'Metals' a new skin set I'm working on

I posted this in another thread but thought this should probably live (or die) on it's own

I've been working on this for a while now and have it probably 70% total complete. At this point it's VGA only but will release in VGA and QVGA. Still need to tweak a couple of things out but the list is getting smaller and smaller. I'm still trying to decide on which PIM front end I'm going to work in. I know I could use PocketBreeze but haven't decided yet. I've create a background version in course (pictured) and fine, and the Wisbar pictured in dark but I also have a light, and a gold anodized bar set too. This has taken a LOT of time. I intend to charge for this one but I'm trying to give a compelling enough reason to do so. Let me know what you think.

App skins at this point:
Wisbar - done
Sbh Pocket Plus - 80% done
WeatherPanel - 60% done

I think it's pretty cool but do you have any others? I mean are you going straight to commercial without giving out some examples of your work? I can live with that but quite frankly you really have to be exceptional to even come close to making enough money to really pay back your time and effort. Most folks do it because it's fun and share freely for a few years before going the commercial route.

Hey no problem. Thanks for the feedback. You've seen some of my free stuff with the psShutXP skins. I've done this at a profesional level in a different venue or vertical market as it were in the telecom industry. I'm no stranger to complete and professional. I'm knocking this out fairly quickly given a limited exposure to the PPC market though. My intention is to be thorough with what I bring out and give many different combinations that can be used to create a personalized touch. I'm also drafting up correspondence to several different companies to see if there is some branding that can be used contractually to help offset the build time. If that's a possibility I can farm some of this out under direction.

Definitely a man with a plan.
