the polls closed but after taking a look at your skins you should definitely stray away from the pastel style. by doing this, you would already be more unique, and also almost all pastel skins look the same

your skins are way better than mine.

I think you have amazing skins! The only thing I would improve on is colors. More like experiment with different color techniques, Like dark, moody, etc.. But overall I like your skins!

I think you have an unique style with your skins, I'm not the best skinner but... I'd say keep reaching out of your comfort zone and make sure what you create brings you happiness!

I know absolutely nothing about skins o-o

Yup, that's right, the funny skeleton man is giving skin advice.
My skins are kinda a bit extremely just for laughs. But one thing I know from being an artist is this,

if you like it, that's the most important part, sure if others disagree it's fine to take advice, but if people want you to do something you don't want to do?

Yeah, they don't got any authority there pal, I've seen lots a skinners get stressed out and leave the community. Don't let it get ya down.

Hope this was at least a bit helpfull.

Bro, i should be asking you for avice, or a lesson on shading because i have no idea how to do that TwT

This kind of goes along with "less pastel and more vibrant" but try to experiment with different color palette thingies. Practice more because practice makes prefect! And maybe use references from photos or other skins. (´｡• ᵕ •｡`)

Imo, none of your skins are bad. It's like how there's no bad art, and skins are def art. It's just a specific style you have, and certain styles will be liked by certain people is all.

I like your style, but if you don't, just experiment. List styles you like/dislike, stuff you like/dislike about your skins, and try to make your skins more the way you like.

If you like your style, please don't change it for anyone else. Skinning is a hobby you do for fun!
