How does this Quartz reckoning dance go?

Congrats on getting the sticky!

When you doing my requested skin?

Soon. I'm currently approaching an essay deadline (in the middle of summer, yeah, I know -__-) hence the stagnation on my part in the thread over the last few days, for which I apologise.

I'll try and sit down and have some more requests done by the end of the week. Sorry it isn't up yet.

Thanks guys.

Okay, just going to do a quick 'update' for the OP now:

23rd July 2012

The thread was stickied yesterday, after about 130,000 views over the last two and a bit months. I thank the community for the support, and of course the moderators and admins who chose to sticky the thread, not to mention the thanks for the banner that is now above Anthony. Never expected in a million years that either of those things would happen.

This isn't the end. I'll still be taking ideas and uploading new designs for the foreseeable future, and things will be proceeding as normal.

I'm working on creating a thread in the Epic Gamer forum section, which will include a download of the template I made for the Lancer, along with a short video-commentary tutorial roughly guiding the process of making skins at a basic level (the possibilities are infinte. Once the basic template 'concept' is understood, it's just a question of applying them and trying out new techniques to achieve the effect you're after). I'll be encouraging others to use the template and make their own skins, and I will dedicate and maintain the thread OP with the community generated content (I know I sometimes struggle to flesh out your idea; now you can achieve the results you had in your vision ). Look out for that in the coming week too.

Thanks again to everybody (and I mean everybody) and see you back out there.

Wow! Congratulations on the sticky brother gear! You weapon skins truly are a work of art. I believe we'll be seeing your work come judgment day.

Cheers!

Been really enjoying the skins, keep up the great work. Congrats on the sticky and banner.

Congrats on being stickied! This thread definitely deserves it.

**DownInFlames85** · 07-23-2012, 05:13 PM

Hopefully with this being stickied, we'll get some more Gear Heads to come in and gaze at these wonders.

Curse you and your Pokemon skins. What's it up to now? 5?

*fuming

Thanks Ms A

**Orion** · 07-23-2012, 07:27 PM

Hopefully with the sticky, this thread will get more recognition. More than it already has.

Which, in turn, could go very well for you. Like, I dunno, maybe having a few of your skins featured in GOWJ?

Fingers crossed for Quartz.

I'd love to have some of these in GOWJ, the Gears of War 3 transparent skin was for Employees only, have the GOWJ transparent skin(quartz) be for forum members only!

**a fat turkey** · 07-24-2012, 07:32 AM

Dude I have 2 great ideas for skins. You should make a Duke Nukem skin, and also make a Bidoof skin that says "Derp" next to him.

**LoD FENIX** · 07-24-2012, 10:36 AM

Congrats on the sticky and banner man. I was wondering where this thread went lol.

Also is there an ETA on some new skins?

**123MAN** · 07-24-2012, 12:01 PM

Tell me I didn't just see that.

**SneaKerhead2009** · 07-24-2012, 01:26 PM

Grats on the sticky. Looks like your moving up in the world.

But seriously, it'd be frigging awesome if some of these skins made it into Judgement.

I thought it had been deleted for a brief moment.

Thanks, and ETA is a bit uncertain. I hope to have at least a few new skins by Friday, and maybe something new next week.

I'm delaying because things have got a bit busy for me recently (pretty important essay deadline approaching). Sorry about the recent slow progress.

Take your time man.

The best work takes time.

We all know this beauty is the star of the show.

**Artiodactyl** · 07-25-2012, 05:03 AM

Ummm, just had an idea but I know you have deadlines so it's not like I wish to see it anytime soon.

Could we have an elemental collection? If this has been done already sorry, I've looked through the skins before but it's been a while and can't remember them all...

Earth: Seismic
Fire: Lavaflow
Water: Tidalwave/Blizzard
Air: Galeforce

Also a season collection:

Summer: Heatwave
Autumn: Amberglow
Winter: Flurry
Spring: Bloom

Just suggestions.

Thanks for the ideas, and yeah, sorry that it might be a week or so before I start working on them.

I've added them to my list of 'to dos'. I'll try to get them up as soon as I can.

Thank you! No worries at all, you're doing a great job and you should do it in your own time, hope your essay goes well! ^^

Thanks for being patient.

I think a Golden Onyx would be cool, basically Onyx on a Gold background.

That's a pretty good and simple idea - I'll give that a look.

Aha!

So that's what you wanted the Barrick gif for.

Nice job Kracker. When I get round to making the thread with my version of Lancer template, I look forward to your creations and whatnot.

(I'll bang out a link in the OP when I get back on my PC)

theres already a topic that has the lancer template and instructions how to make a lancer skin. you should 1-up it and include templates for the other weapons

..... i'll try to be the first to reply to that thread too, so i can keep my creations up top
