    I hate when I am trying to start on a build, but it takes me forever to get anywhere with it, Because I just can't seem to get focused on it, Nor be able to find a good design lol. Once I get started tho. It doesn't usually take long.
    I started on my large mining shovel build a few hours ago, but haven't gotten anything done because of that lol.

    I've seen people often think of an original character (OC) as a particular design, and while that will hold true in some communities it is also not an unambiguous interpretation. Delving into what an OC is (or can be interpreted as) might be in order, particularly with events as of recent.

    Original character refers to a character that isn't a part of previously licensed material. This explains the originality part of it; so what is a character exactly. Contrary to what seems to be the focal point on pmc, a character is usually defined equally or moreso by their bio, their mind etc. compared to that of how they look. This is because those attributes or traits will remain the same, no matter the visual you put over said character. Of course the visuals play a role too, however, an OC is more than the visuals alone. You can find several definitions of character, that hints towards this.

    Of course this doesn't mean that the visual aesthetic of your character should not be accounted for, particularly when others have a spin on your original character: What it does mean is that you can reimagine the visuals of the character in case you keep their unique traits consistent. Reshading a skin is not the only way to remake an OC, adding your own ideas to it should be equally, or more, appreciated, as it might help you find new sides of the character you invented. A question that might be worthwhile asking yourself is: if you only view your character as a visual shell, is it really a full-fletched character?

    on ya, brother - I wholly agree

    My own tuppence:
    the art world and media as a whole would be terribly dull if derivative works were never allowed to deviate from a given original work. Ergo, I'm not fond of the idea that new art must walk lockstep with its referent material. After all, we'd be doing away with a lot of fanart, fan-fiction, cosplays, and so forth.

    At their core, fan-material often only takes the essence of its referent, then goes on to append new ideas and perspectives to create something new and interesting. I don't see why our approach to skinning and fan-skins must differ.

    I wholeheartedly agree with this. A character should have depth, if the "character" is purely visual or is being used purely as an agenda tool, then I believe such "characters" are nothing more than empty husks. Although, I do believe it's fine to just draw a form that you find interest in. However, in that respect, I wouldn't call such works "characters". Most of my skins aren't characters but visual humanoid representations of an idea.

    I've been a writer with dozens of OCs for three years. During those three years, I've learned that while appearance is important, the story is what truly matters. My current main characters have a few interesting physical traits, but overall their silhouette is that of an average human being. Their personality is what makes them unique and stand out.

    Character design =/= an OC.

    Don't apologise for taking a break from something that was once fun and has turned into what feels like a chore: in the context of skinmaking on pmc, skins you post on planetminecraft will commonly be something you do as a hobby; people do not have the right to expect you to make a skin to a schedule when this is the case. People shouldn't push that expecation onto anyone, neither should you have to push it onto yourself. I think me, and several others, much prefer to see one or more really really good skins followed by a break, than someone churning out par to subpar skins because of lack of enthusiasm; if you can stay on your A-game while making several skins a day, by any means do so, that's awesome, just make sure you stay fresh and interested.

    Taking a break from anything that you spend your freetime doing is to be expected, in fact, I'd encourage anyone to just do it without even having to explain why: Breaks being good for your continued interest and enthusiasm in the subject is all the reason needed. Stay on top lads!

    (I hate pointing it out but it's making me laugh you spelt hobby wrong lol) x
    Completely agreed- I don't think anyone needs to state they're taking a break because it's for their happiness and being, however if you want to openly state to people you are to make them aware then that's perfectly fine too! x

    Plus it's good to take breaks for the sake of enjoying real life outside skinning to, making time for yourself and everything for your mental, emotional and physical health x

    Started on my pack of railroad track. So far I have a single straight piece, one straight "mainline track" piece, and a left and right hand switch. I think for the curves. Instead of trying to make pieces that will fit together to make a curve. I will instead just make "pre made" curve pieces of various radius.

    Finally started on that pack of railroad track sections. I had mentioned about a very long time ago lol. As I had mentioned before. It should have various sections of track from straight track, to switches, and curves/angle sections, etc. So you can use the track sections to quickly lay down railroad track in your worlds.
    I was supposed be building a Roller Coaster, But that made me frustrated, so I tried to build a water slide, that made me frustrated too. So here I am building railroad track lol

    So excited again. Went out to check and see how things where doing in the garden again. MY ears of corn are just getting "silk" on them (the white and brownish "strings at the top of the ear), That and I got a gif of two rabbits playing with each other next to my garden. They are also the reason the fence is there lol

    Well. I have always been a big daydreamer, and like delving into my imagination. That and I can usually remember most of my dream at night, and I just generally like exploring my dreams both daydreams and dreams while I sleep So It just kind of came into my mind. So a dream wanderer, and I just kind of put it together lol

    I know it may sound confusing, but I just couldn't think of a good way to put it into words lol

    Almost done with the track layout. Turns out I am not very good at roller coaster designs lol. I'm hoping things look much better, after I add all the supports, and structures, and the coaster itself. Might have to spruce it up with some landscaping and scenery to make it look better lol
