Skins Made From I.R. Braniac's No Load Limit Graphics

from WinCustomize Forums

So being that I.R. was gracious enough to give his graphics to the community. Figured I'd start a thread to see what people are working on with them.

Myself so far I generally try making my own OD bgs and Xion skins.

Figuring that WebGizmos and messiah1 would probably jump right on the OD bgs (and do a much better job at them), I decided to do a Xion skin.  So here is what I have so far:

Photobucket" align="baseline" />

And I have alot more to do to it.

As always criticism is welcomed.

Thanks to I.R. for letting us all take a crack at using his graphics.

Cant wait to see what other people are working on.

This has also proved to be a good way to learn some things about photoshop that I hadnt needed to learn how to do yet too.  ;)

I'm not going to get too picky with folks this time...make anything you like...your way. ;) 

That looks pretty neat but one suggestion...if you work with a live photoshop doc...the global lights,shadows and layerstyles remain active.

That means you can duplicate something like that chevron,flip it(like you did),and the lighting and shadows remain true to the image as a whole.(instead of lite coming from all crazy directions)(which happens if you just flip something that has been flattened and pasted and flipped,or reversed)


Then you REALLY look like you know what you are doing.So have fun...I'm really looking forward to seeing what skinners come up with. :) 

Nobody needs my permission to upload...its all on YOU.hehehehehehe  ;) 

Dont worry about breaking something...if you mess up...redownload the file. :)

Not worried about breaking something. Just worried that this is some scheme that you Aliens have come up with to steal are puny human brains.

Steal?,nah...break maybe...its only about 35 layer sets...and some of them only have 6 layers. ;)  :LOL:

That it is. But it makes it a good tool for those who are new at this to be able to see how things are done to get the different effects.  ;)

Ok so Ive changed it up a bit. And still have alot further to go.

The CLOSE text is a mouse-over effect along with the glow around the upper right white button.
And as some people will probably think this is to bulky, I also have a couple ideas for different smaller versions in the works.

Any criticism/comments are appreciated.




Edit: Thinking about putting the time on the bottom bar also due to the fact it is so small in the upper box. Opinions?

To save space I would move the shocks closer together on that middle ceramic section(dropping the top and raising the bottom with them)

And move the chains and player window up closer to center on the top bar.

Just suggestions...do howya like. ;)

Hit a snafu trying to do animations for the Xion skin without screwing up the great look of the graphics. Decided to take a break from it and finish up a couple other things I had going. Getting back at it soon though ;)

zakai, you should try to get it to thump up and down on the shocks...that would ROCK...pun intended.

If I manage to get the other things I'm working on making it do finished then that should be easy by comparison :D
