Skins by Riz[Q2C]

[grieve[Q2C]]

Just a reminder: Even if Riz is MIA since last year and his own website is gone, his leet skins (and crosshairs)
which are hosted on this server are still available.

cuco.dyndns.org/users/riz/

brief warning: some of those contain nudity.

Thanks Grieve y

;D

I didn't do much, X7, the files have been there nearly all the time. This is where Riz stored them since when I asked Peter from cunst & co to give him an account on their file server.

Now, this fact helps to preserve his work for us, it's a good thing.

U know these models would go good with the babe Mod

[grieve[Q2C]]

some of them have been used for it.
the models as such are common stuff by various authors, Riz only made new outfits for them.

btw, here is the website of the mod you mentioned and his author, in the internet archive.

"'These' include for example the Q2 female... blah blah blah"

Sorry, no. Only referring to the Riz skins mentioned above. And why so quickly turn into a dick and attack me, Grieve? So I don't happen to think these are the single greatest skins ever released. Big deal. You're allowed to like them and I'm allowed to disagree. Did I call you "lightheaded" (assuming you meant empty-headed) for your opinion? No, I didn't.

It sounded to me as as if you wanted to devaluate Riz' work plus some of the most famous and popular Q2 models including some of my favorite chicks with ease in one sentence, therefore I got angry and used the term lightheaded, wisely holding back harsher words which were already on my tongue.

Btw, creating models is even more difficult than to create maps, and creating skins is also expert work. Look for NPherno's skin tool and give it a try, you'll see.
Creating stuff is much harder a task than criticizing it.

Stop guys.

Sub, you're right in one fact, they aren't professional skins. But at the same time, base Quake2 engine doesn't allow for much high qualityness. If someone made a .tga skin 2048x2048, it would probably look professional.

I wonder what ever happened to Riz? I think he was having trouble at home. Hope he's doing well.

[AAAGGHHH!!]

I know what you mean Le Ray. One day Riz just vanished! I hope he's ok too. I didn't know him as long as some of you I'm sure, but he disappeared not long after we welcomed him at our forums and he started posting pics of his creations, offering to skin for people, etc. He was a cool dude no doubt.

I don't know, they seem sort of in the middle to me...

[Riz [Q2C]]

Like OMG, look who is here!

I was havign issues yes, been a bad couple a years for me work and cash wise, however some good stuff of the last two years...

Jenaviv and I are almost to our second anniversary (Sep 22).

I am not having to work physical labor anymore (back injury), so I am a desk worker now.

My ex-wife has finally gotten what is coming to her and is experiencing exactly how bad it can be when someone screw you over.

Other than that my Q2 time has been all offline, and I am still running Q2C crosshairs. LOL

BTW, my thanks to Grieve for the hostign of the skins. My site is gone, but I may do another in the future if time permits.

As for those who are trying to compare my skins for Q2 to the skinning possible for much newer games, sorry. If mine ain't what ya want, then don't use em.

[Whirlingdervish]

hey bro. good to hear from ya.

[Riz [Q2C]]

Good to be heard from. Been a long strange trip for sure. With luck I will be getting back into playing DM style soon. Although I got some hardware I am waiting on to make it better. Gods bless Belkin!

[AAAGGHHH!!]

[Paril]

Hey Riz. You missed me (literally)

Quake2 modification master, at your service
