Penthouse WB - Winners announced Pg 14
Contemporary Elegance
Thursday, May 27, 2010 by vStyler | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
k,
Well, if I sit still for too long my brain starts hurting so here's what Ive decided on for my next theme after piddling around for a day or three with a few concepts.
Rendered in Cinema 4D with lots of post work in PS, a warm, contemporary type skin with soft colorful mood lighting reminiscent of modern stainless counter-tops and luxury appliances. Perhaps bordering a little on futuristic.
Hopefully it'll turn out sharp, no idea what the rest will look like but I'm very happy with its beginnings.
The thread header is Penthouse - Contemporary Elegance , Syd and I (she's always a great help) must have gone through 200 before deciding on it.
Gonna run a little contest, for the funniest caption after Penthouse -
example: Penthouse - Damn, who drank all the caviar! .... You get the idea 
Enter as many times as you like but no pics please. Winner gets the Final Blind when it is finished and their choice of 2 others of mine which they may not have or would like to gift to someone.
Will post updates as I tinker along with the project. 
Cheers

OK...updated my docks in screenshot comment #236. These will be the final release docks. 
And before he left, messiah1 was helping me out quite a bit. It amazes me that he could be so civil with me after they way I treated him when I first got here. But I swallowed my pride when he asked me if I'd like some pointers and I've been trying to emulate him since. He did mention that he learned from you after you offered to "take him under your wing".
I wasn't trying to bash anyone when I said what I said. I mean, I'm included in the "fill-in" comment I made. I don't think my Venom or ecological docks would hold up to anything messiah1 would have done. But I try to do him proud as well as make the skin author happy also.
Cheers.
Yeah Steve's a good guy. And he was a fast learner as well. Pretty much all I can really do with anyone that wants to learn is teach them the basics and a few tricks. From there it's learn as you go since each dock will always have something different about it and you have to be able to improvise each time. PhotoShop skills don't hurt either. And hey...when I look at my first docks I can't help thinking...wtf was I thinking!? lol

I really like the look, John. Especially that glass wallpaper.

nice post natas..... 
I'm just very grateful to anyone who offers their time to do accessories for the blinds....it enhances the customizing experience so much....doesn't matter what stage they're at...giving it a go is half the fun....and watching skinners grow over time is what it's all about....
over the years, I've often gone into the gallery of senior longtime skinners...and gone straight to their first page...and worked forward.....it's always inspiring to see just where they've come from....and disappointing when some have removed work they now consider inferior...to me...it just shows the journey....
