Oh, how to make an arctic fox Minecraft skin... what a difficult subject.

Happy weekend and December 2nd! As you can see, the site theme is now WINTER and we hope everyone is enjoying all of the little icicles, snow, and feel of the site! It technically isn't Winter yet (December 21st is the official date!) but we're close enough – with snow, freezing temperatures & all of those fun winter-y things (in some parts of the country). We've been planning and preparing the themes, activities, and other little surprises for December, and we're excited for the weeks to come!


WEBSITE UPDATES

TOPPER
Have you seen this adorable little pixel penguin waddling around? No? Well if you haven't, it's because Topper randomly appears, just like their predecessor Batty. Please be patient. You have an entire month to meet!



Shout out to BIO, the artist behind Topper and Cyprezz for programming them to life! If you have any EMOTE ideas for Topper, comment below!

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS

This week, PMC Member ArchiGa was featured on Minecraft.net! The interview highlights their submission, Cælestes Horti / SkyGardens, which was an entry in the Sky Scraper Project Contest! ArchiGa goes into detail about the inspiration behind the build, the length of time it took to create it, and gives insight about the build in its' entirety. Congratulations, ArchiGa!

Phrozenbit is doing an exam for their driver's license right now! 😱 Good luck dear ❤

Things are calming down a bit. I will learn new shading style (like a teen skin that is a bit pale and very smooth) and start working on commission skins! :D

Note that doing skins is only a source of my income for now. =w=
