A Minecraft skin take on the "Rainy day for Mr. Squiggles" artwork by andrejolicoeur,
one of my favorite pieces of his:

I tried to play around with perspectives a lot, making the hands show the sky above, the shoulders the ground below - as if Mr Squiggles really is tucked away under the mushroom head - and the sides showing the stem of the mushroom. I also tried out the 1.8, partial transparency on the coat layer to lift things off the skin, and to aid the illusion that Mr Squiggles is in front of the mushroom stem. I think the grass legs worked really well with that, too, as well as the rain drop splash.


Andre also made the Jolicraft resource pack here on PMC, which is a lovely, light, cartoony pack, that I definitely recommend you check out.
