Another practice BG (New Style)

[Phemar]

I think you should change the bright green to a nice, lush dark green. He looks sissy with bright green...

Could someone please help me draw a rusty, old barrel?
Up there are some I drew today but when i try to apply rust to the 1st one it just looks real bad.


Oh, and some c&c on the crouching sprite please.


Zor: I don't know about that. The sprite will be really small in the game, and most of the backgrounds will be dark, so I'll look into that once I'm finished with the tech demo.

[Daz]

here you are, a rusty old barrel



sorry for the lack of rust, i did it quickly

hope it helps

-Daz

[Damien]

Hey, thanks!

I'm probably going to make it a bit more rusty, beaten and going to add some holes.

[Darth Mandarb]

The trooper doesn't really look like he's crouching, more like he's kneeling.

I did this:

- added some muscle mass to his arm
- added in a visible back arm
- added in an 'out' leg to achieve a crouch
- altered the helmut a little
- altered the boot a little

~ cheers

[Damien]

Thanks alot Darth for another great edit!

Hope You don't mind if I use it.


EDIT:
Here's something I made out of some character animations (runing, crouching):


x2:


I made this to check out how some stuff will look animated, and then decided to post it here instead of just deleting it.

[Redwall]

If it's a rocket laucher, there should be a flame that shoots out the back, shouldn't there?

[Damien]

Yes, there will be flame.

[Daz]

perhaps the rocket launcher should have more kick when it is fired?

i really like animation though really nice, keep it up and i hope to see more.

-Daz

[Redwall]

Rocket launchers are actually recoilless rifles, so there shouldn't be any kick.

[Hollister Man]

Yeah, a rifle kicks because of the combustion inside the chamber, which propels the bullet out.  A rocket simply sits inside the a tube-like launcher and propels itself out, no kick (imagine a self-powered spit ball)  now a mortar on the other hand....

Browsing through the old crap I have on my hard disk, I found an old winamp skin I started working on a long time ago. Now it's finished:



Download the skin here:
D_FoYskin.zip


I have Winamp 5.02 and it works fine.

[m0ds]

Excellent stuff Damien Did you consider putting "Inventory" over the playlist?

[Damien]

Here's the 2nd skin I finished today:



Download the Jp & Cosmo skin here:
D_Jp&Cosmo.zip


Mods: Cool thought, I have an idea where to use it.

[Al_Ninio]

Well, I really dig the FoY skin.
In fact, here's a screenshot of it on my desktop!

the JP and Cosmo one though...
The colours hurt my eyes

PS.
I don't know about the JP and Cosmo one, but the FoY one seems to work only in Winamp 5.

[Darth Mandarb]

How cool is this?

That's great!

I like JP & Cosmo being down in the corner like that.

I've made some custom skins before for winAMP ... but I lost them with my hard-drive crash a few months back.

This is cool man!

[viktor]

this looks cool. But it dosn't work with my winamp. I do hawe a rather older version though.
Could you people tell me what you use to make these skins?

[Damien]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

Highwaygal:
After making the FoY skin, I wanted to make something more colorful, I noticed how dark your desktop is, must be the reason why bright colors 'bug' you so much.


Viktor:
First download winamp5 from http://www.winamp.com/player/ and install it. Now open up the winamp/skins directory, there should be a file there called Classic.wsz
You can open that file with winzip, and modify the bmp's in there.

[Damien]

Here it is:



I've been having problems with adding a texture to the walls, could I get some suggestions with that please?

I know it lacks detail, but as the title says, this is just a practice BG. Also, when I finish with the texturing, I'll add shadows and highlights.


Here are steps of making the BG, if anyone's interested:

1.Drew it on a piece of paper
2.Traced and colored it using mspaint and IrfanView
3.Added some texture using burn/dodge tool in Gimp

Thanks in advance.

[Mr_Frisby]

Nice BKG. I dont think you need to worry about texture just light. Your light source is the door and windows - if you don't know what I mean post a link with your image in .bmp (hard to redo in JPEG format) and i'll do a quick one for you.
