I never saw ST1... Did you post it after I posted?

I would like to change my vote to that.

My first vote was meteor.

Pray to GOD for him to reveal himself to you.

@ All
Please see Mustafar Snowstorm
new pictures.
Voting will stop next week Mon @ 12am PST.

@ Tankster
Those pictures you like were done by me.
On my time !
My only roll in this was to collect the submissions and post them.
But due to the way some pictures were taking by the Artist I had to either edit them or redo them, to try and hide who did it !

@ All
If you want the program I use it is called Torgue Show Tool Pro.
its like 29.99 and has a 30 day trial period if you want to check it out.
Racer has a great thread on how to use it !
Will try to dig it up

9 votes! That's it?

It would be nice to have a little more feedback on this.

Tuesday, May 23, 2006 at 5:52:41 AM

I think we're up to 12 now, but yes, so far the responses are much lower than I'd hoped for.

UPDATE: There, that oughtta help. The problem may be that there was no external flag letting people know when the skins were posted, or that lots of folks don't regularly check the Skins forum. I've posted a "Come Vote" thread in General with a link.

No, I don't. I'll either post it on my site and/or here in the skin library.

And yes, mine is the heavy. I also think of it as a personal best since everything is made from scratch. I didn't use any premade textures or patterns, just the tools within Photoshop. I spent a lot of time working it out in my head and there were a few permutations before I finally got on the right track. I also like it since its very realistic in my book, since it could be a steel tank that has just driven through a lava field and into a snowstorm, which is why the metal is super heated in the rear, but frozen up front. Perhaps "Frantic Snowstorm" would have conveyed that better, but the lava planet from Star Wars III is what came to mind first and I liked the idea of a crossover theme.

Anyway, a very satisfying skin for me since I didn't take any short cuts and proved to myself that I do have some skills after all.

And Sersh was correct is his guess, but incorrect in his reasons (other than it was the only heavy tank).

@ Rabban:
Ok ok, but tell me when you ve added it!

Thursday, June 01, 2006 at 1:25:36 PM

I Vote "Burnt Alaska"

LIfe Is Always Better When Other People Are Doing The Work For You.

Thursday, June 01, 2006 at 1:31:47 PM

@Tankster
Well for one I don't have any of those but I'm not scared to say which was mine.
If you have looked at each skinner and what they have done in the past you can pretty much tell who's is who's,
The Burnt Alaska skin is mine.

Was that a comeback or an insult to me?

When I said "balls" I meant it as a joke. Didn't want you to take it personally.

I thought all the skins were nice, some skins needed more votes than others (which in this case didn't happen)

Good job to all and good luck.

Thursday, June 01, 2006 at 2:07:11 PM

LOL no not at all, I was just trying to be alittle funny.

 

Thursday, June 01, 2006 at 2:20:35 PM

I vote for mustafar snowstorm! ;)

 

Thursday, June 01, 2006 at 3:00:43 PM

Um, voting ended awhile ago....

Thursday, June 01, 2006 at 3:05:22 PM

Anyone want to guess at which one mine was? %) or should I just tell you ;)

Friday, June 02, 2006 at 3:37:18 AM

Ok all skinners have posted that I can post their lay outs.
Soon as I get home tonight,
this will be updated with all the lay outs and who did what skin.
I will also double check the votes but I believe ST1 won by one point.
Please let me double check that again though.
Will post again when header has been updated.

@ Skinners
Great work.
Loved all the different concepts of blending Fire and Ice together !
Congrats to all. B)

 

Friday, June 02, 2006 at 4:40:24 AM

Are we counting the late vote from rip? If not then I'm wrong :) didn't see that you had counted rob's vote already :(

@LW, btw - If I am reading it correctly, Rabban doesn't want you to post his. He'll post it on his site himself.

Friday, June 02, 2006 at 5:41:55 AM

@ All
I have triple checked the Votes & our Winner with 6 total Votes is ST1 made by DrsawBones !
Please give a big congrats to her ! XD

I have also posted all the tank skins and who made what !
Please note;
If you want the rest of the parts please contact the skinner for them, unless it is GQ's then you must contact me for them.

@ DrSawBones
What will be our next Theme ?

@ Master TMO
When will we start the next one and how long will they have ? B)

Good Job SawBones,
GIRL POWER takes the top 2 spots, yep, yep
;)

 

Friday, June 02, 2006 at 5:44:56 PM

Congtatulations to both (UF)ettes!
I gotta say, my fish intuition was wrong. I had everybodies skin guessed, except I had DocSaw's and TMO's switched.
I enjoyed seeing the layouts, the previews don't show as much of the art.
Great work everyone.
About meteor: I used a little more abstract interpretation of "fire and ice", with a meteor being a ball of ice traveling through space, that burns up when it hits our atmosphere. I used alot of c&p, but I didn't just slap it on there. Alot of time went into resizing and lining up the pics. Most of the skin is original, though.
This contest was alot of fun, and I'm glad it was so successful. PTT is wicked awesome.
Can't wait to find out the next theme.
