Guest nickcornaglia Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 This is the first skin I ever made where I actually played with the graphic background of each plugin. I modified Deemon's Cheerleader and used Midnights Modaco Guy Graphic. Let me know what you think.ModacoHome.zipModacoSkin.gif
Guest Crispy Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 Nice skin :) ... I think I'll stick to Reload thou ...
Guest NederSoren Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 Ouch.. Now midnight's not gunna be happy :) The Skin: Well.. imo I think that the skins looks kinda boring, i dont like these boxes, but i know that many others does.. The 'MoDaCo Dude' looks kinda blurry, i dont know if its just the pictures you've posted (Haven't tried the skin on) So.. Im not gunna use this skin, as i know that midnight is going to make a modaco skin to.. and i expect it to be very good.. ;)
Guest rchiileea Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 yes an speaking from experiance dont modify his work otherwize he probley wont add to it(no offence to any one else but mids has talent :)
Guest nickcornaglia Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 Thanks for the feedback....I'm trying to learn how to do this and this was an image to try with. I didn't say it was great...I was just messin' around. So I thought I'd share it. I got it to work...so mission accomplished. Quotes: Boring....yes...but I like regular home screens so it works for me. Blurry...not as much on the phone, but a bit, yes. I was working from the image online I don't have a higher res line art...or I just dont know how to resize properly. Modify his work!??? PLEASE...99% of the skins out there are modified art. Including Midnight's Xbox theme. Now, if everyone is done kissin' Midnight's butt ;) .... Midnight....If you don't like it...feel free to take it off the board. I don't want to step on your toes and mess up your art and I didnt know you were going to do one of your own...I thought it would have been do by now if you were...look forward to it. Like I said...I was just messing around trying to learn and thought I'd share it. :) Thanks All, -Nick
Guest midnight Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 hehe, errr, i dont know if anyone noticed, but i aint complaining about this, yes i'm making a modaco skin, but you'll find its very different to this attempt, in fact, i may do two skins cos i'm not sure if everyone will like the first one. But as a second one i may do a rework of my reload skin. this is a good attempt, and without having my original photoshop gfx it is kinda tricky to modify the gfx to fit (one tip, if using photoshop to resize the image, change the mode to rgb and not leave it as index colour (bmp and gif use this as the default), and with that you will find the image will resize better and will anti-alias it automatically. one final point.... i didnt make the box skin, i merely added the extra screens, which, i didnt even wanna release at first (due to not having permission from the original author, it was for my own personal use), but was pestered into it (as you would read on my website if it was up hehe). Xbox was, and still is one of the nicest skins out there. Ive currently only made 2 skins, Reload and Matrix Reloaded :) so, anyway, i think this looks quite nice, just maybe needs the gfx improving slightly
Guest drblow Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 Ouch.. Now midnight's not gunna be happy yes an speaking from experiance dont modify his work otherwize he probley wont add to it(no offence to any one else but mids has talent :) ;) :D Old grumpy midnight, eh!!!! Seems you've gained a bit of a rep as a moody artiste there Mid!! :D
Guest midnight Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 hehe, yeh, dont know where thats come from heheh :) i think its cos neder knew i was working on a skin, must admit when i saw this iy was a bit 'oh, should i bother now?', but thought what the hell, the more 'free' skins the better right? ;)
Guest drblow Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 That's the way Midi!! :wink: You truly are a man of the people!! :) ;)
Guest nickcornaglia Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 this is a good attempt, and without having my original photoshop gfx it is kinda tricky to modify the gfx to fit (one tip, if using photoshop to resize the image, change the mode to rgb and not leave it as index colour (bmp and gif use this as the default), and with that you will find the image will resize better and will anti-alias it automatically.I was wondering why it was acting weird. And I'm sure I didnt convert to RGB until it was done...so that's why. Thanks. one final point.... i didnt make the box skin, i merely added the extra screens. Sorry for mis-stating that. which, i didnt even wanna release at first (due to not having permission from the original author, it was for my own personal use), but was pestered into it. Just tinkerin' and I thought I'd share it. I'll ask next time if I'm going to post it. Thanks for the kind words, tips and feedback. (I'm trying!) :wink: Nick PS...based on the other posts, I thought you were going to hop on the first flight to the US to kick my A$$. :shock:
