Necris Character Skin, "NecrisSkins2", for Unreal Tournament 2003
---------------------------------

Release Date: November 28th 2002

Artist: Gene }"F®čékßř˙G"{ Sprague (a.k.a FreekBoyG)

Email: freekboyg@speakeasy.net

Version: 1.0

Number of Body Skins: 1

Total Number of Faces: 1

Editor(s) Used: Adobe Photoshop 7 w/ Alien Skin Eye Candy 4000 & Extensis PhotoTools,
Jasc Paintshop Pro 7, ACDSee 3.1 & UnrealEd 3.0

Build Time: About a couple of weeks or so. There was a lot of experimenting & tweaking
to get Ravyn just right. 

Source Material(s) Used: The Necris Skins from UT & my own vivid imagination.

Thank you for trying out my custom skin for the MercFemaleB model in UT2003. I made
this simply because I missed the Necris characters from UT & from the email I’ve received
regarding my previous Necris Skin it seems I wasn’t the only one. Ravyn is quite the sexy
vixen, but watch out, ‘cause she’ll rip you apart.

I certainly can't take full credit for the skin since I used Satin & Saphire’s face textures
as a base. So at least some of the credit should go to the very talented artist staff at Epic. 

Note: I didn't include team colors simply because there was no need to. The team game "headlights"
in UT2003 fulfil that purpose.


INSTALLATION
------------

Installing this one is easy as pie. Just extract the NecrisSkins2.utx to your
UT2003/Textures directory, then the Necris2.upl to your UT2003/System folder.
Then open up the file called XPlayers.int with a text editor, scroll down to the
very bottom & add the following line of text exactly as it appears:

NecrisRavyn="Name:  Ravyn|Age:  Unknown|Race:  Necris||Data:|She is as bold and as brash as her father, Graves. Having disobeyed his orders, she has followed her father across the galaxy. She comes to the Tournament to watch his back and make sure that his thirst for revenge doesn't make him an easy target for either Brock or Malcolm.||"


DISTRIBUTION
------------
You may freely distribute these files in a completely unmodified form. Do
not charge any money for this software without consulting me first. Any
magazine or other publisher choosing to distribute this in a freebie CD,
please consult me first. I can be contacted at freekboyg@speakeasy.net


THE THANK YOU LIST
---------

There are several people I want to thank for their support in creating this skin:

-	My friend Ed “FrAgEd” Hayes for the encouraging words during her creation
& for just being the asshole we all know & love.

-	All of my friends at my place of employment, Capcom Entertainment.

-	My new pen pal, Nyssa, who has unknowingly extended my stay on this planet.
She has actually given me a glimmer of hope & a goal to try to achieve.

-	The wonderful people at Digital Extremes who created UT2003 & had the
wisdom to help Unreal become not only a great game but an open-ended medium for
3rd party creative expansion.

-	This skin is dedicated to my mother Jessie (Ann) Hatchett-Sprague, who is died
of cancer on October 28th 2001. If it weren't for her I wouldn't have gotten this far.
I thank her for bestowing upon me the gift of artistic talent. Though it might be just
a small talent I am still very grateful to have it. I love you & will miss you now that
you are gone. Please check out her web page http://annsart.homestead.com/

-	And last but not least my little furry friend Quervo. He's the last of a group of
Ferrets that belonged to my Mother. I always liked him so I kept him after her passing.


PREVIOUS WORK

Map: CTF-MorpheusCity: 
Authors: Ed "FrAgEd" Hayes & Gene }"F®čékßř˙G"{ Sprague
	A large CTF version of the DM map Morpheus. Good for 16+ players.
	Received a score of 8 out of 10 & a shining review from UT Underground.

Skin: Damage Amplifier Maniac for the Visor model (Visor4UT model converted by X3M)
	An updated version of the Quake 3 skin, Quadmaniac (by Ogro Fix & Xurn). This was
	always my favorite skin for Q3. So when X3M converted Visor to UT I thought that my favorite
	skin should come over too. I asked permission from the original authors & then I updated the
	concept to fit UT, the Quad Damage became the Damage Amplifier.
	Received a four Stars rating from Ram2000

Skin: Jarhead_FreekV1-2 for the UT Jarhead character model (Jarhead by Dov Sherman)
	My second released skin was well received by the UT skinning community & garnered a
	shining review from Polycount (check out the review here @ http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/skins/ut/jarhead/freek/freek.shtml)
	& also four out of five stars from Ram2000.

Skin: Jarhead_Freek][ for the UT Jarhead character model (Jarhead by Dov Sherman)
	My third released skin & second for the Jarhead (what can I say, I love this model). It contains
	three body skins & a total of 15 faces, as well as all team colors. I did some pretty nifty copy
	& paste work for one of the skins. If you like H.R. Giger you should check it out.

Skin: Jarhead_FreekSE for the UT Jarhead character model (Jarhead by Dov Sherman)
	My fourth released skin & third for the Jarhead (what can I say, I still love this model). It
	is a re-compilement of my other two Jarhead Skins into one much smaller package. I made this for use
	on UT servers, since the other two packages alone are  quite a download. Had to cut out green & gold teams
	as well as quite a few faces, but I left the cream of the crop. Still a lot of variety to choose from.

Skin: NecrisSkins for the MercMaleA model in UT2003
	This was my first attempt at making a skin for UT2003. Although not all of it is original content, I’m
	pretty happy with him none the less. This is a remake of UT’s Necris characters, named Graves. This
	skin happened to make it on to a DVD for a German magazine called “PC Action” as part of a SkinCity
	(http://skincity.beyondunreal.com/) collection of UT2003 skins. So I guess that would make it my first
	“published” work.

**If none of those URLs work, just try looking on File Planet (http://www.fileplanet.com), SkinCity (http://skincity.beyondunreal.com/) or
UT2003 HQ (http://www.ut2003hq.com/) All of these sites should still have all of this stuff.**


CURRENT & FUTURE PROJECTS
-----------

Next up I have a request from Nyssa for a revision of UT’s Visse for UT2003. Let's hope that we can meet &
surpass her expectations.
