Phoenix parrot recolour...
For the last week or so, I've been working on a particularly intensive project that I've finally completed and submitted this evening. I'd like to introduce to you the beautiful Phoenix:
Over 20 solid hours of blood, sweat and tears have gone into this wonderful bird. I created an extremely high-resolution texture, thus the file itself is rather large coming in at over 5Mb uncompressed. I believe you will find the download to be well worth it though as I have paid immense attention to detail. Every feather was hand-crafted, the skin is ultra-realistic and the colours have been seamlessly blended. Maxis' use of the texture has given me some limitations, but I've worked around them to the best of my ability.
In total, I created 517 layers in Photoshop to make this as perfect as possible. The final PSD file comes in at nearly 50Mb.
I had great fun making this (and some frustration too lol) and I do hope you will enjoy playing it. Publication will hopefully be sometime over the next few days. :)
UPDATE / Publication date will be Saturday 31st March. :D
