Hey guys, its been a while since I made a skin, but here is a new one I made. It is basically a Sniper Joe that looks like a Prop Hunter from GMod Prophunt (and/or the Elite Combine Soldier from Half-Life 2). I found it awesome to actually make this skin. I only have one screenshot of it, and here it is (screenshot was taken in mirror room of Dr. Light's Lab):

Notes:
*If you want to make a MM8BDM Prophunt mod and need a Hunter skin, you can use this, no credit needed.
*The reason I did this is because like the Elite Combine Soldier, the Sniper Joe has one eye.
*If you enjoy this skin, please send me feedback.

Is this just a simple recolor?
-
Well, yes it is, but I made it just for fun.
-
Yeah but MM8BDM skins traditionally use cyan/blue coloring for the sprites so you can see weapon transitions. If your skin doesn't follow that then people probably won't want to download it.
It also means there's no difference between it and the original skin aside from inconvenient coloring.

Well, he could technically color the shoulder pads and eye blue, and the belt buckle cyan, and it might be be good enough. You could also try and make the skin look a bit more different, design-wise. Not sure what the "prop hunter" looks like, though. And incorporate some more ways to add in more blue and cyan through design details.

Nah, I'm sticking with it looking like a Sniper Joe.
-
The reason I wanted it to look like a Sniper Joe is because using a Sniper Joe skin would be perfect for making an Elite Combine Soldier skin.
-
Well an issue with that falls under, your "Elite Combine Soldier" for prophunt will be using a specific weapon for the mod I presume, in which that weapon's colors would be the colors you want, thus it would be unneeded to make a recolored skin unless you were swapping where the color change takes place, in which you would just need to make the blue/cyan corrispond to where you want the colors to show up when the weapon is selected, which will make your skin still usable as a regular skin in all other game modes, since you have no blue/cyan it will not show any weapons or even team colors.
Secondly, I'ma warn you about the likely incoming warning about double posting, and multiple skin threads.
-
@fortegigasgospel Dude, there is blue and cyan on the shoulder pads. The white is for the armor.
-
What he meant to say was, it isn't enough blue and cyan to be considered a significant amount. What you've recolored is barely anything.
-
Ok, WTF.
-
Nine added pixels and different colors on an already existing skin a new skin does not make. Anybody could do this, it isn't creative by any means, nor is it original.
-
What I was saying is that you didn't need to add the white, as if this was for a prophunter mod, it would likely be using a custom weapon, which you could have GIVE it the white where you wanted it.

Ok, I'm redoing the skin and making it look like the actual Elite Combine Soldier.
-
Ok guys, I decided "Screw it, I'm keeping it looking like a Sniper Joe." Now, its brand new and now there is some blue and cyan in there. Also, new screenshots:

Here is what it looks like with Dive Missile (what his colors should be in a PropHunt mod)

No doubleposting, pls.
-
Perfectly okay to double post in your own topic for updates.
The skin still doesn't look like anything other than a shift of colors, though.
-
I understand that modifying existing core skins is an okay way to learn how to skin, but you're hardly trying. This isn't "brand new", it's a worse recolor.
-
I don't mean to jump on some kind of bandwagon, I've been wanting to say this..
.. Without proper punctuation!
It's pretty clear you made this for that prophunter mod
and let me ask something
why do you have to put the ugliest Saxton Hale grade leash on it
you're trying to make a Combine Soldier when you can simply make it a Sniper Joe
Sniper Joes are way better
actually no let's say it this way
you want to make a MM8BDM prophunt mod
but you're looking to make it a Garry's Mod Prophunt: IN MM8BDM! (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RecycledINSPACE) (feat lack of 8BDM)
