new skin: necromech.

[PeaceMaker]

heres my new skin necromech. still not completed yet, but hard working at it :)

well, ill leave u to it.

[not in santiago]

Wow. I've never been keen on this style of skin, but even I have to admit that it's sweet with a bunch of extra "e"'s

The Main is amazing. I love what you've done on the right hand side - it really jumps out at you! The flow of the skin is excellent, though I think the Eq bars are a bit too small and divided. They interrupt that great, swooping flow a bit.

The only other thing that sticks out to me is the eq vis window. It also stops the flow a bit too. Would it be possible to get some of that metal to curl around it?

Otherwise, :up: :up:

[PeaceMaker]

the eq vis still needs scope lines, which should fill in that missing gap.

[Atmo]

Whoa...:eek:

I never thought purple would look good on a skin, but you've proved me wrong. :D

[skinme!]

Ditto about purple. I love it. To me the contrast of the sweeping curves and the hard sharp rectangles adds reality: two different styles forced to co-exist.

/me shuts up and stirs the mixing pot a little more.

[garetjax]

oh man...I'm glad that I suggested you do this...superb excellent work mike. To bad i couldn't help you do it....But, my skillz are subpar...to really build anything quite close to this.

-------
jax shutz up in the face of excellent work.

[Nini]

Are you sure that your real name is not HR Giger? Great work!
Btw, could you show us more of that background picture? :D Or is it only a skin detail?

[garetjax]

The background is over @ giger.com NINI.


Mike just went to sleep...hehe

[skinme!]

I think Mike is PeaceMaker. Don't tell anybody though...

[Cleanup]

Loving it. Your skins are getting a lot better, PeaceMaker.

I hope you do a colourmod. The purple is nice, but I think it might look better in another colour.

Keep it up. I love the absence of symmetry.

[garetjax]

lol, sorry yeah mike is peacemaker

Sorry, M8 your secret is out...lmao

[BlueBalls]

The people at devart are going to LOVE this skin. They seem to love this sort of thing, and it'll most likely be a daily deviation, are you releasing this in the next breed pack?

Very nice skin, I like the texture a lot :)

[PeaceMaker]

no not going to be released in the next breed pack, but probably the one after. i might need time to do the other 2.9 components if i get that far :)

just finished the eq slider animation, now ive got to do some buttons.

updated ss to look something more respectable

[PeaceMaker]

forgot ss :hang:

[PeaceMaker]

forgot the ss :igor:

[e-raser]

hubidah! hubidah! hubidah! hubidah! hubidah!
ok, now thats a skin!

[Krynis]

gee man i cant even use that skin on my comp it would take over my desktop :eek:

[PeaceMaker]

finished with this one finally :) i think it turned out fairly well.

here's a ss of all windows.. so i'll upload it soon to the normal places.

*off topic, is there anyway to get rid of that ridiculous border in the minibrowser. that pisses me off :hang:

oh, bb.. i decided to release this in pack 22. couldnt wait any longer since release 23 will be ages away.

[GoldenSphynx]

OMG!!1


:D Great work PeaceMaker.

[BlueBalls]

I'll download and fav it for you at devart buddy, great job.

:)

[Cleanup]

DUDENESS.

[dimichan]

Oh my glory... and I love the purplish color!!! AWESOME job. :D

(wondered about that ickish MB border myself >_<)

[Ned Decca]

I don`t like it,Sorry peacemaker but that sux,dude
maybe it`s the purple color otr the shrimp like object on the skin itself,i dunno,To me it just looks nasty
Can`t wait too see your next skin though

[BlueBalls]

Go download it from devart people. :)

Ned Decca, it's cool to tell him you don't like his skin, it's even cool to tell him what you don't like or how to improve upon it, but I'm pretty sure "sorry but that sux" is a huge put down to such a great skinner. I doubt you can even make a skin half this good.

[Ned Decca]

you hav`nt seen my Metalhead skin then
Generally peacemaker makes great skins,but i think he could do a lot better on this,Anyway if i can`t make a good skin who am i say what sux an what dont
Go see Metalhead an make up your own mind,And i`m currently updating it for 2.9 with some more detail and tricks

Spooky

[_Blackdog_]

here's his metalhead skin
http://www.geocities.com/spo0ky2001/Metalhead.gif
(its geoshitties, so copy paste it into your browser)

ned, i think what bb was saying is there is a better way to say you dont like a skin instead of just saying "it sux". watch and learn:

Ned, your metalhead skin is not my style. i'm not really a fan of all black skins. i also think that the cbuttons are too plain and that the animation on the vol/bal could be way cooler.

sounds better than "your metalhead skin sux dude. its just nasty."

[dlinkwit27]

am I the only one who doesn't liek the c-buttons?

[e-raser]

ya, for such an inspired skin those buttons dont fit the bill

[dlinkwit27]

thats what i was thinking. everything else is so...wow, then its like. "hi, i'm a c-button, i was stuck on here just cuase this lil spot needed to be labled."

[PeaceMaker]

ah yeh about those labels.. i didnt want to make it that easy for you, well rather i didnt want to label any button really. i figured you'd know which is what button by now.
the cbuttons was kinda tricky to impliment because it took away quite a bit of detail when i put them in, so it all changed from what i would of liked.
i reckon its quite easy to navigate though, and something different to any other skin ive seen using this style and colour.

[Cleanup]

Hah! Don't talk to me about button labels anymore, Mike. :)

[PeaceMaker]

no problem peter :p

[Ned Decca]

ok,my bad,it`s just not my cup of tea
The Metalhead was my first skin so it aint that bad
Spooky

[BlueBalls]

I don't like metalhead, it's obvious it's your first skin, youll improve, but metalhead isnt "my cup of tea."

[skinme!]

Peace, this is fantastic. I assume the MB border is coming from your HTML code. If you post it I could have a lookee see.

[Jellby]

I heard people saying the borders are a new "feature" in WA2.9x... I hope they disappear in a future version.

[StillWater]

I've been wanting a good purple skin for ages, but no one ever delivered. This is the best purple skin I've seen yet. It's not for me, though, beacause it has all those DA/Breed cliches I don't like: uniform cbuttons, unlabelled shufrep, unlabelled stacks, over-busy EQ-bars, H. R. Giger....:D but apart from those things, the rest is really well done (even the Giger graphics are done very well). You should feel proud of this one. One of my only suggestions would be to next time try to make the skin more dynamic. This one looks a bit too much like you've tried to fill up every available space in the skin with busy graphics, which I think takes away from the impact of all of the individual elements. IMO some of the features, such as that cool big thing on the right of the main, get flooded by the busy-ness and repetition of everything else.

[Snoozer]

Great Skin! I like it! :)

It seems you're right :( It's silly -- it'd be easy enough to code a border in if the skinner wanted.

[skinme!]

Well I don't have MikroAmp installed so it must be Winamp

[flatmatt]

Haha, I thought it was the new operating system or the new IE. Nah, it's Winamp. BLAH!

[skinme!]

Wow, it's investigative journalism at it's best. Or not. I dunno. No one really listens to me anyway.

[trooz1]

It's alive!!! I can just see it pulsing, getting ready to attack at any moment! Sorta reminds me of a brain, heart, bug creature thingy, and armadillo rolled into 1, with a nice purple tint. Lovin it!

[xenosomething]

!!!.......holy shit!

:eek:



that big "bump" in the main window is awesome!

[ripe]

I'm no fan of Giger either, I was bored of that stuff by like 1980 man 8) :blah: (j/k)

Even so, I've got to admire the craftsmanship of this skin. Top stuff pm, and you're still taking on new territory with your skins. Great versatility :):up:
