February '16 Skin Contest Poll
Jackie1st
GraciousMaximus
It's time once again to decide what our theme should be for this upcoming contest.
Before you vote be sure to read the short description of each of the categories posted below, and vote for the one that appeals to you the most, not just the one that you think will win.
Retro:
Roll back the clock, get your funk on, and make a skin based off of the idea's from the 70's to the 80's, be it the slicked hairstyle of the street drag racers, the afro's of the disco dancers, or even the pixelated faces of the original game characters.
Feudal Japan & East Asian:
The rushing plains and cities of Eastern Asia and Japan take over, as you make Mongol raiders, Chinese emperors, Japanese samurai, and the like. Similar to a Medieval theme, but with the incredible flavor of the East.
Norse Mythology:
Skin a cold-hardened Viking or a monster to fight him. Warriors, beasts, serpents and god's alike clash as you make an entry based in history, or create your own mythical hero/abomination.
Western:
Cowboy's, cattle wranglers, bandito's and old, rich, fat, banking men. Have you ever seen a cactus desperado? I think not. Make a skin based off the Old West and the setting sun.
Guardians of the Lost Treasure:
An ancient tomb sealed for thousands of years, a floating island protected by centuries-old technology, or even a vault long-since abandoned by its owners. What defends it, and what is it guarding?
Aliens:
A gritty, harsh story. Make a lone spaceship survivor fighting for his life against terrifying creatures, a planet of mutated humans, or even the aliens themselves. *meant to be a darker toned theme in comparison to our other space themed contests*
PMC Mascot:
Make what you think PMC's avatar would be! An Earth on the shoulders of the community, or maybe an explorer that came across Minecraft!
Laboratory Experiments.
In this day in age scientists are always splicing DNA and creating new life in the lab. It's up to you to show us with a skin one of the many creatures in those very labs. Whether it be the perfect pet or the most dangerous creature you've ever seen.
This poll with run till the end of the week and end on February 20th
We encourage you to vote even if you're not planning on participating in the contest this month and to choose the theme you think will encourage the best and most creative skins
If there's a theme that we don't have listed above that you think would be great for one of our contests feel free to submit it here suggest-themes-for-the-pmc-skinning-contests-t302543.html

I love gods so obviously i will go for norse mythology
1
Eh, changed my vote to retro XD I have an idea for it, and it might work better. It seems Lab Experiments might win, though.
1
Aliens all the way

Feudal Japan, forever unvoted.

I wonder if there's still hope for aliens :/
1
Same ;(

The Guardians of Lost Treasure seems cool to me. I hope it would help with making non-teen skins. I also know aliens also has that, but I think this theme is more unique.
1
lab one sounds cool!
1
I like retro. Pacman+starwars+Computers
1
I hope Laboratory Experiments wins cuz I don't have any idea to make skin that relates to Retro.
1
Imagine all the possibilities when we go for Guadrians of the treasure, I would be too hyped if that theme won. C:
1
Oh man, I wanted the western but its not looking likely xD
1
Retro, I love retro stuff, these are all good ideas though for future skin contests.
1
Just wondering, for the 'Aliens' topic, would you have to skin a survivor escaping from aliens, a alien that leans more to the dark side, or just an alien in general that can have a good/bad backstory.
1
Lost Treasure Sounds Good,
1
Huh, it's never the ones I expect
1
Schizophrenia. Third time I changed my vote. Anyway, I'm with Aliens all the way to the end.
1
PMC mascot would be awesome tbh.
1
Laboratory pls 
1
I voted aliens, because it has a lot of potential for some very unique and cool skins.
...Also because it looks like the one theme that will have the least amount of generic teen skins.

I like a lot of the themes. PMC Mascot is neat, but would probably be really oversaturated with generic skins with a PMC color pallet. Retro is neat, but I voted for Aliens. It'd be interesting since almost every skin would have to have a fairly unique story for it.
ayy lmao
ayy lmao
1
Still feudal japan
1
I dislike aliens, but voted for it, as I do think it might be good inspiration, working with different shapes and shading.
1
I'm going retro, sounds fun
1
I'm fine with either Aliens, PMC Mascot, or Laboratory Experiments.
1
Ooh, this is hard. Either the mascot or retro. I might do mascot
1
Voted PMC mascot; seems unique.
1
I voted PMC Mascot...what? I think it'd be nice to see what people think.
1
Couldn't decide between Norse Mythology and Retro. Since I'm part Scandinavian, I want with Norse Mythology, but might change my vote later on.
1
I like the Laboratory one, sounds pretty interesting!

How do you enter/make a skin
1
First, you need to use a skinmaker. if you DON'T have a Mac you should useMCSkins3D by Paril,
http://www.planetminecraft.com/mod/mcskin3d/
If you DO have a Mac I suggest you use needcoolshoes.com but be careful and read the Planet Minecraft rules carefully as some features on that website are illegal here.
Learn how to use the editor, and once you've made a skin, you download and come back here to Planet Minecraft, go into the skins section, and you should see all the changing popular skins on the billboard type thing on the top of the page. Below that to the left is a small blue box that says, "Post your skin!", click on that, follow the instructions there and you're golden.
