e-raser · 18th August 2002, 21:14

here is another update, i'll be putting up a working wsz soon b/c whith such a close dew date i want as much feed back as possible as soon as possible.
criticizems welcome!

dekt · 20th August 2002, 18:27

That looks mad, really different - i like it a lot. god knows where the controls fit into it all but it looks good.

simon snowflake · 21st August 2002, 08:58

hmmm, i got a idea

simon snowflake · 21st August 2002, 11:35

potential?

e-raser · 21st August 2002, 15:43

its a great start but u'd better get ur ass on it quick almost less than a week to the finish line
[by the way is that a wa2 skin format, if so that is realy cool that it fits]

simon snowflake · 21st August 2002, 16:34

nope its wa3
and if I'm tolate for the contest, I wont care. I just liked the idea.

e-raser · 21st August 2002, 17:05

too bad,

dimichan · 21st August 2002, 23:12

GAH - I got sidetracked doing the wire frame one, so it's back to figuring a frameset for mine. However, I WILL come up with something, just hope I can finish in time without pulling 3 all nighter's again (ok, I get a bit obssessive after I finish my main components)

Like what I see from everyone else so far, intimidating coming in so late!

e-raser · 23rd August 2002, 00:18

seeing how i'm almost done what should i do for the contest submision?
should i send it off to the review squad and give you the id # or e-mail the whole skin to you

Just make it clear (ie. by posting or PM-ing) when you are 100% finished, and provide a link to the completed skin (as you already have been doing). When the due date is over and I have all the skins, I will post a new thread where people can see and download each skin and vote.

e-raser · 23rd August 2002, 04:07

what is happening with Cazsius?
his skin was looking soooooooo good!
its been awhile since i've sceen any posts by him.
i want a good hard competition and he had the skin which was making me shake in my boots.

I was just thinking the same thing.

e-raser · 26th August 2002, 04:54

common pple, where art thou?
this is a contest!!!, we need more than ME to make it that.
show me the money!
lets see what u guys have come up with for the past 2 weeks

StillWater · 27th August 2002, 15:56

(The due date, as of now, is soon - this weekend)

dekt · 28th August 2002, 19:56

I'm afraid it's not going to happen for the Orb skin contest.

I'm really sorry. I'm actually on-schedule for three days before a deadline (ie: I've done next-to-nothing, like always!). However the chance has come up to go to Amsterdam for a couple of days to see my sister and this falls in my crucial 'stay-up-late-hammering-out-a-design' phase so I'm afraid it's not going to be done on time. I will finish it, just not for Saturday. There was no way mine was winning anyway (I was going for a basic, functional thing with cloud background) but I hope the rest of the skins turn out well and the winner picks a good track for you to create for.

My sister's finishes her Inter-rail trip round Europe on Saturday so if i hadn't gone out now she would've been back. I fly out at 7am from Glasgow tomorrow so I have to get up before 5am. I look on this as my punishment for not getting my arse in gear on the contest! I've just managed to book my hotel and I'm trying to figure out if it's in the Red Light District or not - soon find out, I suppose! All I have to do now is pack - damn, more decisions.

Anyway, sorry again and I'll be sure to check out the winner on Sunday.

See you.

Derek

PS: I couldn't PM you cos you have an 'invalid address'. I assume this refers to the question marks in your username rather than your address being a cripple?

e-raser · 28th August 2002, 20:52

Done, finished the skin.
Just click "the Orb" link and d/l,
i've also got the id # 120065
it's right now unpublished

e-raser · 28th August 2002, 21:17

oh ya, ¤db¤ seeing how you realy seemed to like my old vol bar i included it in the file so all you have to do is remove the curent one and rename the "alternative volume" file to "volume"

e-raser · 29th August 2002, 16:08

2 days left.....i feel lonely

common pple get u'r stuff together and start posting u'r skins

chiquita chad · 29th August 2002, 20:25

this is where my skin will be when it's published.

time taken to make skin: 75 hours
graphic ability used: 100% (kinda sad considering it kinda sucks)
chance of winning: 1% (with a 1% margin of error)
all the fun i had making this skin: priceless

chiquita chad · 30th August 2002, 01:31

chiquita chad · 30th August 2002, 02:17

sweet... that was fast
*put 'fast' in italics because it's zooming across the screen*

e-raser · 30th August 2002, 02:46

nice!

StillWater · 31st August 2002, 17:12

Announcement:

I'm putting the deadline of the contest forward by two weeks. They are now due by the 14th of September.

The reason for this is that a couple of people still haven't finished their skins. I apologise to e-raser and Chad, who have already finished theirs. Sorry about that guys.

If possible, please try to have your skin ready by the new date

Mr_Tough_Guy · 31st August 2002, 23:46

Finally got around to downloading, and reviewing the first two entries, nice work guys

did still find a tiny bug in The OrbAmp e-raser, something I mentioned before, you should crop out the sliders of the balance bar and put the white stripes in the frames, same thing you did with the volume

e-raser · 1st September 2002, 01:00

well i can resubmit, but i'm not sure as to what you want me to do, can you explian in more detail

Mr_Tough_Guy · 1st September 2002, 01:12

never mind, I just realized you can't do that cause the balance bar uses the same frame for left and right

dekt · 1st September 2002, 16:27

It's good you're putting the deadline back, I'll have my skin done for then. It'll still be mince but I'll have it done!

e-raser · 1st September 2002, 17:23

and i thought i was layze

simon snowflake · 2nd September 2002, 08:59

I decided to start allover

or

e-raser · 2nd September 2002, 14:39

Jellby · 2nd September 2002, 17:04

It's me or are you all skinning the same picture???

dimichan · 3rd September 2002, 02:20

roughed in about 2/3 of mine, still working on a lot of it but here's what I've got so far (not same pic

_Blackdog_ · 3rd September 2002, 03:15

simon snowflake · 3rd September 2002, 06:26
