Hi, it is my skin for the SSPBL : season 7, third week.

I used 10 colours out of the 48 possible of them.

It is a knight, with a crown. The armor is more Medieval fantasy than medieval historically accurate but you can still recognize the leather gloves, the crown, the chainmail on the legs and an armor chest/shoulder with a somewhat metallic texture.
Also on a technical level, the light source comes from the top. On the legs, the light yellow real bright top light source has dissipated enough to let another lightsource take place : a blue one. Therefore a nice contrast exist between the head and the legs : hot colours at the top, cold colours at the bottom, and the chest/arms serv as a transition between the two lights.

Now that you understand what you are seeing - or so I hope - you can really move beyond this technical rendition of the skin to see the symbolism within. It does represent a king ruling his people and their relation with nature.
The leg could represent the abyss because we see the chainmail gradually disappearing in this deep blue. At the top of it : the belly and arms of the skin, you can see a great diversity of colours. I know some people would qualify them as too randoms. Since that zone is in between the blue light source - the abyss, which represents nature in a way - and the yellow light source, coming from above the crown, which symbolises the king, or the notion of autoritary power in a more general sense, we can say that the middle zone, on the belly and arms, represent most of humanity, I mean the people. They are stuck in between the control of nature - which they are above - and being controled by superior powers - the crown, which they are under.

But that's not finished. As you can guess it, tere is a 4th level. The people and the king are submitted to the real bright top light source. It has to represent God, gods, or any divine entity in which thoses elements submitted themselves to. The only thing the top light source didn't touch is the legs : which represents nature. Obviously, Gods couldn't be on the skin since they don't materially exist, they are beliefs.

It gives a nice message in my opinion. People and their rulers may believe what they want, nature is always truer and does not need humans to exist. In fact, what makes the world work is nature, since it's the legs of the skin, and without legs, humanity is condemned to inaction, therefore : death.
