Story of Contest Theme:

You are entering to the magic world of nature where trees can grow higher than clouds and most creatures normally live on trees. It is an enormous rainforest biome, all trees in the world grew from roots of the world tree, the center of world.

The World Tree was the first tree to grow from the earth's heavy rainfall almost 50,000 years ago. The height of trees allow them to trap eletricity from clouds causing evolution and some creatures are affected, too, allowing them to develope their body and finally have special abilities that is called "magic".

Dark clouds from the West sky are coming, something terrible is going to happen and world tree's leafs start to fall. We must save the world tree!

Tips

UCCD rule
You can use my skinning ideal rule, the UCCD. It is stand for "unity", "clarity", "contrast", and "detail". Try to keep balance between them.

1. Having good "Unity" means that your skin have balanced interesting area on skin (or focus point). Messy skin lacks of unity.
2. Having good "Clarity" means that your skin can catch eyes of people easily and they can understand it in the same time without asking.
3. Having good "Contrast" means that its colors are not too saturated, or too much dark/bright. People do not want it hurts their eyes.
4. Having good "Detail" means that your skin is not too plain, it should have its textures on it (Dithering shading is good to make texture for plain skin). By the way, good "unity", clarity", and "contrast" may cause good detail, too.

Catching the Eyes of People
Try to use shadows, glowing effects, 3D layers to allow your skin catches eyes of people easier.

Writing Description
Skin's description and backstory do not affect scores. It make judges and people understand your skin better.
