love the feisar! it looks really cool having kinda pixel art rather than the normal super clean lines

//Amaru

//dogg

//Sausehuhn
thats an awesome job! pretty unusual colors, and it looks awesome! you done any more?

Cheers.......

I like these two! I'd use them online if I were you!

ok .. may be not the 2nd one

[BARTgai]

lol you should use the second one online

( maybe the intense colors will give other players major headaches that will cause them to lose control of their ship and slam into a wall )

[ZenDJiNN]

Hi zargz - bright & breezy colours eh? I'd personally use any of them online. As BARTgai says, the colours alone could get some wins if only for the "WTF!?" exclamations as other racers start slamming into walls in sheer disbelief!

There's a "hippy" playing Pulse...!!! OMG!

[Rush25]

zendjinn i've gotta say that hippy feisar skin is possibly one of my faves so far! the colorblast is so intense it'll give people nosebleeds hahahahaha!

i'm now a proud owner of a goteki! you guys were right, skinning goteki's are a bit easier, especially if you rotate the template skin so that each of the parts are facing upwards! what do you guys think?



oh and btw, i'm not breaking any rules with this thumbnail link am i? i sure hope not, i mean when i check out the properties of the thumbnail it says around 6k, but in the preview it says the file is 300+k! i'm just a bit confused!

is this pimp my ag-ride?

nice flamework, btw

[Dogg Thang]

It's the skin I was just now doing here! NOU, you beat me. Zero motivation to finish it now, thanks a lot.

Finish it Supersocks! I'd love to see your take on it. Also, give us your hints in the skin editor discussion thread.

[infoxicated]

RingoSpoon - that's superb!

[Egg]

About the texture offset in the Editor - I think that's an error that creeps in when the ships are converted for the Application (they go through at least two conversions from my originals, which is just asking for trouble).

There's no offset in-game. You'll probably have to use a bit of trial and error to make sure your textures all line up.

Incidentally, has anyone tried simply copying and pasting a random bitmap from the internet yet?

[ZenDJiNN]

that hippy feisar skin is possibly one of my faves so far! the colorblast is so intense it'll give people nosebleeds hahahahaha!

Thanks Rush25. Hopefully it'll slow them down enough, giving me a chance to catch up!

Your Goteki looks great btw, and they're fun to skin aren't they? I think your thumb's OK in size too, as it's only about 6k, and the 350kb is only reference to the size of the actual jpeg that you've put on Imageshack.

RingoSpoon - I really like what you've done there, especially the flamework. Nice one!

[Lion]

I finished the template I started earlier in the thread, so now I'm now kickin' it oldschool:

I realise it's not quite accurate to 2097, but it's a damned good start

[Dogg Thang]

Nice! I love it. Very cool. The pattern works really well and does feel like the classic Qirex.

[supersocks]

Lion my hero.

Based on an X Wing

(but in the end it looks like a Viper from Galactica) PNG available for downloading just now! Join the rebel alliance!

[infoxicated]

wow! That's what I thought when I first saw it - Viper from the original BSG series - especially from above.

[Dogg Thang]

That is incredible. I'm in awe of how much you've been able to get out of the 16 colours. And, yeah, it does have that Viper feel! Tell us how you did it.

[Nadia Elenova]

//Dogg Thang- how I did? I admire a A LOT your skins! It's me who has to learn!

I just copy-pasted areas from an x-wing picture, working on an RGB large image, adjusting colours to reduce "surprises" when turning it into a 16 colours image, and then retouching areas on the final 256x256 16 colours png. (all in photoshop)

[Flashback Jack]

Had to look up exactly what dithering (as Egg mentioned) entails, but I believe that's the method to Nadia's madness.

Dithering is a process whereby non-standard colors are simulated by using various shades of the 16 we're limited to. It's an extrapolative (semi-intelligent "figuring out") process -- a sort of clever robot hack on the existing pallette. Photoshop can do it on the fly. That's what I understand the word to mean anyway.
