When most people think of spring, they usually think of eggs, sunshine and happiness, but the truth is very different. Although it isn't wetter than winter, spring is quite rainy, hence the phrase 'April showers'. I made this skin because I wanted to show that spring isn't all bunnies and sunshine, like the stereotype implies.

Honestly I don't know who the person is meant to be, But it's clear that they are soaking wet with rain, so they must be outside. The yellow overcoat they just threw over their shoulders makes them look like a fisherman, and maybe some of the water that's dripping down their hat is just spray from the sea. But the big boots make them look like a farmer, having to cross a muddy field in torrential rain.

I think that this is the best skin I have ever made, and including this one I have only ever made two decent ones, the rest are terrible. I wanted to make someone who is clearly dressed for bad weather, so I went for the stereotypical yellow rainhat and coat to make it clear what was meant by the skin. I'm not too happy with the boots, but I've never been that good at making shoes anyway. When I first thought of this idea, I wanted to make the person look like they were being rained on to explain why they were wearing the rain stuff, but I realised that it wouldn't make sense to have a player walking around a world with rain stuck to their head, so I saved a copy of the skin without the rain on.
