Dork Siege?

Dork Siege? Fashion Siege? I am not quite sure how to title this entry. I've been doing some DS1 modding for the past few weeks, which really took off when I was at the motel. I was playing around with some of the face and hair textures, as well as some armors.

I don't have Photoshop or any other image creation tool that supports saving files with alpha channels. While I know the gimp does that, I just couldn't get the hang of it. I know in time I could but lately my patience and attention span are really minimal, so I work with my limitations. I do use Photofiltre ( http://photofiltre.free.fr/frames_en.htm ) as I find it quite handy and useful, although I don't make full use of it's features.

Anyway...the above paragraph is a long winded way of saying that my textures are not that sophisticated as the program I use that supports .psd format is kind of a re-toucher/image viewer...the kind you would use to touch up and look at photographs. This means I can use it to swap rgb channels and apply a few filters; basically tinkering around. Nothing very involved and again, I am probably not taking advantage of all it's features due to my limitations.

Blah Blah blah, here's what I did:

Altered the gas files to show a few underwear textures, as I like to wear underwear under my pants and shirt, not more pants and shirts as the default selections have. Yes, I know that isn't anything special as it has been done tons of time before. It hasn't been done by me.

Look at her feet and notice how skanky that looks. I'm sure the programmers had a reason for it but it looks like a case of athlete's foot that went untreated for centuries.

An extremely minor detail of course, but one that I did not care for. I took two of the faces that I like the best and tinkered around with them to take away the skank foot.

A few new hair textures to choose when starting a new character: (clickable thumbnails)

The pink hair one didn't look right on the Black model as the eyebrows were just too light and didn't display to my liking. I will probably have to fool around with it some more. I gave her dark blue eyes instead of brown, and for the White model I simply brightened the texture up a little.

Some new clothes:

This one reminded me of SJR: ^^

I was a bit nervous with the gas files because initially I had only included the default farmboy/farmgirl skins. When I was clicking through the character selection screen (I'm using DS Revived for LOA) I noticed the Utreans were not displaying their correct skin tones. I copied the gas file from DS Revived and altered it just for Farmgirl and that seems to be working just fine for now.
