Hey guys this is the first time i ever touched anything like this.
I re-skinned the american para model, i TRYED to make it look like an infantry man from the First Special Service Force.
But considering i was working with the model, i couldnt change some things, o well.

Heres a pic of basically what it SHOULD look like.

And heres mine.

It's not that bad but we can't really tell from that pic but at the moment it's pretty good for a first time.

And here is another one.
NOw in the REAL picture, the guy is wearing different pants, but they also wore wool pants, and thats the pants i tryed to put on the model.

Yeah i no, here is an in game picture.
It doesnt look to impressive i know, but the cloths took me like 4 hours to do, im not good at making good looking clothes.

They need a lot of work for getting details right.

But tis a good start....

lol Yeah i deffintly know, i do NOT know how you guys do it.

I can make alright facial hair and cuts etc, but clothes, NO WAY.

Thats good for a first try, better than anything i managed on my early attempts at skin edits.

Keep at it.

A good try before you jump into advanced crap is to do simple recolors in Photoshop.

Itd end up looking a lot nicer, and hell, you gotta start some where.

They didn't have any flag representation...

Devils Brigade...

Yeah i no, but i had to make the colors totally different, so i couldnt really make small steps.

dude, good job... especially for a first attemp. my first attemt at skinning i made all the colors screwed u and it didnt really look like anything at all... i am really impressed :D its pretty hard to do

Hey thanks guys..........

And to Canuck, yeah i no man they didnt, but i just wanted to add a flag to make somthing look good.

They also didnt wear any of that clothing, but what can you do........

The musette bag is correct though!!!!!!!

they wore those

That's cool, they look cell-shaded almost.

just a little piece of advice on skin editing of pre-existing skins. If your using photoshop which I HIGHLY recommend, make sure you change the bmp from indexed color to RGB color before you do any edits to the pre-existing skin. If you leave it in indexed color every change you make is gonna be fugly beyond belief. To change the mode, click the image tab, go to mode, and change it to RGB. You can save your progress as a psd until you are completly 100% satisfied with your work then you just have to go back and save the end result as an 8 bit bmp file. To do this, just change the mode back to indexed using the above steps in reverse. This way you retain all the changes you made to the original skin in 100% beautiful color the way you want it to look. If you have any further questions, email me with my email link in my sig.

what program did you use again?

And everyone is right, thats pretty good for a first try. Keep working at it, heck maybe ill use it ;)

better than i ever could do, nice job :)

try looking for a close up of some clothing of the same color than layer it over the jacket and give it some transparency, that shoud give u the folded/cloth look
