RayW Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 NB: This is a hype thread at the moment, but will become a release thread upon completion. Thoughts and opinions are welcome. I'm not giving an ETA on completion as I'm working on this in my spare time, and can't commit to a date as such.

Mattywood Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I love the layout, especially how Name, Gender, etc go from black to grey to black to help them all pop out. And the cover is pretty nifty too. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayW Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Thanks. Work on this is going quite slow at the moment but its coming along. I'll post more screens tomorrow. The title screen was inspired by the Football Manager series of games. Glad you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Liked it. Sure going to change my skin to yours when it releases. Take your time man, it's getting really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpapa42 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Dig that. Looks good. Like that its a fairly neutral coloring, so it should look swank with most mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinsuke Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Really looking forwart to this. I think it will be the first skin I prefer to the original. Only thing that seems a little off is the huge Hogan-ish render that dominates the title screen. If you could put the exact same screen in without the big guy as an alternative version, it would look fantastic in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleisch Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Wow. This is looking amazing! Keep up the good work, I'll be looking forward to the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Kobain Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I really love the layouts. Besides the colors seems perfect to me. Its clean, simple, and elegant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phreak Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Very cool skin. Easy on the eyes to boot! I'll definitely be downloading upon release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatallylost Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Nice. I've become more of a subtler colors man recently, and the simple black white gray looks nice. Dunno about Hogan though. haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onelonly Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 The Hulkster is a bit distracting. Other than that, I'm using your skin once you complete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayW Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 The Hogan type character was inspired by the Football Manager title screen, where they have a "generic" football manager on it, but his face unseen, as shown below (for those that don't know it): http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51aRArwjtRL._AA300_.jpg However, I'm not opposed to removing the Hogan image, so I will make the default a blank title screen, with the Hogan one as a alternate.

Bigpapa42 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I kinda dig the Hogan. I like that its a render and I got the FM reference (which might be way I dig it). One of the first things I thought of when I saw that was that it was definitely Hogan but it could also be vintage Sam Strong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTrevinos Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Great job! Looking forward to the release. I wouldn't mind using it in my game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phreak Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 You might go a little more FM with the title screen. Shove Hogan/Strong to the left and try and overlay the logo, perhaps? Or even just flipping the logo to the other side and keep Hulk/Sam to the left? Just spit balling here really. KUTGW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crayon Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I love the layout, especially how Name, Gender, etc go from black to grey to black to help them all pop out. Well agreed. For once I actually don't mind the default skin, but visual separation of information such as what you've got here is a huge plus. I will note that with the logo being where it is on the title screen, it causes one's eyes to be drawn to the Hulkster's junk more than anything else. Although I find that pretty funny so don't have any issues leaving it how it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakerNGN74 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Really like how this skin looks thus far, I too am not really a fan of having Hogan on the title screen. I mean it looks fine but as someone who primarily is a C-Verse guy it just doesn't make a lot of sense for me to be playing a game with the C-Verse when Hogan is on the title screen of the Skin. I know this might come off as picky but it's just my preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this might come off as picky but it's just my preference. This is part of the reason I disliked it. The other part quoted below is what I had in mind after seeing the title screen for FM. You might go a little more FM with the title screen. Shove Hogan/Strong to the left and try and overlay the logo, perhaps? Or even just flipping the logo to the other side and keep Hulk/Sam to the left? Just spit balling here really. KUTGW I'd go with the image of real person instead just like the FM title screen.

RayW Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 I'd go with the image of real person instead just like the FM title screen. I tried this to start with. The problem I had was finding an image of a real person that wasn't wearing very specific tights. Believe it or not the "Hogan" image I used was the most generic one. If anyone knows of any (high quality) images of someone just wearing black tights or something similar, please let me know, as that would be preferable to me also. Thanks.

How about from the waist up instead, like the Football Manager cover it takes inspiration from? (Aaand it would sidestep the "here's a dude's crotch next to the logo" issue as well, just saying... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
