Cthulu Mythos Skin Pack

Description
Okay, and next up we bring to the table.... paintbucketed Desann and Cultist? Well, kinda.

'Kinda'? Yeah, 'kinda'. I mean kinda as in they are flat colors, but they don't exactly look like the "lolirsplashpintbukatovrmesh" type of paintbucketing. There's a degree of control, as seen in the fact the entire texture files aren't covered by the same color. The intricate patterning as shown in red isn't a bad dealio, but again the semi-flat coloration just lets it down. =/

'Kinda' also means, paintbucketing isn't the only thing that's been done. There [i]are[/i] other elements and graphical effects, there's minor scorch/shade effects on parts, etc. That's good, it means Gabe is off to a good start - most people would be content with just slapping a flat color layer over the entire texture file.

Overall, the whole thing comes across as not being as detailed as it should be. The skins are mostly what you'd expect from cel-shading, to be honest. The basics are down good, as is the design. All that's left to do is flesh it out and focus in increasing the detail levels. Venture over to our forums - plenty of graphics experts who will offer you tips and tricks for Photoshop/GIMP, whichever you use, and we'll also offer feedback on... well, anything we're capable of offering feedback on.

It's typical debut material, which isn't inherently bad. In fact, I've seen far worse debuts - my own probably ranking among the worst. There's a lot of room for improvement, and the concept and design is good, so keep at it Gabe, and as your skills improve, don't forget these skins - because I'd be interested to see what they'd look like once they reach their full potential.
