Community Windowblind #2

Community Windowblind #2

Hey everyone hope everyone is doing well!!I had a good time doing the Easter WB again special thanks to PO Smedley and Life is a Game for thier contributions!!Great job guys!
Last time I waited a little long to get started so I thought I would get an earlier start this time!

So here we go this is an open invitation to skinners and artists to help put together a community Windowblind for HALLOWEEN!I think it will be fun and rewarding so come on and lets all do a section and have a good time doing it!This time we are not quite so pushed so we can bounce around a couple ideas!

option4 and a quick mod to add option 5

I'm boring but I like option 4 best.  Option 5 is a close second though.   #5 really depends on the image under the text.

 . . . I sure wish someone else would chime in . . .

I think it looks much more classy just not as scary

imo, i would lose the window and keep it plain.....thats a tricky area to skin especially with a pic........you have the issue of stretching when its at other resolutions..(i had the same problem with wednesdays nightmare.....) if you wanna go nuts in that area, i reckon the place to go nuts is in the shell pics....large music, large search ect........ its too busy otherwise.....but thats just my opinion only.....

i would take a blue from that marble and skin it blue the whole way down, take out the small shell pics but go wild on the big ones.......*shrugs* but not marble the whole way down...but a blue colour from that marble so it matches in........


ps love the pumpkin wearing headphones.....how funky is that???

Been watching from the sidelines, like most people here, and have enjoyed how this WB has come together. It shows, that even as a community WB, alot of time, effort, talent and skill is needed to pull this off. Brings a whole new appreciation of what it takes, alteast for me.  

Congrats to all that have been working on this. Can't wait for the WB to re released.

Great Stuff so far! AVMan, I think that Option1 was not so great as you couldn't read the writing in front of each panel in the info bar. I like option 4, as it does stick to the grave idea, but it is also creative to have the tree with jack.

I like the ideas spinning around at the moment! Great!

What movie covers are you looking at?!?!?!?  

They look good . . but don't seem to have the same feel as the rest of the skin.

just remember shell backgrounds stretch, if you make it tall looks bad short and vice versa, not sure on those shell arrow glyph's either.. what are they? perhaps some curvy arrows..every image in the skin doesnt need to be a halloween symbol.

2 others I had done
thanks for the input guys!

BTW John getting rid of those arrows they went with another bar

Photo and the web.

Some of the 3d work you've done would make a very interesting Day of the Dead skin.
Zubaz goes to find the music for Grim Fandango
