Why Are Some of My Skins Coloured Oddly?

Oi, everyone! It's me, Ocean, again, with a very FAQ-esque Blog post.

Most people ask me when they see my skins, "Why is your skin colour on this a somewhat greenish colour?" Well, the reason for that is because I'm partially colour-blind. In layman's terms, I can't quite see some colours correctly, like light/dark blues, greens and browns. Because of this, I can't see pastels, which then results in flesh colour on some skins being off a bit, as well as other colours for hair, clothes, etc.

Now, some of you may be wondering, "Is it genetic?", or "Is it bad in any way, shape, or form?" Well, yes, but it's a special type of genetics. It goes from the father to the daughter (if he has one), to the son of said daughter (so essentially, it's like this: Father<Daughter<Son). My grandfather on my mother's side was colourblind, but for some reason, it apparently dosn't appear in the daughter, as my mother can clearly see all colours without any trouble. Then, my mother had me, and it passed from her to me (don't as me how this works, I have no frikking clue, either), which resulted in me having partial colour-blindness. So if you're wondering why I've redone or taken down a few skins, this is why. :)

Hope you all understand this and understand that this is why I take some time before uploading some skins, since I have to redo the colouring, shading, etc. :P

And as always,

Peace, love, and tridents!

Well, I have done some drawings of MC Characters, such as my own and my friend photon337. I'm also starting to try my hand at drawing anime pics, but I'm not too good at it yet. :P It's kinda hard, drawing both males and females. But yes, I've done quite a few skins, and am planning on releasing more this summer, because school is out! :D I might even get around to finishing the Dacron Chronicles Skin series, too! If it's in your interest, you can subscribe for more. :)

Peace, love, and tridents!

Well, yes, they do now, but when I first started skinning, I was using chocolate block shading and such, and my own skin was a really pale green for the flesh colour. :P
