Evolution of a Masterskin...Slider XP

Evolution of a Masterskin...Slider XP

In the beginning...

Never at a loss for skinning ideas,I was however having trouble deciding what to start after Knot Vista.
vStyler was bugging me every damn day..."so...what you gonna do next?"

"Dammit John,I aint even finished Knot Vista yet" I says.

"maybe a theme based on the SR71 Blackbird,...or something that looks like vintage guitar equipment"

Instead I went with a chinese abacus...go figure.

I.R. Brainiac, I've been watching from the sidelines to get an idea of just what it takes for a skinner to do their thing. It is amazing at the amount of time, effort and skill that is required.

Thank you for allowing all of us to able to understand better that it just doesn't happen over night.

By the way, excellent job.

Hi Leo,John.  
Same trick but using the advanced mode hsl coloring to get the bars to stay gold.(that odd little button next to the hue slider)

first off--thank you for the privilege of taking us all into your creative process...it's an honor. truely eye opening and very enjoyable. i do have one question though, why the square close,max,min buttons? with everything else being so rounded and curvey they kind of stick out to me. but, i've never made a skin of any kind so who am i to say. i was just wondering. this is one of the most unique skins i've seen, i'm eagerly anticipating it's release.

again, thanks for giving us all a peak into the process.

The Green looks nice but the blue is still my fav

More advanced hsl coloring in WB config...nice feature they added there.Actually capable of desaturating a single color and leave the bars at full saturation.
