Need skinning ideas halp

Like what themes etc

You called it Tuberculosis, so maybe use a rusted metal texture, with maybe some green overlayed for a decay + diseased design?
You can make good skins in the botlab, but you have a lot less freedom and can only work with a low resolution. I make my skins in Paint.Net and it works really nicely.

What this guy said.

[cephalopod]

You could always make a couple of odd green tga decals in gimp then just apply those as needed to a rusty chassis

Noticed a mistake in the splash, so I corrected it in the new one



Thoughts?

[Lemonism]

That's much better, certainly, but I think it could be improved slightly. The weapon slot is very nicely lined up and the whole skin is better to fit the theme of the robot, but the green areas could be improved.
Here's a picture to show what I had in mind:

This is just a rusted metal texture taken from google images with some green semi-transparent pentagons over the top, with some distortion effects applied in Paint.Net.

Jebus crust that sounds complicated, but I guess I could try it

It really isn't complicated, honest :P
Do you have Paint.Net? If you do I can tell you what I did step by step, but I wouldn't be any use with other programs.

Yes I do

[Lemonism]

I'll PM you then, just so I don't spam this thread any more.

[Natster-104]

I cant seem to get a skin I'm happy about

but heres something I am proud about, plastic 10:




MY FIRST BOT WITH EYES 

[Lemonism]

Skin is kinda bizarre, but I quite like it. Eyes are pretty cool too. A weapon slot would be nice (and also the obligatory 'skin would look better in HD' comment I always make) but otherwise I really like it.

I tried to give it a red-neon look so it would look enraged, see what I can do about the weapon slot

Edit: forgot to mention that this might be my 15-1 entry

[Lemonism]

The red neon is actually quite a cool effect, especially given the low resolution of the skin. It was more the placement of it, and also the greenish blue part in the middle that I thought looked a bit odd.

[cephalopod]

I don't like the flipper not being held on all the way along it into the chassis, but otherwise it's alright. The eyes are okay. I should know. I like eyes.

You know you can send a buttload of entries, right? Fifteen To One has unlimited signups.

can I enter this 100 times
yeah, I meant to say one of them, anyway, thanks for your thoughts craaig and lemonism, I will see what I can do, but also Kurt, how do you like it?

[Philippa]

It's a pretty decent build actually, but I would make the flipper open in a more realistic arc.

:D

I couldn't attach the flipper any other way, any help?

[Philippa]

No I mean how wide the flipper opens.

[Natster-104]

No I mean how wide the flipper opens.

That makes things more simple then, a simple fix, though my only worry is the self-righting
