I wasn't sure where this should go. If it's in the wrong place, could a mod please move it?
The Skinning ContestThe contest is basically for all you Photoshoppers out there who know how to make well-textured nice-looking stuff. In this competition, you'll be skinning the entire of the CMS I'm using for my new project. In order to help with sizes of images, below is a PSD file containing all the autoshapes I used in the default skin. If you're interested, read on.
ObjectiveTo make a skin for the menu system in my latest proejct.
Rules* All boxes within the skin must be in the places designated, so to fit the data.
* Entries must be unique in some way.
* Skins must be named
* The logo in the bottom left of the menu may be changed. It must contain "Underwood", or the name of the theme.
The Basic, Default SkinThe default skin looks like this:
The PSD Filehttp://www.megaupload.com/?d=SP68UFO6JudgingDevelopers of the project will judge the skins and decide on the best ones.
PrizesThe best three skins of the main menu will be asked to create item, status, and equip menus in the same style. These skins will then be featured in the project, and the skinners will be credited in the game's Graphic section, and an honoured NPC may be made in the maker's username.
If there are more than three good skins, more people will achieve the prize, since there will be many skins in the game upon release.
SubmissionThe competition is open immediately when this thread is created.
Submissions should be PM'd to me in a PNG file or posted in the thread.
The closing date is the 15th of October.
Judging phases will be completed by the 18th of October, and the winners will be asked to complete their set and given the other PSDs at that time.
Possible ThemesThe game is rather dark, so try not to make the themes overly cartoony or happy. The game also mixes elements from different eras (Future, medievil etc) so don't feel that any skin would be anachronistic.
Final NoteGood luck. If any more information is needed, let me know.
