First Decal

[LegoTrooper]

This is my very first decal, and I am very proud of it. First up, it is not tranparent, mainly because I don't want to see people rainbowifying it. It stays one color.

Attached is a picture of the decal.

Could be better. But it's really not bad for a first. Good luck!

That's actually pretty good, but here are somethings you need done.

1. It needs to be transparent.  Remove all the grey of the shirt so that the player can color it however they want. (maybe even remove ALL the grey and just use tinted transparent regions where you want it to be darker)

2. Do not post things like "Is this good enough to release?" in any of the Files sections (addons, maps, music or decals).  Instead ask a friend that can give you an honest opinion or just look at it yourself.  If you feel it compares with the other decals then release it, if you are not proud of it and feel as if it isn't very good, don't release it.  The files sections are for finished mods only.  

3. This isn't necessarily required but it is nice.  When dealing with skin, it is always good to make 2 versions.  One Pale skin version and One yellow skin version.  If you do not want to make more than one then it is always better to go with yellow skin, because that is what the default decals use.  If you do choose to use Yellow you should be sure to use the same yellow that defaults use.  You can find an example in Blockland/Add-Ons/Decals_defaults.zip   The medieval tunic decal has a skin color that you can do the eyedropper tool on or something.

If you follow some of those tips and keep doing this I can see you becoming a very good decal maker in the future

You should have at least made the skin part transparent, but I like it

Transparent skin always looks stupid.  Your entire player's body is skin colored and then they have some elaborate array of clothing pasted on the front of them.  The coat should have been transparent. 

I tried doing it myself but it looked kinda crap when I just magic wand'd the grey bits and I didn't want to do a full on restoration.

My Avatar is not skin-coloured. It's blue. :D

And where is the link to the file?

And yes, make it trans.

Cool, but needs to be transparent, ok boy. Just don't make it more crazier or something.

This is pretty good. Although, the gun is REALLY tiny compared to the Blockhead, so I suggest just scrapping that. Also, make the grey bit trans'd. Aside from that, well done!

[LegoTrooper]

Pretty positive feedback. Frankly, I'm surprised that none of the MSPAINT trolls have condemned me yet. I'll work on the transparency, and probably dilate the sidearm. Thanks for the constructive criticism!
In case anyone was interested, this is what it looks like on my avatar.

I sort of took the liberty of making it trans for you. (Sort of)

And like Jay said, I tinted the coat with trans.

Why the hell is that gun as high poly as forget?

I suppose I should thank you.

But I feel more like suing you.

I feel cheated, considering I spent half the day trans-ing it.

Oh well. Thanks, I guess. I think I guessed wrong.
