Yeah, I mean, one of the skins that beat mine had no favourites, 1 diamond, (the original), and not to be bitter too, but it was more reminiscent of my first skin than a contest finalist. I want chat back up so I can ask the admins better.
I'm not sure, it's all confusing. I posted a blog with a picture of a cat with Gordon Brown's face and it somehow made the reel. I think you have to get a certain amount of diamonds and views in a set time. However, for the contest (skins) I did better than a lot of people, feedback-wise, and didn't get in the top 100. So I think it may be something else. Go with the first theory, maybe.
Shade the bottom of the trousers, above the shoes, and shade underneath the hoodie on the trousers, bottom of the sleeves, possibly define some hips, shade the jaw, under the hair and hood, as well as under the sword, for starters.
