For a first time in Doing both of these things it turned out pretty good!
Try using more Filters/Textures though.
And When Hue shifting Something, if you just cant seem to get the right color, try Turning on the Colorize function.
Or just say screw it and paint the whole area the desired color, sometimes that can look better.

No you wouldn't want to Fade it, That would make the shading that shows up More smooth, Not the Jagged sharp colors that metal tends to have.
Actually Fading it would make him look more organic, if that's what you want to go for.

What I did for this was Have 2 Solid Colors, Just Red and Black but with over 9000 more Jagged Edges.

His eyes are Yellow I thought that would look cool, but Black would be better.
I'll Release it when I fix that, I wish I could make it so that his eyes are always closed though...
Sonic is fun to mess with

Oh, That worked! Thanks! (for the previewer)
I still cannot get the vertex box to open even though i downloaded the latest version of Java. It still says the same exact thing.

Really like that texture! But I like the one i have on my Green sonic better.
However!
I will download it to see how you got only the env01 to show up, and play around some of the colors and see what I can do with the Env01. That U shape is good but They're probably other cool things that need to be done with it.

Oh snot I completely forgot about to get a profile picture of Gohan Buu! I'll get one up as soon as I can.
And i already tried getting the latest version of Java... But i am not entirely sure which one is the latest. I'll try again.
It would also help me if i knew how to get the BrawlBox Previewer working, I have no idea how to do this. I just know that it is possible. (I have version 6.0d)

I Would/Can do that, I found an awesome Tutorial for how to do it. However, I cannot seem to get Das Donkeys Vertex box to Open. It says something about Javascript and this missing file thingy.

Hello Everybody! Im new to Texture Hacking so here are my First two Texture hacks! (please be nice )
Thanks to Shadow's Pre Hexed Models of Link I have Updated my Gohan Buu and Kid Buu to be even more Awesome!
I should point out that something was glitched with Gohan Buu's Strap Removal, and sometimes it sticks out his back.
This is most noticeable whenever he raises his arm in the air.
