View Full Version : Post your own L4D Cover Art

Guys, I really like the official box art, yet I want to see what you can come up with. So go on and open that good ol' Adobe Photoshop which you bought and create some cool art! NEWB TIP: You can mix up something entirely new or edit the official one.
This is not a discussion whether the newly revealed cover art is good, bad or shite. If you don't like it, illustrate it through a better suggestion ;)

Well i just added a black layer and put it on Hue. Then i deleted the red parts from the black layer, so it would show the red. Then to wrap it up and i creted another layer on top of the black layer and put it on overlay. That layer is where i added red to the hand.
