Resistance is futile
Not being a big fan of throwing things away, I tend to 'assimilate' old skins. Big geek and a Hell of a Trekkie, I combed UT skin sites early on, like the 1st year the game came out, for Star Trek themed skins. I have TNG skins, Red Shirt skins I edited from a crappy Captain Kirk skin, Klingon skins, and Borg.
I've only ever found 2 main Borg skins, both having excellent qualities and both having crappy qualities. So I took the two of them and hybridized them together. Two entirely different sets of skins, both of them Borg...
...and when I get sick of a particular skin I edit it to drain color from the face and hands and assimilate into my little UT Collective.
We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service ours.

Re: Resistance is futile
In my opinion they don't really look like borg, more like an alternate version of necris skins

Re: Resistance is futile
The post wasn't random. It's a skin project that I've worked on and I wanted to display them, progressively worked on as I continue to add more faces to it for the reasons described above.
As to the silly response, God made me goofy. I'm a HUGE UT99 fan but I'm also seriously wonky as all get out.
Necris? Pfft!

Re: Resistance is futile
You aren't coming across as wonky bro. You are coming across as someone on the verge of getting the negative attention of the admins. A bit of advice? Cool it down with the ADHD posting of archive threads and ease up some on the "I need everyone to see how goofy I am" routine. Having to wade through all these senseless replies you are making is cumbersome and out of character with the vibe of the board.
So long, and thanks for all the fish

the post being random referred by crevion was related to your pic post, not the initial thread postEvilGrins wrote:The post wasn't random.

regarding your "necris? pfft" response you should start dealing better with criticism in the future, your skins are ok and well done but I don't see in any way any relation to the borg style, that's it - it's a subjective point of view, yes, but you have to deal with different point of views

Re: Resistance is futile
You better be less "wonky" then.
Shadow provided a simple opinion, pretty much like you give yours to many stuff other people made much better than anything you shown so far, so don't be cocky. If you want to post content, accept the fact people will comment on it, and it won't be always the comments you will want to hear but you will have to deal with them and accept them, otherwise don't bother to post content.
And yeah, if you want to know my honest opinion, they are well done but I also think they look like more "Necris" than Borg. There.

You really think he did not get that? I mean why did I quote his random pic post then at all?Shadow wrote: the post being random referred by crevion was related to your pic post, not the initial thread post

Re: Resistance is futile
You seem to have quite some talent, ever skinned a monster or weapon yet? and are you able to create HD skins?

Re: Resistance is futile
Not exactly, and thanks. I once switched the skins to the Skaarj Trooper in the game with one of the skins I use for the playable SKtroopers, a camo-uniform that'd work well in Infiltration games, but I had to replace the file. It was one of UT99's main files and the incompatability that came from the file update made it so no one could login to LAN games.
I've never individually changed one, no. I don't know how to make models or monsters, just good at editing what's already there with the most basic of tools. I actually edit skins with ThumbsPlus & Microsoft Paint.
