I'm no artist. I haven't the Photoshop skills to pull it off. But could someone possibly make some desktops using the masks seen in the Nike Pro ads as inspiration. They're deliciously creepy. Here's what Willis was talkin' about:








Here's the link where you can view the TV commercial, if you haven't seen the campaign yet. Warning: Annoyingly slow Flash site.

Anybody else think these are cool or am I simply easily entertained?

you can dowload the commercial from Nike's site, that link at the start of the thread.

i'm not going to really bothing with the wallpapers now since there's already some on the site... unless someone can provide some hi-res images of those masked people...

Nice job, guys. I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking that commercial and those masks are cool as hell. For the desktops, anybody want to try something more abstract instead of totally photo-real?

It sucks having the idea in my head, but no art skills to make it happen.

I was thinking just a plain background, with no writing or Nike logos or whatever... And the masked figures... Maybe cell-shaded (is that how artist-types say "cartoony" or "video gamelike?")?!

Anyway, nice job on the stuff already done. Keep it comin', if you're all interested.

How about a set of icons for those masks? Again, either photo-realistic or cartoonish...
