I hate some skins. I hate the "teenager" skins. I hate most of the mob in a suit skins. I hate a lot of things, but these crappy skins are the worst. It seems that every time you go on PMC someone has uploaded ten "teenager" skins, all with a hoodie and headphones. Who uses these skins? I always see one n00b on a server who uses them, but not many people do, and for a good reason. These skins take away from the very concept of creative design, and inflate the submissions with sub-par, unoriginal skins. Please, before you post a stupid skin, think "Who will download this besides 3 n00bs?" if the answer is more n00bs, you should probably start working on a different one.

Rantily yours,
LordLupin

Lol yeah,completely agreed.

I want to punch someone right in the face every time i see a "Teenager"skin.
It always goes like this-
Teenager skin pops up

5minutes later

Another Teenager skin variation with slight modification pops up

5minutes later

ANOTHER Teenager skin pops up.Exactly the same as the original one.BUT with head phones.

And then this goes on forever...
But i think many of the skinners here have ONCE made a teenager skin,a hoodie guy and other bullcrap.
(While i think the teenager headphones are a good practice for making hats.)

Have to agree with you there. For a Skin Request of a Herobrine hunter, I used a Steve skin as a base to carefully create the face of Herobrine on the cloak, as I wanted to get the colors rights. But usually, I make my skins from scratch.

So in the Steve skin the Herobrine Face is just like a Mask right?

Er, no. I painted over the parts of the skin so that it resembles Steve in almost no way what so ever, and the Herobrine face is on the back side as part of a cape. I would post a link to it, but I'm not sure if the "No url" rule includes inside the PMC site itself.

I thinks people of this day and age are too lazy to make things themselves, or they're XP whores :P

I do. A lot of these people just want to make submissions so they make crappy skins that no one will use.
