The Truthful Liar Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 (**Note: 95kb loading) This IS my first skin. Try not to be 'too' harsh =P Front: And Side: So... what do you think for a first? =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forhekset Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Hrm, interesting color combinations...however, all you really did was re-color the Shadow Trooper skin, correct? Prepare to be flamed into oblivion by some of the egotistical "l33t" skinners around here. Re-coloring a skin is more than I ever tried, though. Maybe you can practice on a few more pre-existing skins, then soon start creating your own skins from scratch.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truthful Liar Posted April 13, 2002 Author Share Posted April 13, 2002 Well this was not just a re-colorization of a skin. Recoloring it would have been VERY dull and not exactly adding some of the effects that I wanted. I did try my best to add some cool highlights and detail + an unexpected color scheme... ... I Can't wait till I get uber-flamed Still, thanks for your 'input'. Keep them coming... Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forhekset Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 Maybe I came off the wrong way...I think it looks pretty good, especially for a first skin (though to be honest I don't remember a heck of a lot of details about the Shadow Trooper, so I can't tell how much you added/changed other than the colors). I mentioned the flaming thing because I remember reading another thread around here where some guy recolored an existing skin (don't remember which one) and the thread turned into a flamefest because a few people decided to tear him a new one for colorizing an existing skin rather than creating an entirely original skin. It was pretty ugly as I remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurplWulf Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 the skin looks nice man, I like it. on a more personal note, as a fellow skinner, some are gonna like what you do, some won't, you'll never make a skin that everyone likes, people will always find something to ***** about, but skinning, just like any other art form (and I do beleive skinning is art) is something personal, and no matter how many people like/dislike your work, as long as you're happy with it, or the person who wears a skin you made, whether it be you or someone else, likes it, that's all that matters. I started skinning for HereticII and the only reason I got into it at all was because I wanted my own look in the game, it only came with a few default skins and to see everyone running around looking exactly the same was incredibly boring. So I said to hell with it, I'll learn to make a skin for myself. My first skins were almost all solid black with some detail changes here and there, then I moved on to skin recolorations as I learned the tools a bit more, and eventually I could make just about any look I wanted for a skin and make originals. for a first skin, you're light years ahead of where I was, so keep up the good work, and I look forward to seeing more skins from you in the future. the purple one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniKorn Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 Most of it is a recolour though. I like what you did, and the extra highlights are nice. It's good for a first skin. The thing I'm doing with that model is to create an entire new armor. But it is still in eary alpha, I'll post a pic tomorrow.
