I'll be taking requests for Windowskins. Below are a few examples of what I have done so far, some of them are old and some recently made. To request a windowskin, simply follow instructions below.


Previous Work


Spoiler




Instructions

  • Color(s)/Theme
  • Cursor Style/Color(s)
  • Border Style/Color(s)
  • Reference Picture(s) (as needed)


Information

  • Color(s)/Theme ~ What color(s)/theme do you want the Windowskin to follow? (Hexadecimal/RGB values for color helps, but is not necessary)
  • Cursor Style/Color(s) ~ Do you want a special cursor for when in battles? If so, what do you want it to be/what color(s)?
  • Border Style/Color(s) ~ This is the border that is created around the window. If you would like a special one, what type, and what color(s)?
  • Reference Picture(s) (as needed) ~ If you have a Title Screen for your game already, and would like it incorporated into the windowskin, here is where to say. Reference pictures also help for custom cursors.

Credits

Although I do not necessarily require credit, if you wish to include me in them, go right ahead. Posted Image


Bring it on!

I need something dark, plane and grey. If you can get some chain border or something, that would be cool. But really, simpler is better for this..

Depending on how long Ben's takes (shouldn't be too long), I should have this for you by late tomorrow or Tuesday

Here's yours, Pol...I tried getting the colors as close as possible, but the rest of it was a bit harder. (I wasn't able to do the symbol, because it probably would've looked odd stretched)

Lemme know if you want something different...

I would like to make the following requests. The only parameters I need set in stone, is that they keep as close as possible to the same look as the original RMXP RTP windowskin's color/feel. All the cursors can be taken from the RTP (preferred if possible). I also have a palette I created with some if not all of the RTP shades on it, I can send it to you if needed.
I intend to include this as part of a pack I am working on. It will be free, and you will receive full credits. For this reason I ask that the windowskins are not released without watermarks etc, or as part of another pack etc. I am sure you understand.
Thanks in advance mate!

P.S. Love your work!

It's gonna be another busy weekend, but I'll start on these for you as soon as possible, Jon.

If you could send me that palette too, that'd be great. Also, when you say you don't want them released without watermarks, do you mean to add a watermark of some sort so that I can put them here and then send you the originals via private message or something?

Regards,

Aye, you got the idea. Figured you might want to post them up etc. Just don't want them nabbed before I pack em type thing.
Sending the palette now.

Excellent, exactly what I pictured.
Totally perfect mate, I am extremely excited to see the rest. It's really neat to see someone else create something you envision, kudos.

Here are the next two in the series, Jon...I tried a slight ripple effect on the water background to break it up a bit...I think it looks good, but if you want me to just stick to recoloring it, I can redo that one.

Lemme know what you think,

May I make a request?
I need a new window skin for my newest project.
I'm not entirely sure what I want, but i know I want something visually impressive.
It's a bit of a dark theme though, so make it maybe gothic . . . Thanks in advance
