Coming Soon...

Edit: This should be in the fan art forum. Could a mod move it please?

Ive started working on a new Skin for Planeshift. I wanted to do something for the community, and since the only thing I am mildly-decent at is photoshop, my choices were limited

This is the third revision of the info window that I\'ve made today. some things still don\'t line up quite right, but that is easily fixed... also, its some parts of it are a little too hard to read. I\'m sure I\'ll end up doing ~100 revisions on this one piece before I get it right, but the rest of the Skin should go fairly quickly once I achieve the look I want.

anyway, here it is side by side for reference:


the compressed version doesnt quite do it justice, but you get the idea.

Hey that looks pretty cool, whenever you finish it, put the skin up for download and I will give it a try .

[Shadeslayer]

Wow...I never knew people had so much time in their hands...Great skin though...
Even better than the one I got know...

[Drey]

always good to see what you \'arty types\' are up too.

first off ill asume that that know is a now, and then ill say, \"i cat say the same for i use the elves (VR) skin which still wins all, i tried stone for a bit but then i went back. nice new buttons by the way\"

also i would quickly add what i forgot... \"mouse is in there now too, and other things like tria icons\" \\o/

Nice skin. When it is done and able to be downloaded I\'m gonna use it...

[BaurakSered]

Ok, so heres the most recent look:



and this shows you what the buttons look like when they\'re depressed(of course in-game only one button is active at a time):



It still has some rough edges, but I think it\'s almost done

[kriller]

Good work, that old skin really needed a makeover. And you made a great skin, truely fitting for planeshift too.

The full defensive, and stop attack buttons need revising

For stop attack: That shield is just too big, maybe that spot should just have an X on the crystal, to show stop attack (or maybe some kind of stop sign...I don\'t know)

For full defensive, you shouldn\'t two shields in the icon, it should be just one, and for the defensive stance, it should be a half shield maybe...or, you could have two different shields for the icons, for one shield...Just make it a shield, for the full defensive shield, have an X going through it or something...I don\'t know, good job though

I like what you\'ve done so far, but there are 2 things you might think about fixing.

1) Pull the target info up tighter to the spell power.  There\'s tons of wasted space there.

2) You really shouldn\'t use pictures off of google.  The silver/gold shield I recognize because I did a hand drawing of that same one for an art class.  If I recall correctly, that is from some online armory place, and is likely copyrighted.

Other than those I think it really looks nice.  Kudos.

wow im impressed! usually i dont like peoples custom skins as well as the original but this one is quite awsome. I like how it matches the logo, obviously that was the point.

[BaurakSered]

Yeah, I was planning on revising the stop attack button. At one point along the way I had a Crystal with a red X on it, but I didnt like it too much, and I wanted to do something different. The current plan is to take the gold emblem off of the middle of the shield, and put a gold hand in its place(similar to the rock skin) that would act as the button.

the rest of the buttons I\'m rather fond of, so at least for now im keeping them. I might do an alternate set of buttons though, so those who dont like them would have the option to switch.

A couple of the other issues im looking at are:

Should I extend the border of the top panel to include \"EXP\"?
I like it how it is but somebody suggested that I change it, and now Im torn...

the Camera mode text is gray, just like the sword.... Any ideas?

The yellow border around the bottom panel is a little messy... This will be fixed soon.

well, I think thats all and then I\'ll be done with it. Any addition feedback is welcome.

*EDIT* Good eye falcon, However, I only used that picture as a model for the shield I made. 90% of it has been substantially altered, and/or completely redrawn by my own hand.

[Farren Kutter]

Yep, definitely gonna use it.

[Shami]

I can\'t even see the skin its so dark. *edit*Whoops, thought it was a player skin. XD

[BaurakSered]

Still cant get the Yellow outline to look just right, other than that, this is the finished product. Its going to take some time to finish the rest of the windows. I may decide to post some more updates later, but for now this is it.



As always, feedback is welcome.

I really don\'t like how the HP, Mana, Stamina, etc. text falls outside of the graphics. It doesn\'t look integrated enough. You also have some \"%\" signs going outside the border. I wouldn\'t call this finished just yet, though you have indeed done a good job ;)
