Voodoo - WIP
Tuesday, September 4, 2012 by k10w3 | Discussion: Sneak Previews
Since I'm pretty much finished with my GUIC submission (still sitting on it, giving myself some time to make sure all things are perfect), I've been putting my creative juices towards my Halloween desktop, which is my favorite skin to create. 
You know how some skins just seem to build themselves, and others are kind of an agonizing frustration? This one is an agonizing frustration. Something's just not right, and no matter how many times I look at it and change things, it's not feeling like it's working, (maybe it's cursed?) so I thought I would post a WIP thread and get some help from the community.
Give me your thoughts on what needs to change.

But I keep going back to the idea of Baron Samedi - http://planetvoodoo.com/baron-samedi.htm
Got it! More skulls, more bones, more feathers, more cowbell...What? wait...no, take the cowbell out of there.

THAT right there reminds me of my favourite movie line that Carry Grant said to Myrna Loy from the movie the bachelor and the Bobbysoxer
CG: you remind me of a man
ML: what man
CG the man with the power
ML what power
CG the power of who do
ML who do?
CG you do
ML do what
CG remind me of a man
lol... cracks me up every time.

As usual Karen this looks excellent.
Thanks, WG. You don't think I should change the colors or style on the menu bar or something? Part of it looks polished to me and part of it doesn't.
IMO I think it looks perfect the way it is. Love the start button and the voodoo doll!

I like it a lot better without the red. Still lots of designing to do, but at least I don't feel like I want to trash it and do something else, which is how I was feeling about it earlier.
both of them are looking goodReply #34 Wednesday, September 5, 2012 7:35 AM
Personally I liked the red better, gave it more of that "Voodoo" look.The gold is OK, but just doesn't have that same look.

Gotta agree with Tom on this one. The red looked better.

The gold looks good...but gotta agree with the guys about the red.

Screw it -- I'm going back to the drawing board, and I'm getting rid of the green. I'm keeping the voodoo doll and the start button, though.

Just keep the red, and the gold and the green.. and make it a Christmas skin.. 
Personally i don't think there is anything wrong with red and green.. cept it always.. looks Xmas'y...unless its over black.

black and orange always works best for me on Halloween, but then again, that's just in terms of decorating my house....hmmm...maybe black and red would work, I know vampires like that and it certainly doesn't hurt to have them on your side at Halloween.
