description		: my very first released skin for Q3A, for the Anarki model.


++ notes ++
please bear in mind that this was a learning expierience. i started off with the base anarki skin, but by the time i got finished about the only thing left of the original was the mouth, the boot-tips and hands, but all of the above are modified. for most of the skin i started out painting over the original and just ended up covering almost all of it. all the muscle structure is essentially new, the armore plates, pants (suggestions on what could make them a little better? not sure i like them), etc. are all new. the graphics on top of the board, by the ways, are intentionally not anti-aliased, it's supposed to look low-res. my version of photoshop doesn't support alpha channels so i couldn't do any shader work :( this also means the icon doesn't show up in the game menu, but there will be an empty slot, and if you click on it you'll see it's there. oh, obviously it's my first bot, too, and i think i've got the difficulty levels tweaked okay, if a little better than some bots, but not much. i usually play on the middle difficulty so that's what it's tweaked to. he says a lot of things that are in-jokes to me and my friends, but if you're perceptive you'll find movie quotes in there (i work at a theatre, so i talk like a movie sometimes :)
