lovin em custom skins drerex , since i myself have a very strict sense of quality when it comes to custom themes and skins , you deffinitely are the best skin creator for evga precision x out there no doubt about it , keep up the great work , your best skin to date was the alienware skin even thou i hate alienware and dislike any kind of overdone branding/advertising on anything plus it wouldve been nice to have it in red also , but the skin in general is
 
awesome the rest of your skins not so good from a design perspective , most important thing is take your time on these skins nobodys rushing you , maybe make something less alienware oriented but the design orientation is excellent it has a nice balance of modern design plus minimalistic branding/advertising but as said could be even less without the alienware orientation , also maybe abit more alpha blending on buttons and better glow effects on the buttons, also whats this ive heard about animations , that would be epic if animations would be included

ok lets get this started then shall we , ill go through all of them one by one


Airframe>   the entire design just looks too bland and basic

Sabertooth > not much to say bout this one except for it being pretty much generic military lookin, great for the kids and also drerex branding isnt helping ,lols

ROG   >  again too much generic design here aka branding whoring all over the place in your face , sure its ROG , but do it in a subtle way , again layout could be improved, would deffinitely benefit from animations exspecially for the 4 bubbly sidebars and also again alpha shading missing left and right and again colours too bright


Steampunked  >  better , but not the best, theres deffinitely room for improvement  , colours are too bright , alpha shading missing on most of the elements , layout could be better , try not to go generic but unique , thats what steampunk is all about, perhaps even add some animations in


SOCOM>  the worst of all , hell even ROG was better than that , and thats saying alot , bland , bare bones gui design and again missing alpha shading on most elements and again colours are too bright


Alienware > not much to say bout that one except it needs as all of your skins do , more alpha shading on your gui elements, again less in your face branding , less alienware , the design layout is going in the right direction thou and abit less brightness on the colours they pop out too much, this goes as well for the rest, this could use some animations as well


btw dont be offended by my feedback , its exactly that , feedback , suggestions for releasing better skins in the future or even improving on the current ones , you see as ive said ive been around for a long time in the skin/theme customizing community

and used alot of skins/themes from all kinds of designers , hence why ive got the experience to leave you with such feedback , and ive seen my fair share of generic skins/themes with generic branding/advertising right in your face going borderline childish all over the place and frankly am sick of it you see, and unlike others sucking up i state my opinion , back in the days designers used to create unique pieces of art , this is how it should be not this generic trend thats been going on for far too long , hence why i try to do my best to help designers like you get away from that crap , keep up the great work i appreciate it

i wish , i dont have the talent , the best i can do is this , all i can do is help with feedback guys , i hope it gets taken into consideration , again this hasnt been meant to be negative at all its more an incentive to improve on your work as youre the only one around here that does quality skins for precision x, i love your work just needs abit more polish , jesus talk about people taking it the wrong way

lol no it came across as condescending and completely negative,all you did was take shots at everything he has made with your opinion comparing it to ..well no one ....as no one else makes these as your telling him to do and  TBH any others i have seen since Precision was released are as detailed or as good as his .I read your post and personally was insulted for him ,that's how bad you came across

Thanks Bio! 
 
Bio is right.  It's one thing to give feedback but it is another thing to dig in.  It felt like you had a personal vendetta against me.  I create these skins on my personal time and love doing them as a hobby.  90 percent of the skins I do are from request.  One day I decided to learn a new program and started learning gimp.  That was only a couple years ago.  By trade, I don't even use photoshop or gimp.  I am not even a graphic designer in my normal day job.  I am a Sr. Systems Design Engineer.  I use software like AutoCAD, Inventor, and Solidworks.  So between work, taking care of my kids, starting a new business, and spending time with my family, I design Precision Skins.  Yeah I add Drerex Design to several of them because that is my signature.  That is just who I am.  I am proud of what I have learn in so little time.  Sorry, but that did get me upset.  I am over it now and will step down from my soapbox.
 
I need the motivational music going or something.  Haha!!
