and have not already started on the wallpapers you can use those pics that matt made. Im leaving you to decide what do do with the wallpaper. I now know that yo have exams(or tests) and stuff, so take care of those first.

Offtopic: I got top grade on the mechanics test today.

I have a psychology final in 30 min but after that i have nothing to do all day.

Btw matt if you have sean Sol project in planetminecraft.net you shoud know that the pics arnt the best qualities and angles. I saw you make nice ss too. Can yu make some nice screenshots on the inside to. I plan to update all the pics.

I'd be happy to take more screenshots but I have two finals today and two tomorrow.  I might be able to spend a little bit of time today when they're finished but if I can it won't be much.  I'll try and see if I can get some taken today.  I'll look around planetminecraft if I can, mind sharing the link to where the SoL is posted?

To remove the fog I found this guide: http://www.worldofminecraft.com/NoFog
You'll need a Hex Editor of some sort, and even though the guide says to modify the file within the minecraft.jar file, you will probably need to modify the file that was extracted into the folder "lib/minecraft". That's what I had to do anyways.

And to remove the signs in front of it I just copied the world and hosted it on a local private server and deleted the signs

Someone take the screenshots for me, I'll be more than happy to edit it in photoshop.
