Hey guys...here's my first Skin! It's for Deltatap.
There are some added trees.

Here are some pics...

And for the download!
(If the attachment doesn't work...)

HERE!

(The only bugs that I am aware of is that one trees does not have collision....oh well....)

I'd like to thank 'theycallmechad' for his 'Seamless Texture Tutorial'

Looks pretty good! The grass is a bit cartoony, but otherwise good job.

One of the better Sanctuary skins i've noticed.

Makes me want to play sonic 3. Still looks interesting though.

It's good for a first, but looks cell shaded. When playing in game the grass looks even brighter then the pictures. Good job though, practice makes perfect.

I'll give this a 6/10 for a first.

Howdy! Looks like a not bad skin. I would suggest trying other textures besides that one cobble stone texture, but it still looks good. Although I don't always do this, try to find/make textures to use that don't look so flat. Real cobble stones like this are made out of river rock (well, where I'm from, anyway), and river rocks are very much 3 dimentional. When I see your stone, I half expect to see that third dimension. Instead, they look more like paint or wallpaper than anything. Even though a texture looks great when you're looking it as a bitmap, it doesn't always look great ingame. Be VERY picky

. That's just my 2 cents worth...

About what chad said above, do you mean he should try bump mapping to give it "that 3rd dimension"?

No, he shouldn't do bumps for this map. It's too light and it'd change the feel a bit too much, I believe. I mean he should find a texture that doesn't look like it should be extremely 3 dimensional (i.e. brick or concrete, though I'm not saying those are the correct textures for him). Cobblestone is very hard as it looks like round rocks should be protruding from the surface.

I'm on hold right now with Walmart, and the hold music is really annoying. I'm sorry if I'm therefore not making sense.

Lol. I just bought a 17 inch lcd monitor from sams club and It messed up the second day I had it...

So I have been with customer support for hours.. I know how you feel. As for the mod. Could you try a Egyption stone texture.. Well you know what I mean.

I've never seen so many different themes for one level. Good job, looks nice.

Looks nice! The grass could be better though. More realistic I guess.

Looks nice.... For whatever reason it reminds me of the flintstones... Might just be the textures.
