Default NEW SUB SKIN: Weathered VIIC

Here is my newest production; a weathered type VIIC. This skin uses Fubars excellent VIIC DARK skin as base (Kudos to you, Fubar!!). I have just added a lighter color of grey, and some rust & seaweed in the small "holes" at the side (sorry, dont know what their names are in english...)
The rust & seaweed are all hand-painted (took me 4 bloody hours to get them all done & good lookin'...)
I have also given the wood-work a little more "tired" look..
For pictures, look further down!

I hope you enjoy this skin, mateys! And again: Thanx to Fubar for his base skin, without it i could have done nothing!!

GET IT HERE (readme included)!!
EDIT: Updatet link, with modified textures (Not so "bloody")
GWX Compatible!

Kind regards

With this one and the two i just got from danlisa iv'e got 25 sub skins
for any ocassion. I'm in 39" out of Wilm in a new VIIb and as i build up patrols I want to age it as well as future boats. I'm savoring GWX like a fine wine and playing it slow so as to wring every drop of goodness out
of it. And you,danlisa,fubar and all the rest give me a great closet full
of skins to do it with. Thx to all of you.

Great skin, Seth!

Just a little thing that hits my eye, the rust is too red & sharp for my taste. But still, a very good skin!

If they are .tga files, they are compatible. If they are on .DAT file, they will break something unless the .DAT file is the same used in GWX.

Is that blood coming out of the boat?

I agree with Dowly for a change, the red looks too sharp for me as well, maybe it should be reduced a little incl the amount of rust. Just my honest opinion.

I like the redish looking rust(blood) it will warn the merchantmen from clinging on to my boat. See the blood and little fingers of the others that were hanging on my boat???? Begone!!!

@ Seth

Did you put the rust on a separate layer? If so reduce the opacity or fill. Top right cnr of the layers box.

I could do that, yes.:hmm:
Yepp, i did. I had opacity at 100%, and fill opacity at 90%. I also had
"Blend if grey/ underlying layer at 52 (looked best that way.)

I'll look into it right away, mate! Thanx!!!

Ok, i looked into this, and i changed the color textures (using a bit of dark brown and some hue....).
Here is a pic with the old "bloody" textures, compared to the new, more brownish like.


Here is how it looks on the sub:


I'll update the links, so you get the new texture! Sorry for this guys, hope you like this better. And i appreciate you telling me if there is something not right, or anything else! Thats how we learn, isnt it..
