Making skins is a very hard and sometimes frustrating activity i use a skin editor so it makes my job a lot easier but still little details like shading do take a lot of time but as you may think from the amount of skins a post a day i make them thought the day or week and then post them when they are finished.
I think making skins is very fun and creative to do my friend epicninjapig got me into making skins and at first i was pretty bad so i didn't post any until today i had a couple of skins already done so i had something to post i will keep posting skins im open to requests and please comment and rate. P.S Check out epicninjapig's planetminecraft he has some awesome skins
