Are you any good at making skins?
*Seriously
@Meridan_Night Thanks for the expanded list. CCP Nikon asked me to remind him again on Tuesday, so I will add these additional colors to the list as well.
@Swing_Vote1 Am I any good at making SKINs? Yes, I can hold my own.

Iâve got a bunch of SKNR stuff.
If youâd like, Iâll contract it to you for free.
Itâll take a minute to round it all up and get it to Jita.
Is this your in-game name?

So do i have to bribe someone to get this damn bug fix 
(can a bottle of brown liquid even get past @GM_Stinger)
Its now 212 days since Skinr started removes a non english letter from the Windows user when trying to make the skinr chase file And obviously fails every time for this reason 
and 141 days since I was told it would be fixed soon
Skinr thumbnails back plz 
@Arthur_Aihaken and @Meridan_Night
I finally got around to using the Gravastar Black, which is listed in the metallic section but appears matte in the Hub.
Well, despite that lovely matte appearance in the Hub, it is a metallicâŚ
The shot on the right is taken in Dodixie Fed Navy, after the skin was applied.
Personally, I think all those seemingly matte metallic skins are probably straight up metallics despite all visual evidence to the contrary during the creation process.
What you see in SKINR, at least with Gravastar Black, is not what you get in the final and applied skin.

Well, then the SKINr design studio is even worse. Not only does it not have adequate lighting simulation, but it doesnât even display the textures correctly.
I am glad to hear that the metallic elements are indeed metallic, even though they appear matte in the SKINr studio. However, itâs hardly a consolation, because one canât design SKINs like that for obvious reasons.
Thanks for letting us know, Sere OâAsis.
EDIT: I had the time to go and take a look in the Paragon Studio, and all of the metallic textures (incl. Gravastar Black) that lacked metallic component are now metallic also in the Studio environment. So, that has been fixed. Thanks!
And this is the most funny part:
- one can spend significant time creating skin
- another can spend hefty amount of ISK buying this skin
But will there be anyone but these two to even see this skin and appreciate? 
I do think one creates/buys SKINs for oneâs own personal pleasure. It definitely wonât be something you can show off (unless youâre a bridging titan). I have created a number of designs for my favorite ships in the game and itâs just that, for my own enjoyment. I do like SKINr creation, because this way I really can make my ships look the way I think theyâre supposed to be. But, it is expensive, and most of the time you can use your ISK more wisely.

Any word on these âcolor-shiftingâ nanocoatings mentioned so prominently in the expansion news? Iâm not seeing anything about them in game anywhere, or anywhere else outside of game for that matter.
They are the ones in the daily login track
Well, I am not seeing any kind of a color shift on those in the Paragon Studio. How long is one supposed to stare at them for that to happen? More likely the color shift just doesnât show up in the Studio at all, and you wonât see what itâs like till you apply it to an actual ship.
It shifts with lighting not with time, and yes with the lighting of the studio you canât see it as much.
