Well, i was very happy wth my sam-man skin. The likeness was 100%, i had my Jay-Jays jeans, my colorado's, and my favorite Jeans west white shirt ($15, or two for $25). Everyhting was how it was supposed to be.
I even got my ears to map the ear model 100%!!!!!
OMG!
And this was my first scratch built skin.
All the textures were originals, i took photo's of my actual cloathes/shoes to get the textures...
And god damn, it took a long time..
saturday- Wake up 10am, go on computer 10:10am.
-start skin
-finnish face 4:15am sunday
sunday- Wake up 12:30pm, go on computer 12:45pm
-continue skin
-finnish body textures and mapping 7:30pm
Anyway, thats that...
BUT THEN!
I get a virus....
One of those scr viruses that veryone got because some dip **** who has all the clan leaders on his MSN didn't bother to try and get rid of it....
So i figure. Its been a good 4-5 months since my last format, and its quiker then defraging...
SO off i go...
Totally forgetting about my skin, and my skins files on my C drive...
"Oh dear" i said (F**K F**K OMG FG! C**T H*E ***** MOFO COMP HDD FORMAT BS!) anyway, after i remove my fist form the wall, and pick my monitor up off the ground i set out re-doing it...
This is very hard to do when you have no motivation. And no original textures..
Wel anyway, its a lng story (Already?) so heres my mid Alpha stages and current beta skin stages.
Thanx to Bender for helping me get some clear shots..
