Well I just made this then in photoshop, I did\'nt bother with the body.
I dunno if you guys would like to use it or not, but I sent in an application for 2D Graphics and I hope to read a responce..

P.s Microsoft Paint can be good for Pixel kind of games like FF1...just thought I might mention that, yes we all know it\'s made by Micro$oft but hey, just download the gimp =)

ok, so my first attempt at the Golem texture
didnt go so well... I got the back mixed up with the front
and the red face did not show up properly...it\'s still
Unfinished but with the end results, I think Im going to have to start over.

Ohh.. btw, for the orc skin you need to click on it to see it\'s full size...incase you didnt notice.

Yeah, I kinda worked that out once I made the post and finished the skin .But what can you do?

Even so, in my opinion I think you could show your skill better by creating a whole new skin using the mask file rather than basing it from the first kran skin.  I mean, all you did is darken it up, and add/change some color.  It looks good, yes, but you didn\'t do the base skin, or any of the details (not to say that I can do much better :P ).

The Golems seems good  (advantageable but good). But I don\'t think an orc fits in PS.

P.S.: Maybe use the Edit Button to Edit your Posts instead of making new ones

I really like your first Kran skin. I think the devs should take all these skins people made and add them in-game (the good ones, of course). Think of the character costomization.

ArcaneFalcon, thanks your right. I really didnt see the mask file, I would have made my own skin if I knew it was there but yeah.. like I said I didnt see it so I didnt know where everything was supposed to go,

p.s Does anyone know any good websites for photoshop textures like the rock texture that is on kran, it looks really good, I was wondering where I could find it. Thanks

I think most people make their own textures.  Just build up layers in photoshop.  Once you have a bunch, experiment around with layer orders and blending modes.  If you need some photo references, though, you can use http://www.imageafter.com

yeah I never said I couldnt make my own textures, but I thought that one was uber cool =0

nice texture, wrong golem. I can adapt it with the gimp and uv mapping though.

Hehe, actually I did that kran texture.
The rock texture is mainly painting with photoshop brush and an overlay photo.

You\'ll need to train more before joining PS team, but that\'s a good start! Skinner are rare...

Thanks well, I\'m 15... I love Computer Graphics I am mostly
 used to animation (in flash) though I have worked on some
 projects for people before, so yeah really advanced textures
 is new to me though I have been drawing atleast one skin
 everyday since I have played Plane Shift... I really dont think
 I am good enough just for the momment.. but yeah perhaps
 within some months I will get better and learn some
 Techniques but I do HOPE to work and Improve PS, I want to
 be part of the community, like an open source project should
 be =)

p.s you are really really good at texturing, that is awsome.
