Elizabethan
Ruffs, frills, wigs, feathers, leggings, stockings..
The Elizabethan Era spanned the length of Queen Elizabeth I's of England's reign from 1558 to 1603. The period marked the start of England becoming a world power, as well as a leading nation in European art, literature, theological study, and philosophy. This period's dress combined a multitude of different countries' styles from the time period, and featured a wide range of color schemes and color symbolism. Time for you to skin this period of English history.

Circus Characters
The circus is filled with all sorts of strange and wonderful things from clowns to lion-tamers. Make your skin based on what sort of circus show you'd like to see and explain to us what it was.

One man's trash is another man's treasure
Create a skin of something that is of value to you but isn't to someone else and vice versa.
Be sure to describe how it is valuable to you or another being, maybe even create a story about it

Futuristic Industrial Revolution
We are in the generation of technology. We are using machines to do our tasks, transportation to move us around, and to ease our lives. However, machines have become so significant that now robots are being used and made to take over the labor of human society, such as fighting fires, constructing buildings, cooking in restaurants, etc.
Skinners following this theme will have to think of a futuristic robot or machine that has a job of a normal human. Their robot/machine will have to have something that they use in order to perform their job.

World Leaders & Historical Figures
The scientists, inventors, political figures, or other greatly influential people who have made a significant impact on shaping the world we live in. Depict a real historical figure from anywhere in the world, at any time. Be sure to keep it historically accurate!
