Hi PMC! I am Spartan and today (October 16th) Marks the 1 year anniversary of me joining PMC!


Just over a year ago, I was roaming around the interwebz, when I found PMC. I just used it as an anon to download skins and maps.

I was talking to a friend on my favorite server at the time when he explained PMC to me, he said it was an amazing community of minecraft-lovers, he said I could create anything minecraft related and share with whomever I chose.


My very first submission was a project, however my true desire was to become a skinner. My first skin was terrible to say the least. It was suppose to be a red-team member for multi-player

mvgQKpngGod this is bad.


After realizing that this skin was unacceptable, I did the next derpy option and reshaded the Steve skin, of course I just used a color picker and made it solid.

UwUrCLpngThis makes me want to cry :(


I later found the minershoes website, and like a derp, used it.

WyFGuypngWhat was I thinking??


I then decided to get creative, although this was bad-skinner-past-me we are talking about, it sucked. It was suppose to be an EVA Spartan III from halo

iSFMwCrpngI tried.


Later I entered into a color palette challenge, and using paint.net, created this mess


zEyGhipngThis thing got 15 diamonds and pop reel, I aint even mad


The contest skin inspired me to try to make my own skins, so I started on a new style

lIHXkhNpngDoes this look like the face of mercy?


Eventually I got bored and started improving...slowly, I recreated the Retro City Rampage character skin form the xbox version of minecraft.

BPWbZpngI liked it.


I then started improving on he Arm shades.

After creating multiple clones, I took a skinning break, I then this metal junk heap.


vQnhpngstill looks bad :/


Afterwards I wanted to make a female skin

xffcycpngIt came out nicer than I expected


I then decided to look at a shading manual to try to make a better skin, this is what I created, it was for the Sci Fi contest

ZJiEgdNpngDem shades


I was so unsatisfied with my skins, I looked over many different tutorials to find my very own shading style, I then found the perfect style and made a couple skins. This is my Maddie fan skin <3

YDAzTjwpngBeautiful


I loved the new style, and made more skins, I think they turned out great!

LljkBfpngRbhxMpngSatisfaction level: Over 9000


Anyways, I really wanted to share with you guys my journey through skinning, It has been an amazing year and I hope the next one will be even better. If you made it to this point I congratulate you on your persistence. Thank You and have a good day everyone :D
