My goal in making this skin was to first test my ability to apply my preferred shading method with a gradient rather than a solid color.

I don't think I have it down just yet but I feel relatively happy with what I have managed here.



After that, my goal was to make the pants look like an orange-ish sunset, the shirt was supposed to look like blue skies and the hair was supposed to be a night sky. I'm not 100% confident that was conveyed perfectly, but I think it was done decently.



Finally, thank you for viewing my skin and reading this description! Any constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!



REFERENCES:

I looked to A1reArtz's skin "Neal Bradley" as reference for ear shape, arm shape and arm shading. Although their skin was never downloaded and used in the making of this skin, I feel that it should be mentioned.

Also, I understand that the clouds on the shirt thing definitely isn't my original idea. I am not claiming it as mine, I just wanted to try it out for myself.
