[wip] M9 Hawk In Tsa Green

Supra_SoldierSupra_Soldier Join Date: 2003-02-02 Member: 12993Members, Constellation
Before I get started, let me say that this is the first thing I have ever skinned, <i>ever</i>. So be gentle with your replies please, that and I'm sensitive <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

I've always liked the M9 Hawk model, I just never used it because none of the skins matched the default guns. Since I liked the model so much, I figured I would go ahead and try to skin it myself. I must say, after trying this, I have a lot more respect for the people that skin guns, it took me almost a whole day just to come up with this! Anyway, enough of my rambling, here is what I've done so far, I hope you like it:

The Render:

Yes, I know the render sucks, but hey, give me a little credit, all I have is jHLMV <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

The Flat:

Note that the Decepticon watermark is just that, and not a part of the skin.

Feel free to offer <i>friendly</i> C&C, I know I have a lot to learn yet. I'm still trying to decide whether or not to finish the skin, because as I now know, skinning is a <b>lot</b> tedious of work.

Oh, and welcome me back, this is my first post here in a loooong time (j/k I know no one remembers me <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif' /><!--endemo-->).

    Lightning dude! It's all about the lightning!

    And that's probably the best skin i've seen on this forum, apart from Brigs, Dilljanas and
    Brimstones skins <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Brig's work? This is Chrono's model getting skinned by Supra_Soldier. A very nice skin I might add.

    Seriously, you need to keep your mouth shut. I don't think I'm alone here when I say I'm about fed up with your senseless, flamebaiting garbage. Ever since you joined these forums, you've contributed nothing but idiotic post after idiotic post. I challenge you to put your inner moron aside for one week, browse whatever tutorials you wish, stop posting stupid replies, and come back at the end of the week with an actual contribution to this community.

    Nice work Supra, and I can't wait to see the finished product. Excellent use of technique there, and like Drake said, a good color tone to match. I wish I had seen you here before so I could have given you a proper welcome to the forums. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Make sure the gun is brighter up front, and add blues to your metal. Try to use real metal patterns overlayed on top at a low opacity.
