Quote from danielzzz :Mitsubishi Starion Cup edition (XR GT).De-badged...
My first skin actually

Pretty nice for a first one! Decals look hi-quality, and it seems that at least a bit more than 5mins has been taken with the skin. Some tips though:
1) Skins are stretched a bit when imported to the game models. This should be taken in account when skinning. Some info concerning this: http://www.lfs-gear.com/TUTORIALS/TuT_Stretch.html
2) You could have tried to continue the squares/triangles from side of the car to the front/back. (Tough one, but the skin would've looked much better.)
3) Exhaust pipe shouldn't be white.
4) If you aren't already using Master Skinnerz kits, they're a great help http://www.lfs-gear.com/kitz.html

Looking very good so far! How about some sponsor decals, they're pretty safe option I think. There looks to be good spots behind the wheels, above the bumbers, and maybe some to the bumpers too. Left side of the engine hood would be cool too.

Some suggestions: The writing on the windscreen sticker looks to be straight. You could try to curve it to match the curving of the sticker. Then, your signature could be pulled down a couple of pixels, now it seems to "melt" in to the window. Also, I'd probably flip the Monster logo on the rear spoiler around, but of course it's a personal preference. Just my $.o2

Quote from brandons48 :I was going to do a pic of his starion!

Maybe you should blur the gravel flying off, as it is moving fast

and add a little bit of dirt to the bodywork.

Quote from Vegas Las :Nice !
Maybe more gravel flying from the front tire and the rear of the car ?

Thanks, both of you! Will be playing around with the gravel a bit more.
@brandons48, not all the gravel should be blurred, see this http://www.mitsubishi-motors.c ... prc/photo/r02/r02_h04.jpg But yeah, maybe near the tires.

One from me, this new Starion from Caoz is awesome! Tried to do a bit of dust and gravel flying from the tires, but I'm not all satisfied with it. Any tips?

Quote from logitekg25 :what layer atributes do i give that so it only shows the dirt through

You don't have to change anything, it's a transparent .png. Just put it on top of your skin. This is the case with Photoshop at least..

Quote from BOSCHO :a quick edit

Uuh..! Nice to see my skins popping up! But anyways, I think you should do a little bit more for the pic if you're gonna edit it. Make the wheels spin and add motion blur and such.. I would also tone the reflections down a bit, but each of his own, I guess.

Quote from ElvisArg :FZR Team Skin. Hope u like it.

That looks great! But as it is a team skin, shouldn't you put some "private" mention on the skin file? Just a thought..

Quote from tinky winky :Okay it's not that great but geez, its only one of my first ever skins Enjoy, comments welcome.

P.S: Thanks to design-dudes for the bodykit

Looks like quality work. However, credits aside, there are few things you should consider changing. First, it seems to me that you haven't counter-streched those logos. Second, please get rid of that "rainbow" cage and make it solid color. Lastly, you should propably move the Platinum logo - the tagline doesn't show correctly.
But all in all, very good first skin.

My vote goes for Sponge, I think it shows best the "nature of LFS", the others were more or less "LFS and nature." The writing on the bottom was a bit meh... but oh well.
JO53PHS' and Ricksta's were also great, Ricksta should've added a driver though. JO53PHS I would suggest to add a little grain on top of the LX, to blend it more with the photo.

Quote from Shadowww :And removes antialiasing :<

Not necessarily. You can use nHancer (assuming you have nVidia card) to restore AA and to do other tweaking too.

Hate to break it to you, but you're not allowed to use old images. Pretty nice pic, though.

Just curious, but if you know what's wrong with it, why don't you fix it?

Put them over a template. These lights are part of the skin, not "real" ones.

Out of curiosity, do you have any tutorials on how you do these awesome photoshoppings?

Quote from thekage :
Opinions are most welcome

Well, from what I can make out of the pics, I'd say the side vinyls are pretty nice (but no AA?). However, I think you should take off the lights, the grill and the triangle on the hood. And lower/raise the logitech(?) logo at the rear.

Newgrounds skin for the UF1. The XFG version can be found here. Sorry, no fancier preview pic this time.

Quote from Chrisuu01 :Hel yeah i like it this is greatnes

Hah, thanks a lot! Everyone go online and promote NG! I'm planning on converting this design to XFR and/or the UF cars too.

Quote from [BeatR] Tmiothy :I hand made the stripe on the car and put the sponsers on with precision. these are also avalible on my website
http://api.photoshop.com/home_ ... 74fb3497f9b84d5a5f183cc0f (stripe w/ Honda logo and sponsers)

It seems to me that you haven't counter-stretched the sponsor decals. There will be some serious stretching when the skin is actually seen on the car. No further comment...

Ok, my first proper XF(G) skin. Dedicated to the original and the largest flash portal on the internet, I present you the Newgrounds skin. Hope you like.

BTW, how easy would it be to convert this to a XFR skin?

Quote from Nicce :can someone have a go at this one ?

As a sort of a personal request.
Here you go, Nicce. Not very much is done, but maybe you'll spot the differences.. And I really need a good tutorial on how to make smoke. Anyone?

Quote from Nicce :RAW Lfs..

May I enquire, how do you take those screenshots? I mean, the pics are nice, good composition and all, but the quality is pretty horrible.

Btw, I'm working on the pic you posted to the 'edit my screenshot' thread. Still got to do the smoke. I'll try to get it done today, but we'll see.. I'm pretty slow with these things most of the time.

Quote from Töki (HUN) :I have the same issues when using motion blur. The cuts around the car are not really nice. Haven't find the solution yet.

You mean those "haloes"? I use the clone stamp to fix those. Gives pretty good results if done correct.

Quote from stickylfs :LoL Wut?

What's with that "artistic" filter? IMO, those don't look very good.

Quote from T.J. :@ macsy; IF people like? They should like it and you should post more of that flawless art!

Haha, thanks a bunch! Although they're far from flawless.. But at least one guy commented, so I'm happy

Well, guess I should also post some of my edits here. In no particular order, some older work. More to come, if people like.
