Here's the reference picture, I was talking about:

(The spinner was too close to the center of the page, that's why it's blurry. But it basically looks the same like in the picture EZ posted)

I use GIMP for skinning and 100% quality, when I export the JPEGs. Haven't found another applicable option setting yet. Thanks for the advice, though!

Hi Matze,

Thanks LC!

Here's a little progress update:
Added a more blue-ish color tone and adjusted the nose coloring, as well as the camo pattern and some other minor stuff.

Here's how she looks right now. Still working on it ... (not quite happy yet!)

Wow, amazing, when and where can we download these beauties?

Nice update,

the skin is looking now much better.

Any progress of Black 8?

S!

I don't want to tease you guys with screenshots and no download links, but during the week, I usually don't have time to continue working on them.

And for those skins the 80-20 rule totally applies. At least for me. Takes me 20% of the time to get 80% of the skin done. But 80% of the time for the remaining 20% (did I ever mention, that the fine tuning is driving me nuts???

)

@priller26
Once I finally finish some, I'll post a download link here in the forum.

@LcSummers
Black 8 is not gonna change much anymore. I like the way she looks! However, I have difficulties with some parts of the skin and ingame lighting. Some areas are too shiny (same goes for the Dobislav skin), especially when the mission time is set to 12:00. Also since it's my first skin, I get very picky about each little detail, that is not exactly like I want it to be.
