Communities/Skinning No idea how to make a skin :P

I have a mac, and I use photostudio. It's similar to paint or photoshop. Look in your apps, it should be built in. McSkinEdit is another option if you'd like to see the preview of the skin while editing.

edit* oh.. this topic's months old.. >.>

Your skins are actually not bad, and technically you are noticed.. considering you've got some subscribers. (Every sub is someone who notices you, so don't look down on them even if you think it's not many).

My best recommendation is to go hang out on chat once in a while, and advertise your skins a bit. It takes time for most of us to get noticed (unless you're brilliant like maddie and get 300 subs in a month ;D), so don't get discouraged.

Communities/Skinning How Long Does it Take You to Make a Skin? (POLL)

Before around 3-6 hours.
Usually an hour on base design, then 2-5 hours on shading.

Now it takes longer, as I work on multiple skins at once and spread shading over a week.

Communities/Skinning Different Skinning Styles

IamPetz

• Level 43 : Master Bunny

I like well made skins. By well made, I mean original skins with noticeable effort put into shading and design. And for character skins, I prefer them to be accurate.

Personally, my skinning style is the "simple, hardly noticeable shading" as I prefer cute and bright skins. However, I'd like to add that although it looks simple, it's actually quite tedious because I use more shades to make the colours blend. For each skin in my series, I usually spend an hour+ on shading hair alone (since I like developing new hair shading styles).

Yeah, tht seems to be a miss conseption but I have been meaning to ask u iam, how do u make such popular skins and get so many diamonds for each of thm?

Well.. first off call me Petz ;P
And why are my skins popular? I have no idea. I just try to be original and spend a lot of time on shading. And I always try to improve with every skin.

YukiActually, you'll find that the finalists are based on the amount of diamonds you gain during the time up until they are announced. However, from there the judges go and judge based on Concept and Originality, and Technique and Execution.

No it's the amount of diamonds. Yuki (a JUDGE) already said that earlier..

Great advice. So how do you get well known?

Every 15 minutes. You'll need to read all the rules first though (it's above the chat box)... otherwise you can get kicked or banned for various stuff.. xD

Your entry is actually nice, I do hope you get into the finals =)
And that's NOT the only way to win contests. Diamonds only get you into the finals, how well you do in the finals depends on the quality of your submission.

What you're doing now - posting on the fourms - is a step towards getting yourself noticed. Directing traffic to your page helps you to get more views on your skin, and maybe some diamonds in the process.

Personally, I don't follow the fourms much. Another way to get noticed is hanging out on the chat and advertising every once in a while there. You can make some friends, and if they like your stuff, even earn a few subscribers.

And on the updating thing.. updating your skin really doesn't help that much. Especially now, as everyone's updating their skins to prepare for finals (you can't update during the judging process). Also PMC's been buggy the past few days.. so if you update it might not even show (preview might not change).

Anyways. Good skin, hope to see you in the finals
