new skin - insid (wt)

caz · 22nd May 2003, 22:29

hmm, started this about 2 hours ago ( I know theres not much to show for it lol)

My initial idea for this skin was to try and recreate what a 'mech' pilot would see inside his cockpit (thus the military green came to mind)

What I really need some help with is choosing a new colour to go with the green, Ive chosen four different colours (the white included) and put them underneath what I have so far for you to choose which you like the best, if you have any other colours give me a html number (or rgb) and i'll see what it looks like

I kinda didnt want to show it until at least most of the main was done, but I could really use a little help.

thx

~caz

P.S - dont worry about the colour scheme, it wont turn into another devart skin lol

Cleanup · 22nd May 2003, 22:31

Love it so far. My only bish is that the grey things on the sides look kinda floatashish. Try to blend them in more.

I choose the yellow, but make it a bit more bright.

e-raser · 22nd May 2003, 22:45

??? lol, not even sure what part this is of the skin

GoldenSphynx · 22nd May 2003, 22:46

How would #507075 look? I lreally like it so far. Nice job caz.

caz · 22nd May 2003, 23:03

eraser, its the top of the main, the titlebar

caz · 22nd May 2003, 23:11

small update - using the colour goldensphynx suggested, looks ok imo, unless anyone else says somethin better ima go with this ^.^

thx GS ^.^

[edit]oops, forgot the link lol

GoldenSphynx · 22nd May 2003, 23:33

w00t, I actually helped with something. Looks hot. I don't know about the stripes of yellow though. Maybe if you made them the same color as the color I suggested, it might look as if the green bar was segmented. It may just turn out to be a cool effect.

dimichan · 23rd May 2003, 02:22

Ohhh, I like this, nice so far

J_Bloggs · 23rd May 2003, 04:59

I think some rocky/snowy scenery in the background there would go very nice with the mech idea, instead of a solid color.

immortal · 23rd May 2003, 12:06

caz stop teastin! grrr :P

looks cool, carry on!

FooMonkey · 23rd May 2003, 22:29

I've got the perfect color for you.
#FD9BB7
Please post an update with it, I wanna see how it looks.

If the rest of the skin looks that good, it'll be great.

caz · 24th May 2003, 01:17

update - done a little more with the main, started the cbuttons - I think that my initial idea is going to prove too difficult, after three different tries I gave up, so I let my mind wander (like I did with kyaela 2) and I came up with this, hopefully Ill create somethin very strange...lol - I hope you'll like it.

foomonkey, lol I tried the colour you suggested - but in the name of public safety, I decided not to show a screenshot of it - rofl

Cleanup · 24th May 2003, 02:49

I want to sex you.

immortal · 24th May 2003, 12:50

:O dam nice caz... thats all

Mr_007 · 24th May 2003, 15:12

Really great design!

dimichan · 24th May 2003, 15:53

This is looking cool, I really like the look of this!

simon snowflake · 24th May 2003, 18:43

hmm pretty

I'm looking forward to see the result

caz · 24th May 2003, 21:17

Another small(ish) update, I have no idea what to do for the cbuttons, let alone how to incorporate them into this...thing..lol

Any ideas?

I dont quite believe it, but so far this skin has over 95 layers..and its only the main.

- wtf is going on? lol

The whole of Kyaela was only 120(ish) layers

Cleanup · 24th May 2003, 22:27

Eh. I don't like the wires. They don't fit with the skin... If you do decide to keep them, the big red one seems unnatural, unless the wire has a lot of tension, it shouldn't be that rigid and straight.

skinme! · 24th May 2003, 22:30

I quite like the green and yellow wire. It's cool. Love the colour scheme and the punky grungey look. The detail at the top is sublime. keep going dude, or I'll egg your house.

e-raser · 25th May 2003, 02:10

love the design of this, what was the idea u were trying 3 times that u gave up on, b/c if its a cool idea and u dont want ot expand on it i'm all ears

caz · 25th May 2003, 02:49

It was basically the front 'dashboard' of a mech, but the 3d-ness that I needed, to create the right perspective, just didnt seem to go with the main title bar (and I basically just couldnt get it right) and so I scrapped the idea, I like how this is turning out better anyway.

FooMonkey · 25th May 2003, 03:36

Aww, I'm disappointed. I really thought that color would be a nice complement to the border. Oh well.
I'm liking it so far. Is the graffiti going to stay there? Just curious.

xanax · 25th May 2003, 13:52

Wow! it looks nice caz.
Keep making this skin beautiful (not sure about the goldensphynx's color though).

Cleanup · 25th May 2003, 14:55

Uh, nice avatar, *****.

xenosomething · 25th May 2003, 16:48

oh man! this makes me wanna start a cel-shaded skin.

caz · 25th May 2003, 18:29

update - trying to figure out how to do the vol/bal now

Decided the cbuttons will be sort of 'projected onto the space between the beams of light...I think..lol

you can sort of see what I mean...although I dunno if it'll stay like that

Cleanup · 25th May 2003, 18:38

Looking good. I'm not sure I like the "projected" idea though...

xenosomething · 25th May 2003, 19:04

that projection is a good idea but the previous button is off to the left of it.

e-raser · 25th May 2003, 19:45

its looking very mechish this way i must say!, can't put my finger on what type of anime style it reminds me of but its definatly stricking a cord in me some where

caz · 25th May 2003, 20:08

xeno, yea I know - the previous button will be on one of the 'arms' with a small light inderneath showing when the button is pressed...thats the only way I can think os doing it

skinme! · 26th May 2003, 09:22

make the projection stronger.

Cleanup · 26th May 2003, 11:54

I think that my problem is the CButton labels. I dun like them. The projection is cool.

It's just that the labels look kinda... uhm... cheesy, with that kind of shape.

caz · 28th May 2003, 03:14

sorry about the lack of updates, been doing other stuffs..Ive done a little more though...but not much

lol

Anyone got any ideas for the eq? and/or the cbuttons/display area? cos im sorta 50/50 on whether or not theyre going to stay..

~caz

Mr_007 · 28th May 2003, 14:12

Very great and romantic design by caz!
Good luck on your romantic skin!

FooMonkey · 28th May 2003, 19:18

I like the cbuttons/vis.
The graph in the EQ could be another one.

bobo · 28th May 2003, 19:59

kinda raydreamish. nice work

bobo · 28th May 2003, 20:01

btw, you should have dark grey displays

caz · 28th May 2003, 23:53

do you mean the 'beams' of light and/or the parts in-between should be dark greyish?

PeaceMaker · 29th May 2003, 04:15

caz, like i always say make it the way you want it, without so much outside input.

anyway, i'd make the labels bright white painted on those thin white lines (just symbols like u started before, only brighter).
