I received my 100th subscriber yesterday!  Thank you loyal subs and viewers.  Your support keeps me skinning and working hard to improve my technique.  When I tried to think of a way to celebrate this milestone the choice that seemed most appropriate was to skin another penguin.  I chose to do this for several reasons.  My penguin skin recruited many subscribers who apparently love penguins (and have asked for more). I also wanted to use this opportunity to show how my shading technique has changed in a few short weeks.  The original penguin was an Emperor penguin and lacked definition in the black areas.  It's head was noticeably "blocky" (sort of like the cubish Pecola).  After doing my shading study (previous blog entry) I wanted a chance to apply what I learned to make a head look more spherical and to see if I could make a noticeably different species of penguin (there are 16 species - I'm not planning on doing them all!).  I chose the Macaroni penguin.  There are several differences in the two species.  The Macaroni has bright feathers on it's head, deep red eyes, a brightly colored beak, pinkish feet, and carries it's body mass much lower down.  Believe it or not, almost every pixel was changed between the two skins. Here is a screen shot comparing the two species of penguin.

I logged in just to subscribe to you, I love the penguin skins you make, and I was just wondering if the next Penguin skin you make could be a, Adelie Penguin, or a Gentoo Penguin. If you could that would be amazing of you. well enjoying the skins you made. Thanks

Thanks for the sub!  I don't have any immediate plans to make additional penguin species but I will keep your suggestions in mind.

I don't know if I will be able to enter a skin in the MITC contest.  I'm away for 2 weeks and really don't have a way to make skins, just pop in and out of PMC occasionally.   Thanks for your support.  You should definitely enter a skin.  Contests are tricky to score in - good luck!

While looking at a skin or blog or whatever, you will see a little diamond icon toward the upper left corner of the posting.  Clicking on it gives a diamond.  Clicking on it again will remove your diamond (but please don't do that LOL).  Hope that helps and thanks!
