"no good winamp skin creation process!" , posted Thu 19 Sep 03:44:

i was just wondering, has anyone here created their own winamp skins? i wanna see!

well, (the story)
for the past week or so, i've been looking for a winamp skin of everyone's favorite raccoon girl. coming up empty-handed, i decided to create my own. instead of sleeping tonight, i spent the last four hours working on my winamp skin instead. i'm hyped up on sugar and adrenaline and caffeine, and i haven't slept in over 40 hours. so why start now?

..... anyways, long story short, i said "screw tutorials" and i said "screw programs that'll do it for me" and decided to create a skin from scratch (using the ones i currently had as models). do you guys know how much GRUELING work it is to do these freakin' skins?! and i wondered why a heapload of them out there looked like they were pulled out of someone's ass

well, i chose the perfect picture, the perfect colors, and carefully pieced the skin together, making it as beautiful as i could. right now, i'm about 75% done. the hard part's all over, i just gotta do some small edits. there's not too much left. i'll post the link later so you guys can check it out ^-^

edit:
no reason O_O

Yes, I heard how amazingly difficult is to make a Winamp skin. I want to try one, myself... but I'm not sure if I like punishing myself that much. I would like to make a Winamp skin someday, as well... when I have tons of time on my hands.

Please post it whenever you finish. I'd like to see the raccoon girl you speak of.

Jeez, I've been posting a lot today.

It's really not that hard. I made one a couple of years ago and it only took 2 nights (one to learn how and another to pretty it up.) I'm pretty sure it was lost in the great Hard Drive Crash of '01, but it wasn't bad.

EDIT: Now that I've looked through my hard drives, it is indeed lost. Oh well. I guess I really have been slacking on the creative front lately and this should spur me to make a new one ore something. BTW, who are you talking about when you refer to "Raccoon girl?" Kaoru?

- Kaoru Winamp Skin

(oh yea, the server where i uploaded this skin won't allow me to name my files *.wsz, so just find your winamp skin directory, probably C:\Program Files\Winamp\Skins, and move the skin there)
