🔮 SKINTOBER 2023 🔮 [HALLOWEEN EVENT]

WHAT IS SKINTOBER?Skintober is an event I introduced to the Minecraft skinning community back in 2017. It's an event where participants make skins corresponding with different Halloween-themed prompts. The first ever Skintober was formatted in the likeness of Inktober (daily prompts, 31 total!) The original goal was to create a visual timeline of improvement throughout the month. As of 2022, Skintober is formatted as a bingo board.
With the bingo format, participants will fill out the bingo board by creating skins following the prompts on each tile. There are 25 prompts in total, but only a single row (5) is required to reach the "goal." If you'd like more of a challenge, however, you may fill out as many spaces as you'd like! You can do the prompts in any order, and prompts are not tied to specific dates. Complete the board as you see fit!
The event runs throughout the month of October (October 1 - October 31); the board gets revealed early in order for folks to prepare ideas. Remember: there is no pressure to finish the event or completely fill out the board. Please do not stress yourself out over this event, it's meant to be fun.
THE BOARD
Last year I did a poll for what the next Skintober should be themed around...the winning theme was 'astrology'! Below is the board for this year. If you're participating, please tag me (Fawne) in your submissions and use the tag 'skintober23'!
* For the 'your zodiac sign' tile, if your sign is already on the board (libra, scorpio) then you can choose your chinese zodiac or another alternative! Another idea is creating couple/matching skins for these signs.
* Standard player skins (64x), HD player skins (128x+), and mob skins are all allowed! You do not have to stick to just one, mix it up as much or as little as you'd like!
* ALL PMC RULES APPLY
WRITTEN PROMPTS
If you're unable to see the board above, here are the prompts written out:
fortune | libra | reflection | luminary | tide |
venus | wands | persephone | spirit | glyph |
karma | crystal | your zodiac sign | stardust | mystery |
divine | cosmos | breeze | hecate | mars |
energy | destiny | midheaven | scorpio | opal |

This looks insane ! Good job and great concept ! I might participate ! :D
Question: do I have to use the prompts in order where they are written ? Like, day 1: fortune. Day 2: libra etc...
Or can I just pick randomly ?

Thank you!! & you can pick randomly! There's also no need to do a skin every day or do the entire board. The only time limit you have is that the event ends on October 31st!

Ah, ok ! Thanks for those precisions ! :D
I'll participate for sure, then !!!

just post skins as you normally would but add these things to the description:
1. a mention back to me (@Fawne) so i'll be notified & see your entry
2. which theme(s) you've used for the skin you're posting
& in the "tags" area, add "skintober23" :)

Do we have to use your written prompts or ours?
4
i personally dislike when people make their own prompts (i have a wallpost explaining my feelings though it's subs only) but it's not something i can actually police. i will say...if you're using your prompts...you're not joining my event?? im never going to encourage people to copy/steal my event, so im not really sure how to answer this tbh??
4
Y'know, I didn't finish my prompt Soo I'll use the written ones with credit. Because I don't feel like thinking about random prompts XD
5
if you wanna do certain themes that aren't on this years board, you can still post those skins as regular halloween/autumn content, unrelated to skintober. or even try to find a way to relate those skins to the board. wanna make a zombie skin? sure, u can say they got their "karma" or smth LOL
& hey at least you asked!! tons of people just assume my event is free real estate 😭

glyphs could be something historical, mythological, or magical...think ancient cultures like norse runes, egyptian hieroglyphs, sumerian cuneiform...or classic wizardry in fantasy works like minecraft, d&d, etc.
your interpretations of prompts don't have to be super literal :) so don't stress!! & im always down for throwing out some ideas if anyone is struggling!
