Man, I am having two skin-related problems right now

1. I complete my remix of a skin only to find that Max and I are unable to contact the author

2. I wanted to make a Mystery Science Theatre 3000 skin (which is one of my favorite shows), and I included the playlist, which I think turned out really well. The only problem is that I can't think of ANYTHING to put in the other two windows. Any suggestions? I don't even know how many people are familiar with the show, but anyway . . .

P.S. the Zaxxon skin isn't scrapped, just on the back-burner right now

Well I think you should make it look kind of space-ish. Put some stars, planets, etc. Kind of make it look cheesy since that whole show is based on old movies. Try to find some front view photos to stick on there as well. "Main" has the most space to put photos on and such. Just make sure it all looks blended together.

Thanks, good suggestions. I was also thinking it would be cool to be able to use the kooky grey-ish texture that makes up the walls of the satellite of love. Here is a pic where you can see a little of the walls. Unfortuantely I am not experienced with PSP, so there is no way I could do it right now. Does anyone know of any good tutorials on how to make weird textures like this?

You could always take some of the better characters from some of the terrible movies they screen and put them on the EQ bars... in fact they could be scrolling film strips of little snippets.

The skin demands a really good easter egg too. Don't dissapoint!

Heh, great choice to put them in the playlist. Interesting to see a skin starting at the playlist. Unfortunately, I haven't watched much of the show, so I can't come up with any ideas. Looks great, though, and good luck!
