Hi,

Personally, a don't like "real" pictures for themes, but is my own opinion.

Regards.

How bout doing something like this:

[THK]

Here is the cut-out character art if you want:

[Lashek]

8-bit graphics need 8-bit mountains, imho :D

[SophT]

how about the flyer from vs. ice climbers:

//I agree with the 'real' background sticking out.

[fifou]

Maybe it's easier to do somethin good with this one than Thrash Rally ... you should continue with this theme based on the flyer ?

[rubixcube6]

ya Ill improve on it. your right, the real picture for the background kinda throws it away from its originality. ill try to work with the poster :)

[rubixcube6]

ok, so Ive got everything cut out from the flyer, and animated. the clouds move the ice off the side falls, the teridactals fly, and even the little one in the background!

ill post a preview soon, but I have a question. what do you think would look beter?
the current logo and wheel icon, or the original pixilated one from the game?

I think the current one would flow better because nothingelse but the logo would be pixelated and fits in with the illustration. what do you think?

[SophT]

I'm never a fan of pixelation. Or any screen caps in my themes for that matter - not to sound harsh, just my opinion.

How about one of these for the logo (should be fairly simple to trace in illustrator):

[rubixcube6]

*edit*

[Buliwfy]

Nice! Thats great work rubixcube6.

[SophT]

that's hella cool man - but where's the video gonna go? :/

[rubixcube6]

woops! lolz i completely forgot about a place for the video.

[SophT]

you could bump the ice berg a little over to the right and you'd have room for it on the left - you should add the little 'vs.' to the title too.

I can't wait to have this theme on my setup - and awesome animation by the way dude!

[bodydump]

very nice animations, can't wait to see the final.

[mildanti]

Yah man very nice indeed.
i was always thinking about doing this game, but never had any ideas.
u pulled it off.

[rubixcube6]

thank you everyone :) ill be making more too, and hopefully soon if i have the time.

*edit*
I should have this theme completely done by tomorrow, if not sometime b4 I go to bed :)

[SophT]

thank you, we're glad to have you, always good to have some fresh artists around - different perspectives on artwork and stuff

cheers

[rubixcube6]

[rubixcube6]

how do I add a place for the video? I dont have an FLV

[SophT]

well you could use savevid.com to download a youtube video in flv format... i've done that when I'm in a pinch to add a video to a theme and didn't have one on my laptop.

[rubixcube6]

alright I can do that. I just didnt know what size the video spot had to be. so youtube videos are the correct aspect ratio?

[SophT]

no you can adjust the size and position of the video within HyperTheme - most themes the video is usually somewhere between

512x384 and 640x480

[rubixcube6]

heres an easyer way of downloading youtube videos

bookmark this link -- here (javascript:window.location.href%20=%20'http://youtube.com/get_video?video_id='%20+%20swfArgs['video_id']%20+%20"&l="%20+%20swfArgs['l']%20+%20"&sk="%20+%20swfArgs['sk']%20+%20'&t='%20+%20swfArgs['t'];)

then go watch the video you want to download, and click on the bookmark.

anyway, Im finished with the theme! wooooo! finnaly. heres a screenshot. I used my youtube video of the first one as a template lol

Hi,

I ready downloaded the theme but I can't see the main picture (mountain, bear, etc..), I only can see titles, a swf animation with clouds and background and another swf animation that flashes...

Can anyone test it please?

Regards.
