Hunting humans and other aliens is dangerous work. Injury is part of the job. This daring predator enters the hunt with minimal armor and shows his wounds with pride.

From the "Predator" movies.

That should be fine. It sounds like it will be mostly your own work. Just include a link back to this page.

I will, I'll also put your name in the additional credit bar if you'd like. Just tell me if you don't like the finished product and I'll remove it.

Thanks. I'm pretty happy with a first-page (top 25) ranking since this is only my second skin. I think it did not reach its full potential largely just because I did not make the contrast high enough. Your skins are a good example of the bolder contrast I should be going for. You have really good color selection.

Yeah, top 25 is definitely a satisfying place to be and although I agree about the contrast (but only a little cause I think it's good even with it) I reckon having Lilfella post his Predator skin probably hurt your entry a little. Would have loved to have seen this getting a lot higher though, truly one of the better skins that slipped through the cracks.

Do you plan to use this just as inspiration, or do you want to use it as a base for the skin you're making?

If you want to upload the file someplace, I'll take a look and see if I can find the issue. I should be able to identify any transparency by using GIMP. Maybe you have some pixel that is just barely transparent, so you can't really tell when looking at it.

I love this skin. What kind of shading tools do you use?

Thanks. I use the 1x1 pencil tool in GIMP for shading. I generally fill
an area with a light color and then shade with the pencil using a dark
color (sometimes just black) with somewhere between 5% and 30%
transparency. This time I used MCSkinEdit for basic layout and viewing,
but it has a bug where the "bottom" textures are backwards. I might try a
different viewing tool for my next skin.
