    I would say you need to design your own case not just stick Decals on an exsisting case

    ah right its skin it to win it never mind then :)

    I would skew your gearing thing to make it look like its on the case I would also take the bevel off the decals as your trying to make it look like its on the case :)

    That one seems very nice but I agree looks a bit empty and unfinished, maybe you should follow the plan wich ended up with the second design and improve it, so yeah..

    I really like the changes on the updated design 2.
    I sorta imagine some sort of ghost/creature in the colors, you could try to make it look a bit like that maybe, would look really cool I think

    The part where the logo is good (design 3) but I personally don't like the ''sudden'' change of light green to dark green, maybe you could try something there.

    Offtopic: The thread name is a bit sexist IMO, girls have designing skillz :p

    If its like the bird face with spikes ontop, yeah.

    If you want more detail, you could add different shapes and possibly creatures that springs from the main shape of your design.

    The way I think this would be cool, is the way it's cool to watch a flame for hours and hours; It's always something new to look at, and theres always this detail you can wonder what is, and so on

    Why do's the decals run over parts on the case looks really bad all you got to do is rub them out "talking about the case clips and line" The logo of the comp is still wrongly skewwed so thats needs fixing.

    I would do something with the front of the case like a green outline on the front panel also maybe try placing the logo into the decal. Maybe try looking at an pillow emboss effect on your design to make it look like it is ecched into the side panel on the case.

    Also I think the grey case do's not suit your high green and black theme.

    Edit: To be really harsh your not going to win with the use of 2 brushes splashed onto a picture of a case design your own style imo

    If i use a white case the green could stand out a lot more.
    or should i scrap the whole 600t case and go for a different one ?

    I was thinking about it today the simpler the case the more you can do to it then you have nearly have a full are to work on rather then trying to dodge fancy case parts

    Imo thats much better to work with now all ya gotta do is made your design look like its on the case.

    I like the white one more :)

    Maybe a green outline on the front, design imo is looking better already :)

    also maybe make a better gradiant background like darker so you can see the case popping out :)
