Interesting stuff. You seem to have experience with skinning, I am curious, why haven't you shared any of your skins yet?
Or have you, but perhaps under another alias?
I have no need for an alias, hiccup. I'm not that interesting or devious (whichever way you want to look at it).
For a while now I have made skins for my own amusement and use. Most of what you need to know can be found on here somewhere and it's been a case of trial and error.
Besides, it keeps me occupied and passes the day.
Why haven't I shown them? Well, there are others on here who are clearly more talented than I am. Just because I know how to make a skin doesn't mean that those skins are any good.
I'm quite happy doing my own thing for my own use. Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to show them. For now I'll use my own ones that I like and when I want something different I choose one from the new skins that have been published recently. Some of those have been really excellent and bring the player to life more than I can.
