martwisely Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 hey started my own skin earlier on opinions good or bad and tips are welcome cheers walker Looking good walker . I hate doing them you may be better at doing them. Maybe put those lines in to make it look more realistic ( Cant remember wot u call it - Guidelines or sumit?? lol) All i can think of. But looking good for first attempt
walker Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Posted July 7, 2007 outlines I think there called I cant mind either lol
jock Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 For a beginner it's ok. But there a few things u could do to omprove it. These being the followin points:- 1. Spiler number HAS to be bigger. If not most position it towards the rear off spoiler . 2. The numbers going down the roof cage panels. Again maybe try gettin them a bit bigger and fitting to the panel better. 3. Where u have placed the "IG Racing". Is actually the roof. 4. I cant clearly make out what is on the small fin of the spoiler. (Something cjb.net) This again could be positioned better. This leaving u space for number and name maybe 5. You'll notice a big diffrence if u added a outline to your lettering. (photoshop) this is achieved by right clickin the layer u want to alter. Then BLENDING OPTIONS. And u'll find diffrent stuff in there from drop down shadowing,gradients,bevel and stroke(this being the outline). I hope it dont sound like i'm ripping your skins of fault. Cause that was not my intentions. I thought if i highlight a few SMALL easy to fix things. Your skins will benefit from it greatly. IMO its the small things that makes the biggest diffrence in skins for me. And it's usually the first thing people notice(SOD'S LAW) But for someone who has just started doin skins etc its a gd standard to work from. Keep it up
jock Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 Also add coachlines. This again as i stated is a small thing to do. But IMO makes a massive diffrence

walker Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Posted July 11, 2007 cheers I just noticed the bit about the fin still learning as I go along
Tosh924 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Posted July 11, 2007 cheers I just noticed the bit about the fin still learning as I go along hi m8,looking much better, but see you chris burgyone motosport, try and make the the burgyone larger and the chris and motorsport small. try and get the motorsport to run ontop of the larger burgyone. just a tip m8. another try and use the stroke at number 1 on your writing. and use a small amount of drop shadow m8. thats why your gettin a big outline on your big writing.of course you masy like it like that thats upto you m8. you can also run a line around the wing and body templates.makes it more professional looking. heres the template of my randall car i did m8 to give you an idea of how to lay it out with lines,etc. [attachmentid=17217] hope this helps m8. just keep practicing with the layers
walker Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Posted July 13, 2007 hi m8 sorry I didnt reply been busy lately but if your on msn later ok if u could give me a hand with gradient as am thick with that walker
