The Truthful Liar Posted April 13, 2002 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? =\
Forhekset Posted April 13, 2002 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....
The Truthful Liar Posted April 13, 2002 Author 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
Forhekset Posted April 14, 2002 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

PurplWulf Posted April 14, 2002 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
UniKorn Posted April 14, 2002 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.
