Description
Alternative main menu backdrop for the game L4D . . . .Click 'Download' for the full bik file, to use:
Locate your L4D directory which should be here - C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead\media
Download my version and rename it l4d_lighthouse_bg01
Place in the above directory, this will overwrite the horrid lighthouse menu. Please make any backups if you want to revert back to the original menu video....
Enjoy!
Official character cut-outs painted over in PS, Painter . . . .

Lovely piece. I had your Bill drawing as my wallpaper for a while. I like your drawing style. Might I ask if the water stains were done in Photoshop, or done on paper and scanned in?

You got it right on paper then scanned in, 90% of my markings are done this way....

Yeah, it replaces the horrible low quality lighthouse menu, I'll put up instructions to use soon, just got to make sure I can host the bik file on DA....

I have no words. Awsome, really awsome. Your skill, the way you use Painter.... Great! How long has it taken? (Do you have some procedure steps saved?

Thanks..........
Well I didn't create the characters, they are the official ones found on each loading screen, I've merely tweaked them in Painter.......
The backdrop is just different ink markings painted over in Painter and PS, took about an hour to do
The light is just painted in in PS....
I'll be making different backdrops so I can save those in different stages.... Its not as complicated as it may look....

That would be great to see a procedure of some of your works....
I just admire your ability. I wish I had enough time to train in Painter or PS.

To be honest I barely know how to use PS, especially Painter.......... I just rely on the standard brushes in each program, nothing fancy or complicated....
I've hardly skimmed the surface in what each of these art programs can do!

C'mon. I still waiting for the procedure of your work
