I change the color of the hog to a brighter color, I hated the old ugly color, so i recolored it to make it look new, as in it just came out of the factory. My brother was messing with it and there are some light green lines you will notice, not my idea his.

.

what changed?

it is a brighter green i think

So he made it brighter?

Get some better pics and then we can criticize you on your strengths and weaknesses.

Looks unusually similar to my warthog skin that was used in my Camisado mod.

hmm.

*EDIT*
I take that back, no it doesn't look mine, because mine isn't saturated to hell.

you must do the turret, too

hmm i thought know one would notice that, well ill get better pics

EDIT: READ THE FIRST POST BY ME!

it looks the same to me, it lacks the scratches the original had.

In the 2nd new picture, it looks like you just took took some swipes with the brush on the right of the Plasma pistol. Other than that i like it.

it still could be better but i dont see the "just came out of the factory look" your speaking of. also i really dont like how you added the green lines around all the edges of the defined areas. tell your brother to leave your skin alone cause he hurt it.

brightness can be a good thing but you can achieve far better results by working the multipurpose then adding some brightness filter to the whole skin.

if your looking for a example of what im speaking of i pulled out a stock hog and did a few things with it and came up with this for a "fresh out the factory look".



see how shiney it is and looks like it has a fresh coat of wax on it. granted i didnt spend that much time on it (about 5 mins) but i wanted to get a point across that adding brightness to it doesnt make it better. go into the downloads section and find the thread with the "austin powers hog". go read the replies i gave to him and follow the same ideas. i would post it here but im not going to double track when i have other stuff to do... sorry.

if i had to rate this right now as if it where in the downloads section i wouldnt and simply say.. "it needs alot of work". i get the point your trying to make the hog "clean looking" but from my point im just not seeing it.

What do i do with the multi purpose to make it shiner, color it white??? Thanks for the help.
