[Feb 15 4:12 PM] Cleaned up some files involving the lifebar. Special thanks to Maav for giving me some help.
[Feb 16 9:59 AM] Changed download link... .osk was not extracting properly.
[Feb 19, 5:10 PM] Made small rankings more visible. Made vampire fangs on hitcircles more visible. Fixed a bug which was causing ranking-C.png to not display properly. And, updated the screenshots section 'v '
[July 200, 1:17 PM]Skin updated to version 2.0! Special thanks to Koshe Komeiji for making the icon for Half Time for me. If you want a full changelog, check my post in this thread.

Hey, here's another skin, hot off the press. My second one. I think I'm addicted to skinning.

Character is Oshino Shinobu from the *monogatari anime/light novel series. She was once a powerful vampire but was reduced in her power by Araragi Koyomi and Oshino Meme. Her favorite food is the donut.

If you want to use any elements from this skin, go ahead, but give credit and let me know.

Sources

-templateskin.osk
-danbooru.donmai.us
-screen captures from the anime Bakemonogatari
-stock vectors from Google Images
-Sushiologist (comboburst vector)
-CF Midnight (font used)
-Debi-Chiru (for the Manga Blood brush set oh god it works wonders)

Progams used: Paint Tool SAI and Adobe Photoshop CS6

Screenshots: http://kfshradio.tumblr.com/post/55983962630

Fun fact: The cross for missed notes is a vector I slapped together (poorly) of Episode's throwing cross. Episode is a half-vampire vampire-hunter that hunts Shinobu in the light novel Kizumonogatari and only appears in the anime for a split second in the first episode.

Thanks! I was originally gonna use her swallowing the sword from Nekomonogatari but I wasn't good enough at photoshop.

My only concern is that the ki (blood splatter) isn't centered on the blade. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Um, I think you have to search in google ,deviant art,zerochan and more.

You know, this is awesome. You have some talent to skinning.

Didn't post something like that on your Hitagi skin because I hate her, oh well. Might mix up some elements of this on my play skin.

Edit:
Reskinned the Ki pictures for you. =]

Edit2:
Sorry for reskinning everything, but...
Reskinned scorebar-colour.png (it didn't fit to Shinobu's hand before, everything I did was replace it a few pixels; I would transfer the handle to scorebar-bg too, while the blade itself would be the health bar, as that would look better on low health)

I'm sort of a skin bugtester for skins I like (or on requests too).

Oh my god Maav you're the best. I'm in class right now so I don't have access to a lot of my files but I'll definitely update the skin later, and give you credit. Interesting use of white space for the ki...I'll have to make note of that for future skins.

because I hate her

;_; don't hate on my waifu

it didn't fit to Shinobu's hand before

Thanks for doing this, actually. My knowledge of Photoshop is pretty limited (I've been using SAI for over two years but I just got photoshop for free through my university) so I was trying to do something like this through trial and error. I also had to recreate a lot of the handle with Frankenstein'd elements from other parts of the sword. I'll transfer the handle over later today.

You know, this is awesome. You have some talent to skinning.

Thank you ^^ I'm just getting my feet wet right now. All the plans in my head are larger than when they finally are skinned so I've still got some learning to do while on the job. Also, I stole your forum sig

Um, I think you have to search in google ,deviant art,zerochan and more.

I figure the best place to ask for advice on osu! skinning would be the osu! skinning forums. :u
But, yes, those are all excellent places to get art for skins. I usually use danbooru with the character name and the 'white_background' or 'transparent_background' tags, since that saves me some time, but there is limited fanart of Bakemonogatari characters (compared to something like Touhou or Madoka) so that doesn't always work.

Tried Pixiv for art? Like Deviantart, there's a lot of crap in there, but you can find some pearls with some hunting.
You can get the japanese character names from MAL or something, in case you don't know jap.

I am familiar with Pixiv's interface, but I avoid using it for the same reason as deviantArt and tumblr: no moderation. On danbooru, there are mods, so I'm gonna have to sort through less junk to get a good picture. If i'm really digging I'll check out pixiv, but I haven't done that in a while.

Also, bumping for update. Thanks to Maav once again.

I changed the download link from a .osk to a .zip; that might fix your problem. Just extract the "Oshino Shinobu 1.1" folder using an extraction program (I use WinRAR) then drag the folder in to " C:\\Program Files\osu!\Skins "

Another request/advice/critic/whatever

SPOILER

Look at the Insane diff. The B score is almost invisible on already played ranked maps.

Thanks, I had noticed it too but somebody else complaining was the motivation I needed.

Bumping for v1.2, small changes here and there. Check the changelog.

I'm more than halfway done with my next skin.

Wanna know what? The ranks look better with the outline, along with being more visible. =]

Edit:
More issues D:

SPOILER

Red combos are REALLY hard to read; maybe consider using the usual greyscale hitcircleoverlay.png?
And custom combo colors (editable in skin.ini, in case you don't know yet) would be neat. Same for mod icons (if you're doing those, don't forget selection-mod-perfect.png and selection-mod-nightcore.png!).

Are you an angel? I've been looking for a Shinobu skin for months. Thank you!

These people want to be the next Cookiezi, but all they do is talk in #osu.

Hey guys! I didn't see this for a little while, but nice to know there are people worth making updates to this skin for.

Unfortunately, I've recently moved, and I am without Internet for another week (using public university wifi right now). So I'll start working on it sometime around then--check this thread for progress and stuff.

Accepting suggestions still, but this is what I have to work on so far:
-spinning slider ball
-mod buttons
-bring some elements into the next-gen of skinning (I made this before the graphic overhaul).

Updating the original post with these ideas as well!

If I can add something, it would look awesome if you would add donuts as ctb fruits and add shinobu as custom ctb character

Too bad I suck at making graphics so I can't help :C

Forum Post

Skin
-changed the buttoms; they still look bad
-changed the combo break sound to shinobu laughing

I didn't implement this because I hate CTB and I'm lazy.

Hope you guys are enjoying Monogatari Season 2! I haven't started it yet because I'm re-watching everything first.

Blood is kinda what vampires are all about. I should release a SFW version where i replace all the blood textures with flowers.
Except I'm not doing that

Luckily for me, those textures are not used very often. You can find them on in-game prompts: "Do you want to process all your beatmaps?" and "Are you sure you want to exit osu!" are two examples I can think of off the top of my head. I would provide screenshots but I did a really poor job of skinning them and the texture appears stretched in most cases where they are used.
