My new tank skin and screenshots

I decided to make a tank skin with a similar color scheme to that of the UFO skin I posted here yesterday. The gun from the UFO was actually taken from my tank treads that I had already made, I just didn't have a tank to go with them. Here are some screenshots of my new tank and the skins will follow after the screenshots.
A side view:
A view from the other side:
A view from the front and a good shot of the tank treads:
A view from the back:
An in-game picture to show the top and gun:
Here is one last picture with the tank using green glass instead of pink glass:
Here is the tank skin:
Here is the brain jar:
Here is the tank tread. Just copy it 6 times and rename them to 02 - 07.
I posted these two with the UFO but I'll add them since I use them for this tank as well.
Here is the brain:
Here is the green glass:
I noticed when I completely deleted the brainglass.png file from the tanks folder the glass looked green just like that. That is when I was using the brain image there.
Oh, I forgot to mention that the brain jar for the tank works pretty good with the UFO I posted yesterday. It isn't quite as bright and the green matches the UFO better than the brain jar I was using for the UFO before.

I might post my map textures later on. I need to install Bryce 3D on this computer. It would be very useful for making textures for a map, especially sky textures.

Thank you. I need to find an imaging program besides Paint Shop Pro 8 to make skin textures. For the tank skin I just borrowed some textures I found and then distored those textures in various ways and finally put them togther to get the effects I wanted for each part. For those that might not know this, for round images like UFOs I have found the Kaleidoscope effect in Paint Shop Pro 8 to be quite useful.I might post my map textures later on.

I decided to make a scrumball to go with my tank. Here is what the scrumball I am using in my game now looks like:
Here is the skin for it. Sorry about the messy looking flag. It kept putting black parts on the flag so I made the green area larger than the old flag.

Those skins are pretty nice Racer445. I figured most people used PhotoShop, I don't have it either. I used to make a lot of things on my old computer with PSP 6. I am getting used to some of the newer things with PSP 8 and also some of the features I didn't use before. I think I will be able to make some completely original skins with PSP 8 now that I have looked over some of the image effects and color effects more.I decided to make a scrumball to go with my tank.
