Due to demand of both, I will be doing both a contest and a skinning tutorial.
I cannot push out a high quality skinning tutorial in a single day, so that will be a work in progress for some time before it'll be released. Rest assured, it will get finished some time soon.

As for a contest it's currently out on the forums: It's a palette contest.

I've added some hopefully alright prizes for now, I might update them with some extra goods later. Good luck to anyone participating
