~Skins by Arky!~

[Arkeyla]

Okay, I finally got happy enough with a skin to be inspired to make it available to you all. There will be more! Can't say how often, as I have piles and piles of stuff on my plate, but I shall do my best to get them out semi-regularly until I have made one for every type of dye....

Bloodmarked Skin (Crimson)
I realised I hadn't used my newly downloaded spatter brushes in Photoshop yet, and thought that a skin would be a good place to play with them. Yes, the blood spots are symmetrical, but think of them as something like a tattoo instead. *grin* There are more on her shoulder blades and the back of her legs, but I was too lazy to do a rear view shot. *pokes tongue out* I'm quite proud of the way the dress came out, too! Comments welcome, as I can only get better in future skins.
Grecian Flower Skin (Rose)
A nice, feminine yet still cheeky skin - more simplistic that the previous one, but I still like the way it came out. Again was too lazy to do a rear view shot... sorry! Also with this one I tried to do a more 'enclosed' sort of shoe to match the girliness of the colour scheme. Also notice that she has a fringe! I haven't tried it with very many pieces of headwear, but as it is drawn onto the forehead of the face area, it should show up. Hopefully. Cross fingers!
Dragon Blue Skin (Royal Blue)
I felt like playing with stockings, then thought 'why not make more of the clothing see-through?' So this is what you get. All the 'bits' are covered, but there's a peekaboo factor that I think worked out really well. Again, played with using the forehead to draw a fringe on, and decided that it needed a tattoo. Hence, the 'dragon' part of the name I gave it.
Jungle Girl Skin (Brown)
Per request, I finished tweaking this one and am releasing it. Though I started with the brown dye skin from the Skins for Dummies pack, I ended up tweaking the skin tone and adding bits so I may as well have started from scratch! *grin* Decided to add the 'leg warmers' as well to balance out the furry skirt, and the forehead band cause I felt like it.
Jade Lady Skin (Slate)
She's on a roll today! Yet another skin. Again wanted to try a more 'shoe' like covering, and this is what happened. Rather than adding a fringe to this one, I decided to have a forehead jewel instead, just to see what happened. The arm bracelets took a while for me to be happy with their positioning, but I finally got it, and as usual the 'dress' covers everything but is still cheeky.
Natural Wrath Skin (Olive)
As promised, here's the ivy-twined skin! I quite like the way it came out. For me, it really blurs the line between wearing leaves and wearing clothes that look like leaves. But that's just my own thoughts. I tried to make the eyes look scary without being too over the top, and I think I succeeded. But again, that's just my opinion.
Enchantress Skin (Purple)
Something a little different - I tried sleeves! It was hard to try and make something that fitted with the world in purple, so I gave up and went outside the box. Bye-bye box! Not that any of my others really fit - I just tried (and failed) to do so with this one. Anyway, those gold medallion-type thingies? They're actually greek coins made into pendants! Not that you can get close enough to see that...
Sweet Sunrise Skin (Gold)
Another slightly girly one, with yet another style of dress and 'hair additions'. It might be a little bright for some people's taste, but I attempted to include enough gold hues and a touch of copper that it will look good with a lot of the game's armor etc. You will have to excuse the saccharine name - my brain was refusing to wake up enough to come up with anything better.
Dark Immortal Skin (Burgundy)
Okay, I know the tex file is written as 'burgendy', and it has to be that way to work, but I just can't bring myself to ignore proper spelling! (Check an online dictionary, You'll see.) Anyway, with the suggestion to peep at the new mastery names for that particular mod, I was struck my a vampire combination called 'Immortal'. So, I went with this. I got the boots and long arm pieces idea from Alejo's Lady Death skin - hopefully that's okay to pinch! If not, I'll take it down.
Harem Dancer Skin (Light Blue)
Originally used this outfit for another version of my character Ariadne, known as Pusscat if you dare (cause she's a leopard girl), but loved it so much I wanted to release it in a different form! So, human in full, but same outfit with a few bits added. The white parts are fringing, and I just couldn't get the image of a dancer out of my head. Looks like I can still come up with proper names after all!

See my next post for more skins....

I like the various wrappings you put on the legs and arms. They are time consuming to make them align but once done they look great. The same for the ones in the chest. The eyes look great, cat-like

More Skins!

I didn't realise that I had made eleven skins already! So I have had to edit this post to include more images of the latest and future.

Feral Fatale Skin (Tan)
I agonised over whether to use this as 'tan' cause of the colour, or 'hunter' cause of the wolf theme of the tattoos, but eventually went with tan. Obviously. I gave this one full gloves rather than just arm pieces, but I have no idea whether wearing in-game armor will affect this or not on the hand area. Still, you could always go without! Also I just noticed that the boots don't quite match up on the inner leg, but it's not a glaring problem IMHO.
Silvered Steel Skin (Gray)
Another one managed to sneak into being during study time - okay, so it had been mostly finished, but I wanted to tweak it a bit by adding the long sleeves and making the cut-out areas rather than having it solidly transparent. Okay, that makes no sense, but you get what I mean. One thing bugged my about this, and that was having to type it as 'gray'. I'm used to spelling it 'grey'!
Evil Ivory Skin (White)
Finally managed to get out another skin! This one I have no clue what it was inspired by. I was just playing about and it happened! The only thing that was really planned about it was the fact that I wanted to use a fair amount of white, and the fact that it's gloves rather than arm pieces. The rest simply crawled from the dark recesses of my poor tired brain all on it's own.
Forest Stalker Skin (Hunter)
Only two more skins to go now (orange and black)! And yes, there is something in her belly button. It's an emerald. So there. As you can see, I kind of skipped the whole skirt thing and tried to make this one look like pants. You know, for those hard-core bushwalkers who don't want their legs scratched to bits. But somehow I just couldn't bring myself to do more than a bra-ish top. Hope you like this one too!
Tawny Amazon Skin (Orange)
This makes it only one skin left to make now! I wanted to do something fairly simple compared to some of my other ones, but still make it worth the effort. So I relied upon the patterning on the clothing, rather than the clothing itself, to get a rough and ready sort of look happening but still make her pretty! I know it's not a traditional Amazon look, but for some reason the name just seemed to fit well.

Added my second skin!

[OoALEJOoO]

First time I see a skin that changes the hair style using the forehead, cool idea.

[Evil666]

Awesome !!

Arkeyla, thanks for your lending your artistic work to the skins. I must say that you did a very good job

Is there any chance that the other skin will be released? That one which was on this thread: http://www.titanquest.net/forums/ski...in-please.html

Thanks again for your work

[Arkeyla]

lufe - most likely - I just want to tweak that face a bit and slightly change the skirt colour so it matches more armor types better - planning to make it more golden, so will take away a little of the greenish hue it has now.

My Persephone is so pretty with your skin !!

[Cleon]
