Pushing the Limits of My Skills
...hope I have some hair left when this is finished....
Friday, January 1, 2010 by Xiandi | Discussion: Sneak Previews
Everything you see...every spike, rivet, and strap...I made in Photoshop. I'm rather proud of myself, lol. This one is going to test my skills, and push my limits like no other blind, so if you hear screaming in frustration....it's just me pulling out my hair.
This start panel took a long time to get right...and I learned a few things in the process. I imagine that this one will take a while to complete.
It still needs a name. It's called Armageddon. (Thanks Syd!)

She's ahead of you on that one, John.
I have some of both of those items in my gallery... along with a bunch of other Medieval stuff that can be used if so desired.

I had to work at my day job today and had a hard time concentrating because I was thinking about this blind, lol.

Awesome, by the looks of the start menu when open, will still show dock drawers on the left instead of covering them up ? If so, this is going to be over the top WB. Love Love Love it ![]()

Yup, it looks like you will be able to see them. They get a little hidden behind the spikes, but they are still visible. ![]()

Thank you for the offer Sir Pirate, they are very nice, but I want this one to be 100% my work.
That's fine, Lady Xi... I understand completely and appreciate... no, laud/praise your decision to use only your own work.

Doesn't stop me (anybody else) from using them to compliment this positively unique and interesting WB, though, does it??

Start Button could also be a stylized Helmet (thinking Samurai to go with the black and silver spikes on the armor).
