Re: #! Ninja Refinements

So I guess "Gord" or "Bob" won't do then. lol.

I'm not so good with names as you can see. wink

Re: #! Ninja Refinements

From Zwopper concept : Crunch Bang ==> Crunch Bang ==> Cr B ==> Kr B ==> Kuro Batsu (which can be shortened as Kuro as a nickname) wich is written 黒罰 in Japanese and can be translated into Black Sentence or Black Punishment
IMHO, this fits pretty much with the Ninja theme and the black overhall color of the distrib.

Oh crap, now that I look at the preview, if you forget the tartan, he's starting to look Hawaiian! I should quit while I'm ahead! smile

Re: #! Ninja Refinements

Uh oh! That sounds like a challenge to mod the little sucker to fit your locale...:P
Then a script to call up the appropriate wallpaper depending on the language and timezone you choose for your computer wink

Problem is the little guy would freeze his exclamation point off with our current weather here.  I'd have to dress him in long johns and a parka! smile

Re: #! Ninja Refinements

For a ninja, shouldn't it perhaps be a dark background behind him. So he 'blends' in. I suppose if you took that to the extreme you'd get a black screen with a pair of eyes looking out at you! smile Loving the kilt and sporan though! big_smile

I'm  not sure if the original image I posted is large enough to scale well (without aliasing). So here's a link to a big-arse version of it, with the tartan but on a transparent background so it can be used in the Gimp on a variety of backgrounds:

Cheers. here's my updated screenie:

EDIT:

if it looks a smidge squished it's coz I have resolution 1280x800 and Photobucket squishes to 1024x768

Re: #! Ninja Refinements

Here's a bit of a dark wallpaper with the kind of lurking ninja look I guess:

Re: #! Ninja Refinements

Where's a pirate version I ask? tongue

*Reason for edit*
I took the liberty of doing a quick simple pirate draft. Excuse the poor quality just installed Gimp and I'm not very familiar with image editing tbh.
*Reason for 2nd edit*
I cleaned it up a little bit. But until I've done some reading on the usage of WINE I think this is the best I'm going to do for while on that draft smile I'll probably tinker around for a while anyhow and see if I can do some other stereotypes perhaps. Any advice you can give me on image editing and guides would be greatly appreciated big_smile

Nice job for not being to familiar smile

Thanks. I'll sort the transparency and stuff when I'm sitting down with my laptop again and got some time over. I just noticed that the white shines through in some places if you watch the picture online. :S

Anyone with more experience that wants to make a different version? I thought perhaps a whole family of crunchbangers? like a pirate/ninja/viking/samurai/lumberjack/yourself/ballerina/terrorist/etc

Could be fun smile

Take him out of the plaid, and you've got my nomination for this as the official splash screen big_smile

I think for a splash screen in lower-end comps, the simple monochrome pic of (Kuro? If that's his name) could be used instead, as well :3
