What did you do to the banshee? Other than that, the skins look pretty decent.

Also, the skins look pretty good. May want to post pictures before someone yells at you.

Yay! I can give more suggestions after I see some pictures, its just a bit hard to judge from a video.

I like the color of the Assault rifle.
Also, you don't have to use FRAPS to take a screenshot.
Just press Print Screen and open MSPaint, and select Paste from Edit.

well in photoshop i made it look like there were holes torn in the metal with exposed wiring and stuff but for some reason ingame it doesnt show good at all.

get free fraps. take all the screens you want. then open each screen in paint and resize and save to png or whatnot.

The AR is the best

it's simple yet very neat

4/10 for effort
(a few filters don't take too long)
7/10 for looks
The warthog is a down
9/10 for the clean AR look
something clean looking

averages to about...
6.75ish
I don't want to do teh math

pretty good.

I like all of them accept the tank,
but thats just me, I'm pretty attune to photoshop and i know how you did that filter and i just plain old don't like that on anything, so it says more about the photoshop filter than you! =)

7/10

i know, all i did was the glowing edges filter for the tank. I dont really know how to use photoshop yet and i need to learn more about cs3

3/10 for the skins (mainly the AR)

+0.5 cause you attempted to do more then one skin
+1 cause you have limited knowledge in PS and tried to use it anyways
+0.5 cause you took the extra time to make a vid for it
+1 cause you used lenny kravitz in that vid and not something lame

orverall score for this mod: 6/10

not bad man.. keep at it.

yeah next time ill make a better set of skins, i really just sped through this and slopped it together. Ill work on a few this weekend and see what i can do

SL!P · Post by **SL!P** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 5:32 pm

I like that AR skin.

Base your other skins off of it.
