Gangsta Rammus and a Custom Vlad Wallpaper

Really starting to get the hang of GIMP though I still prefer Photoshop as it has many advanced features that automate things I have to do manually in GIMP. Still this Vlad wallpaper came out looking rather nice using only GIMP.

They see me rollin... They hatin...

Gangsta Rammus says "Ok, Dawg!"

Custom Rammus Wallpaper

On the way to work I caught the tail end of a Slipknot song and the lyric "In my shell I wait and bleed" caused me to immediatly think about Rammus ( I suspect it's the shell ♥ ) so I came up with this little wallpaper. First time I am releasing multiple resolutions, the 16:9 versions seemed to re-size badly though, Rammus ended up looking a bit pudgy :(

Rammus - The Armordillo

Rammus

The dangerous magic that dominates the Plague Lands has an effect on all life within its confines. Rammus is a living example. No one is entirely certain how an armadillo from the Shurima Desert made his way through the Kumungu Jungle – much less unharmed – but he did just that. Caught in a burst of wild magic, Rammus began to evolve. In the matter of a week, he was man-sized and a week after that he had achieved sentience. The question became, what now? There really wasn't a place in the world for a sentient armadillo – except in the League of Legends. His new form was certainly equipped to fight, and especially to defend. However, it was Rammus' newfound sense of humor that led him to craft an outrageous suit of armor to go over his natural protection – giving birth to the fearsome Armordillo!

Rammus is a tough nut to crack on the field of battle. His spiked shell not only protects him, it causes damage to those that attack him. His wicked sense of humor gives him the ability to taunt his foes into recklessly attacking him, putting them at a defensive disadvantage. Rammus’ armadillo heritage also comes out to play as he curls into a ball and launches himself at his foes with tremendous force. He can also curl up to simply maximize his armor, making him very difficult to harm. Rammus also possesses the unusual mystical ability to cause the earth beneath him to rumble, harming nearby enemies – and structures.
