BTEX -- Ice Dragon modules
First & Foremost:
All artwork credit for this skin must to go to Tiggy & Xaphiroth, as I simply photoshopped the Ice Dragon artwork to accommodate my various add-ons... Ice Dragon comes packaged with the BTex add.
That being said, I did modify the existing Ice Dragon artwork so that all of my add-ons had a "home."
These files are the iterations that I refer to in my BTEX -- Ice Dragon Customized pack description... they are "mix & matchable" image files to be combined to your preference, meaning that you can choose different image blocks to create different bottom artwork. Because Tiggy included an option to change colors in BTEX, you don't even need to keep my blue/grey tones--you can make it orange for Halloween, red or green for the holidays... you get the drift... Plus, if you're in the mood for the artwork to not be so heavy, you can just adjust the transparency, for a smidge of framing around the elements that you've placed...
--------------------
I like to experiment with different add-ons and sometimes the layouts that I tinker with don't fit into my set boxes. When that happens, I just rename a couple of .tga files to swap in the right "look" so that everything fits...
Originally planned to be an update for my first customization pack of Ice Dragon, I decided to make this a separate art pack, even though the artwork is similar, because this pack requires some file manipulation in order for it to work. It will not work "out of the box" as the other does and I didn't want to unnecessarily complicate the first one by updating it with something that requires a different set of steps...
Detailed instructions are included in a .pdf file that outlines exactly what needs to be done to create the BTEX artwork that best suits your needs... You may view the instructions on screen or print it out for reference. You will, however, need Adobe Reader in order to view it.

Thank you SO much, Tiggy, for making BTEX available to us, not just to use, but also to fiddle around with...
And thank you, Xaphiroth, for the remake of the Ice Dragon skin...
-------------
Also of note: When I uploaded my first BTEX customization, there were several problems with file corruptions and folks were unable to use them. PLEASE let me know if any of these files don't open properly. I have tested them here and all seems well, but all the same, I will do what I can on my end, if a similar issue arises, to make it all work...
