Why are you people still looking through this profile? There're more active folks to see out there, other talents to support both old and new. I'm just here to wade in and out of existence every year or two.
Skinning mentorship ting: In the past several skinning mentorship programs have been attempted, some succeeding and most failing. Because I've learnt nothing from that, I am going to give one a try. In said program I'll introduce you mostly to how to do the gradient skin style, that is mostly dead on pmc at this point ( :c ). I have no clue if any of you are interested, in case you are let me give you a brief description of what to expect and what you should have in your baggage to join.
What to expect from me and other skinners that comment on your work:
Harsher criticism than you're used to on pmc. To help you improve, there will not be much holding back. The better you get the more nitpicky it will get - for the most part this has helped a lot of older skinners get really good, so it's a tried method with success.
That you can at any given time get thoughts on your skins.
An introduction to a lot of new skinners and skin principles.
Introduction to more common practices of course.
Challenges and skin ideas to broaden your perspective on skinning.
What is expected of you:
Ability to take feedback, but also to think about why said feedback is given. Feedback is not a must to implement, so rather think about why it's given. For the most part I'll try to warrant my feedback, so you get helped towards understanding why I think the way I do. But you should also think about it yourself.
That you're motivated and dedicated.
That you're willing to do more than one type of skin (eg. not just knights or teen skins).
The willingness to explore and research several styles - no answers will just be given to you.
That you can communicate over discord (because communicating over pmc pms is a bit clunky.
If you're interested hit me up with a pm. I live in CET/CEST, so it's an advantage for me if you're around that timezone. There is no set formula to applying, but think about showing off your current work and describing what skins you like and don't like and what your goal for making skins is etc.
Sorry to spam but I just remembered that my latest skin pack comes out today on the Minecraft Store! If you like Vikings be sure to check it out! Thanks guys ❤
Well I see too many high quality skins being made here for mojang to be taking in low quality.... They had some really good skins at first but, I guess too many people prefer PC now XD.
I completely understand the point you're making and have often been frustrated myself by the low quality skin packs that are published to the Marketplace. The simple fact is that Minecraft's core audience is of a younger age and in saying this, the expectations of the content that is made available are very different. Successfully producing and marketing content that appeals to this younger player base greatly depends on how visually appealing and entertaining it is.
You did great, bedrock edition does not get good skins anymore and it confuses me, but luckily something of content has came out, besides, its skin that mojang put on there, why do they have to put such low teir skins now of days? Besides, I can come here and get a good skin without a single penny.

Palette Battle League is back! We're doing things a bit differently this time around. To enter you need to complete a skin using the week one palette above. Attach a reply with a link to your skin to the PBL thread to enter. This palette can be found in skin and .gmp (PMCSkin3D compatible) forms on the thread.
Keep in mind that there have been significant updates to the main thread, so please read through the rules and make sure you are familiar.
