do you keep your old skins

[deano_ue]

something i've been thinking about do you keep your old skins, i'm clearing out a lot of meshes that i never use to free up a gig or 2 on my laptop and i've noticed i still have a lot of my old skins, hell i'm talking dragon force old here

so do you keep your old skins around or if update something do you bin the old

[House Quake]

I've pretty much kept everything

[UnkoMan]

I didn't used to keep them. I would delete my PSD file as soon as I felt it was finished. I also tended to flatten layers a lot. Now I still flatten probably too many, but I do keep them. I forget when it started, but there was a point when I was like "wouldn't it be easier to steal old pieces from skins?" and that's when I started keeping them. I still rarely steal the old pieces unless I am filling an easy request though.

But, yeah. I've got quite a few saved.

[yell0w_lantern]

I save your skins.

[daglob]

I save everything.

I do a search for all the .psd files and burn them to a CD (with the path saved), then delete them from my hard drive.

...which remind me, that's something I need to do soon.

If I do a new version of an old skin, it will also be burned to a CD and deleted.

Like Yellow Lantern, I also save everybody else's skins.

[Outcast]

I like to collect all kinds of skins. Old and new. But of course, if i really need more hard drive space i delete some of the old. But not before backing them up in another hard drive.

[murs47]

i keep most my stuff..i never save back ups though

[Podmark]

I've still got everything, save a few psds that got corrupted in a crash.

[Figure Fan]

I still have all of mine, but that's not really that many to begin with..lol.

[AfghanAnt]

No.

[daglob]

No.

Oh, Ant, Ant, Ant... that is such a shame. I have sketchbooks of stuff I did years and years ago. It keeps me centered so that I know how good (or bad) I was and how much better I am now, beyond serving as inspiration for other stuff.

[The Nemesis]

I don't skin, but in all the folders for the models I've collected, I usually have old skins in them, used way back in the  days.
256x256, very basic looking (most of em).
I don't use em in-game but I like to keep em to remember how far the community has come with this talent.
It actually amazes me that back then my brother and I thought it couldn't get much better, and look at the skins that are made now, haha.

[The Enigma]

I've got all the skins I ever made (all three of them). It's a bit sad, perhaps, but I feel vaguely proud of my "achievements".

[Zivon23]

I used to keep everything.....til my puter crashed on Wednesday......now....not so much(cause I have nothing to save)

[steamteck]

I don't skin but I have 5 backup cds of old skins.

[Tomato]

depends what you mean by "keep." I don't intentionally keep track of my old work, but I often will just copy over my character folders when I swap computers, since relatively speaking a few ff folders don't impact anything and I don't download stuff that often from other sources.

that said though, I might only have a few skins left over from before I made my first base skin... my old portable drive finally died, and I know I lost my old avatar skins/meshes.

[The Hitman]

I've kept all the finished skins I've done, susally toss the .PSPs.
