Tak

mike-db · 2nd May 2007, 19:25

I got bored, decided to try skinning again. Still a WIP I need to figure out where to put my volume and seek.

Mr Jones · 2nd May 2007, 19:29

Looks like a notifer with contols on it.

Think big!

mike-db · 2nd May 2007, 19:38

Aww, you don't know how long that took to make in mspaint. I'll go for bigger then.

gaekwad2 · 2nd May 2007, 20:24

TAK?

mike-db · 2nd May 2007, 21:44

I never knew.... I just named it "Tak" because I could not think of anything else.

gaekwad2 · 2nd May 2007, 22:16

It's also Danish for "thanks".

Aren't you always complaining about skins being too big?

You made that in paint? Impressive, but so not worth it. That sort of effect could be made in like 5 seconds in photoshop.

I used to be stubborn about sticking with paint too, but you're really making your own life harder.

Yeah, i was stubborn for a while, but Paint Shop Pro isnt so far away from paint. Its a good middle ground between paint and photoshop i reckon

. I find it easier to use anyway :P

Ye, PSP is so much easier. Last time I used PS I used it for about 5min until I realized that you could not zoom with the mouse wheel...

TheElusiveMelon · 3rd May 2007, 08:44

pjn, you have to hold down alt then mousewheel to scroll in PS. I agree, its annoying

P$ycHo™ · 3rd May 2007, 13:19

only a little suggestion for the position.

dlinkwit27 · 3rd May 2007, 13:32

nah, make them circles on the left and right of the prev/next buttons.

mike-db · 3rd May 2007, 20:04

I'm not being stubborn, I'm stuck with mspaint.

LuigiHann · 3rd May 2007, 20:11

In that case, all I'll say is: don't try to do photoshop effects (like bevels and gradients) in MSpaint. It may come out okay, but you'll still kick yourself for it later, when you realize how much time you've spent on it.
Try sticking with clever pixel art. It worked for me and it worked for El Argento.

use gimp, its a little bit different than PS, but its free and once you get used to it, you will have no problem with it.

Not sure if you've seen my past skins, lots of them are half done in GIMP, the other half.. Just never happened.

skryingbreath · 4th May 2007, 02:56

It's not that difficult to just finish the skin and post it afterwards right? It's not like a critical piece that needs fine tuning.

I agree with Luigi; doing Photoshop effects in Paint is phenomenally stupid. If you're going to be stuck with that tool at least do something creative with individual pixel work. Argento's Proyections comes to mind.

mike-db · 4th May 2007, 17:50

Eh, I might as well just finish this smaller one up and I'll make the bigger one later.

P$ycHo™ · 5th May 2007, 11:30

hey did you look at my suggestion? what do you say? i think you wanted to know where to put the volume and seek. of course my picture only should say where to put them, not in which style. (the pic is above, i'm too lazy to upload it again)

mike-db · 6th May 2007, 20:19

I like it, kinda offs my color scheme.

P$ycHo™ · 21st May 2007, 17:10
