Was it terrible? Did it turn out alright? Who did you make it for? Did you upload it anywhere? Do you still have it?
Do you even remember?

I'm curious to see skin creator's very first skins!

Please show yours in a comment below and tell a little about it. 😊





^ This was mine. Made for me, after what I looked like at the time. 🙃 It's 7+ years ago since this was made. Before the Alex model even existed, and back when arms and legs were mirrored. Notice the dino on the shirt? The dino part always stayed. 😊

I applied noise, thinking it fitted nicely with the vanilla Minecraft textures and pixelated feel of the game. My skins look a lot different now, but this is fun to look back to. 😀

https://www.planetminecraft.com/skin/mysticminer-s-mixed-skin/ The first skin I ever made was when I found this website yesterday. I just could not find a site for skin creating until now. It has a very good mix of themes, wonderful skin overall. Follow the link to see it.

I've only made 1 skin in the entirety that I've played MC, and it is the skin I still use to this day for my character. It was made with a skin generator, which made it a lot easier. I don't know how to upload an image of it though...

It was a skin of myself, it had no shading, it was backwards, the eyes were too close together and there was a heart on it's shirt that looked like it got shot by a gun or something. It was horrible.

When I made my first skin (on the skindex), I didn't really understand skinning, so I just made some weird colorful skin and only did the front. I don't think I have the skin file anywhere anymore. (It might have been lost in a hard drive crash or something.)

This is my first and only creation, took too long so it deterred me from making another

inspired from my favourite DC character Zatanna <3 Very magical *poof* (I also made a variation that replaces the black with white and reds with purple for a special wedding event I took part in)

My earliest skinmaking was terrible. I don't have access to it so I'll describe. Peach skin, those weird stolen skindex brown hair with shading, either blue or brown 4 pixel anime eyes (Like Kawaii's comment), rainbow striped t-shirt, and neon green headphones. I don't remember the rest, but probably black athletic shorts.

My first skin is an embarrassment.... I was very addicted to PopularMMOS back then so the eyes on my first skin ever were copied from Jen’s skin! It’s kind of weird thinking how much my style has changed....

The first skin I made was Black and green girl. I think it turned out good , though I like my second one better Its based of the skin I have now. I had never made a skin before, But Princessbookbear showed me how to do it :).
Though I might have play a skin making game when I was 9, I can't remember. The reason I wanted to make skins was because I wanted to make my own skin, But I realized that I love the skin I have to much and that I'm not that good at skin making.

The first skin I made that wasn't experimental or highly derivative of the default skin was "craftykids":



It started out as a version of the Steve skin with modified clothes. I ended up changing most of the rest of it too (and making it match the Steve skin in my texture pack), but the hair stayed the same shape, and the pants kept the same patterns on them. It's supposed to look like me, but its skin color is more brown than mine, because I assumed that Steve had the same skin color as me. :-P

I don't really have the first skin I made anymore. It was a long time ago, before I knew anything about skinning. It was really plastic. (The skin was a personal skin of a guy dressed in blue.) I used it some, but then I decided to use something better quality. I don't have it because I didn't care to keep it and the computer that it was saved on broke down a while back.

Actually, the skin I wear right now is a continuation of my first ever skin. It evolved trought the years to the point that there isn't even a single pixel left from the original but.. here's where I started:

I made my first skin myself, so my first self-made skin was for me (too confusing?). It was not very sophisticated, I've come a long way in skinning. Sorry I can't show you, I never uploaded it anywhere either... But basically, it's a person with jeans and a green T-Shirt with a large K on it. (K for Kwanatla)

My earliest (I think?) skin was one made for a medieval roleplay server about 3 or 4 years ago. I may have made a few skins before it, but I can't remember them and their files are forever lost.

It was just a modified Steve skin. You can't find this on NameMC because I wasn't searched when I was using this skin. Idk why I made this at the time...

this. yes believe it or not this was and is my first and only skin. been a fan of skinning for the longest time and actually learned from observation of other skin creators. People like dragonsdungeon and halucid. when the time came for me to make a skin I was more than just prepared. I made the best possible skin ever.

From a yet unwrit blog:

...2012 was around the time I started to really get into gaming. I’d previously watched YouTube gameplays, but that pales in comparison to playing Assassin’s Creed on the PS3 for the first time. I was hooked, and had also started playing MC just prior to that. Around then, I hopped on PMC and saw skins like Cipher_Punk’s and thought I could do the same.

...I used Gimp to create Revelations’ Ezio attire. I didn’t use a noise tool - instead I attempted to replicate the creases in the tunic as well as the decorative patterns of the tabard-y things.

This was 7 years ago sad yeet
