Quake 3 New Combatant Entry Form
============================

Skins: Raven, Robin, Bluejay, Canary
Designer:  Keith Chan
Designer's Email:  chekeichan@hotmail.com

Description:  A skin pack which is based on Major.  Originally meant for a ctf-ready workaround but I decided to call it quits on this skin and go back to studying.

A month or so ago I thought of the word "raven" and liked the sound so much it became my Quake 3 name.  The design is based on my idea of what a person with that callsign would be like.  Yes, it is a female assassin.  But this one has a ski mask with plexiglass faceplate so it's unique.  =)

To make the skin I simply drew over the Major ctf tgas with photoshop.  I kept some of the parts such as the breatplate/backplate shine since I could never ever do something so cool with lights in photoshop.  For the curious, the "line bird" design is from a christmas card I made last year.

I spent lots of time making the bots play like I do.  Unfortunately they do so only on the Hardcore level.  The other skill levels are just lower or higher numbers than hardcore.  And they really like jumpads for some reason so they aren't too good in the space levels.

Instructions:
Unzip q3skn-raven.pk3 from q3-raven.zip.  Place the pk3 in your baseq3 folder.  Run the game and look for the skins bundled with Major and Daemia in the Settings/Player/Model screen.

FAQs
Q:  What can I do with your skins?
A:  You can trash them if you don't like them. =)  You can do almost anything if you email me first, get my permission and credit me (and id for the model/sounds!!) in your own readme file. Also, no nude skins!  If you have the urge to make one, wait a few years and you'll be mature enough to think otherwise. And please send anything you do involving my skins to me via email.  

Q:  Who are you?
A:  I'm a student at UC Berkeley.  These skins were a fluke idea which unfortunately came during midterms.  After staying up through consecutive nights, I decided it is good enough for a public release.  Yes, this is my first skin.  I have plans for two more skins (for Grunt and Conni) but then I'm quitting.  Yeah right.  Actually the Grunt skin is done and it's called Nic.  Go get that too!!

Q:  Who is the face?
A:  Only seven people know right now but her fans will probably ID her immediately.  There is no meaning to using her eyes and not someone else's.  They're nice eyes and there are many random pictures of her on the web making the conversion very convenient.  

Q: Explain the hair!
A:  Um, I can't do modeling stuff so... uh.. she cut a whole in the back of her ski mask so her hair would pop out the back... yeah.....

Q:  Doesn't Canary look like...
A:  The Transformer Bumblebee?  Yes, a peculiar side effect of the "Change Color Balance" in Photoshop.  Don't worry, Canary doesn't 'play' with humans as much as Bumblebee does.
