[SE] RaceMenu Overlay Design

Recommended Posts

Saw this tattoo while mindlessly scrolling, and I thought it would look really cool as a hand overlay for RaceMenu. I have no idea how to make overlays, only how to use them, and I sadly do not have the free time to try to learn, but I just think something like this would be super cool! I have a few tattoo mods, but I have been looking for something specifically for the left hand for my main character, and this would be perfect for her!

There are some artists who publish "goth" style tats. You could  snag a few designs from wherever you go hunting for tattoos or one of those "tat sheets" and use paint.net or any other dds capable editor to cut up, recombine, rescale  etc to fit to a given element or location on the body, using layers, then either apply directly to the hand model or generate a layer and add it to whichever path contains those things.

In my case, I mirrored a skeletal dragon's/insect/not-sure wing tat I liked, then snipped bits from another couple designs to apply to the interior, then made it into a singular layer, toned down the black color (was originally the same black I see above) to simulate natural aging,  and applied directly to my player's back. In hindsight, it was kinda-maybe foolish to apply directly (open femalebody_1.dds, open other image, making sure it has identical overall workspace dimensions, copy paste into a new layer atop the body dds, reposition as necessary, then merge), but it works, as long as you're sensible enough to make a backup of the body texture before doing so, unlike some dopes (coughs me)

good luck.
