Hi all

Hope you all a good xmas and will have a good new year.[:)]

Have made a new player skin for Hal

Below is picture of image and then the .zip file should anyone want to use it.

Have tested on my machine and seems to work fine.

Maviarab,
Looks pretty nice. Has your Hal been drinking too much this holiday? He has a bad case of red eye. [:D]

Thanks guys, currently redoing this to incorperate the "SAL" blue eye but having trouble getting it looking good in psp...blending in the varying shades of colours to look natural...perhaps you can give me some tips crunch on how to achieve this?

Also crunch any chance of that naked skin so I can start on some new skins myself, Crystal opted to reply to my mail but not send it me lol

Art,

Yeah thats great thanks, can change the name myself (pretty straight forward lol) but was having trouble getting the tones and blending looking right to my satisfaction lol.

If you could send that would be greatly appreciative.

Thanks.[:)]

Marius,

Here ya go. I didn't bother to ZIP it since

Glad you liked it and glad to help!

No offence Art, but the  blue eye could be alot better. If I was on the main PC and not my lappy, I would do this for you.

Just select the eye (including black bits) and use the hue/saturation tool. That should do it nicely.

Well, sorry about the quality of the blue eye.

I worked on it and produced several variations
given the limited time I had with which to work.

I'd like to see one from you when you get back
to your main desktop. It's for Marius, not me. I
was just trying to help.

Regards,

I said no offence Art and I apologise for hurting your feelings. I will now go try my variation

Sorry if I appeared as I was trashing your idea, it was merely constructive criticism.

I forgot to mention that it is a great skin!

BTW How did you get that nice metal effect Maviarab?

Gremlin,

No offense taken. BTW, nice work on
your rendition of the "eye".
My limited time was due to the fact
that I've been down with the flu thing
all week and basically feel like crap!
That's why I really didn't have too
much time to devote to the image.

Sorry if I came across too terse. I'm
usually a pretty nice guy! LOL!

Happy New Year and Welcome to the forum!

Art & Gremlin.

Thanks both for your efforts...both good and bettr than what I had currently done myself so appreciated.

And gremlin...part of the pic of hal i got off the net (no idea where now was a while ago) and i liked it so extended the picture to incorperate all the areas needed for the skin.

If you enlarge the pic in detail the effect is actually quite simply done with different shades of grey stripes.

Anyway thanks again, my Sal can now have her correct "blue" eye lol.
