My attempt at learning acid skin shading. It's not my favorite type of shading, but I think I was able to complete it relatively well.

The thing about acid shading is that the contrast is really diverse for a shading style. The darkest color is pure black, and the lightest color is almost neon. I had to go and edit the blue jacket and the hair to bump up the contrast, since it's difficult to do with colors. Accents like the skin color don't go all the way to black, but they do still have a lot of contrast.

Acid shading gives a really pixellated feel to the skin. You're most likely to see acid shaded skins on players who mainly focus on pvp, since it's mildly popular in that community. Some would even call acid shaded skins "pvp skins" or "tryhard skins"

When looking for other examples of acid shading, nothing had come up with a few google searches. This type of shading is indeed called acid shading, i swear I'm not making it up lol. I just couldn't find references, so I recreated it from memory.
