Tribal Desert Skin

If you think you'd be interested in seeing this skin added to the curated pathway, I'd be extremely grateful for any feedback. Please let me know if there are any mistakes, or you just think a particular unit needs more work/better colouring.
Just subscribe and fire up a custom match (CheatMod is fastest and easiest) to have a look. Hit F12 to screenshot any problems you find.
Thanks!
Original post (Most of the screenshots are very outdated):
Hey all,
Just wanted to post some screenshots of some skin painting I've been having fun with.
"The German forces may have been eventually forced out of Africa, but not all of them left Africa completely. Visions of sandy dunes and tribal natives clung to many of their minds.
Although, some just really liked chocolate and licorice swirls."
A bold and relatively high contrast skin, aimed at people with 1080p and lower monitors. No reference materials were used in this. It was just me experimenting randomly and seeing what stuck (so any possible similarity to other skins is coincidental).

wish these were for ostheer.. really id pay for it. OKW always gets the best skins
Duly noted! Hell, two of them are already ostheer vehicles Shouldn't be that hard.
Edit: In fact, the mod maker seems to share those exact assets, so they automatically apply to either faction.

That said, I haven't tried it in-game yet. If it's anywhere near as broken as the Elefant was, I'm going to be quite the sad panda
Ostwind, 222, and Elefant are at the polishing stage.
Edit: Oh cool. Most things have come through almost perfectly. Tigers never let you down
Good chance I'm going to tweak (if not outright change) that base brown colour though. That was only a random choice at the beginning. Something lighter would probably be more appropriate.

My least favorite template by far is the Stug3.
Nice work on your skin btw. Looks pretty slick.

Why do you say the Elefant is "broken"? Yes, the tiger template is easy to work with along with Panzer IV. Jagdtiger and Konigstiger are ok too except for parts along the side that are inverted or switched.

Yeah, the Elefant has a lot of inversion in seemingly unnecessary places and the 2D template looks like a complicated mess, so I found correcting it a bit hard at the time. I put it aside to try some other models, so I'll go back to it afterwards. Chances are I'll just have to leave some areas unpainted to get around it, much like how I often exclude 'attached items' on vehicles because they repeat around the vehicle.
I did the Stug III yesterday, so I totally know what you mean there. Not looking forward to seeing how that one turns out in-game.

They look awesome! Would buy!
Very glad to hear it I've been slaving over them for so long that it's hard to see them as anything other than a source of intense frustration by now.

Indeed, ostheers don't have cool skins and I could buy those

holy moly. Any chance they will make it to ingame? i mean for use in multiplayer
So far Relic have only accepted competition winners into the store, but the wiki does say they expect to review all top-rated submissions about once a month. I just want to have some people review the skins in custom games for any errors or problems before I submit it to the curated queue. 50 subscriptions overnight already, though! Isn't that the entire COH2 playerbase?
I have to do a shoutout to Janne252 here, because his preview generator makes the skins look so damn sexy!
