Please read everything between this and the images.
I assume I'd be speaking for many skinners on this forum when I say "I don't have time to chase everyone down and personally hand them their finished skins!". We don't charge you anything, or ask for favours in return. We're providing a free service to the best of our abilities, and the least you could do is check back once in a while to see if your skin is finished. It's not hard! We don't have time to hunt down and PM everyone who wants a skin - do the right thing, support your skinner by freeing up some of their time and go to them for your finished product. Now, do read on...
Howdy all,
Before posting this, I had just finished making 3 skins for a friend's LP series. Got bitten by the bug and I'm keen to do more.
Not at all interested in the terribly overdone "creeper in a suit" or "teen in a hoodie" junk. Give me some fresh, new ideas. Favourite Skyrim characters? TV show personalities? Even your pet. The more interesting they are, the more inclined I'll be to do them! Bear in mind, sometimes keeping it simple can give you a better end result than some of those insanely textured skins can. If you haven't tried making a skin yourself, it's always good to try. It'll give you an idea of what CAN and CAN'T be done, and you never know... You might be amazing at it too!
I'll be providing screens etc of finished work, check back here every so often!
The 3 below are from the LP, additional screens from other angles will be added if you're desperate to see their hair better. First one is (no racist) an Aboriginal for a friend who will be doing a guest appearance on our LP series (which has fallen through unfortunately, due to time and travel issues). He loves his alter egos, and he does "Nigel" very well. The second skin is my mate, in the clothes he was wearing when I drew these up. The last, and largest, is of myself as I was. You can have a copy of any of my initial skins if you so desire; just ask!
I'm not uploading these to other sources where they get edited by everybody and re-made a thousand times. I think the whole idea in having a skin made for you is so that it's personal and sets you apart.
Once your skin is made, please remember to upload it and have a look in-game! Many of them will look much better once you've actually got them on, as my screenshots don't show other angles. As for changing your skin, the second image I upload (below the big screenshot) is what you'll want to download and save. There are many guides on the internet as well as these forums on how-to-change-your-Minecraft-skin. Google is your friend it'll show you how to change your skin better than I can!
I definitely won't be chasing people down to tell them their skin is ready just check back here every so often and have a look at the progress.
If something is really difficult, I'll still always give it a go. I feel my stronger points are in realism rather than cartoons.
As a general rule, there are a few things that just aren't possible to include in a skin;
- Writing (1 or 2 letters are fine, anything else is a no-no)
- Black outfits (dark dark grey is fine), because you can't shade on black
- Boobs (may be possible, but I'm terrible with them)
- Overly large shoulderpads ("hat" regions apply to the head only)
- Please try to request only one skin at a time (so I can help more people out)
- If you've already requested a skin on a different thread, please give that person a couple of days to respond! I DO check people's profiles, and if I see you've done multiple requests I probably won't take yours on - simply because I don't want to spend time making a skin that you're already getting from someone else.
It's better for lots of people to have one unique skin each, than to give one person a dozen of their own unique skins!
- Also try to remember, if I don't reply to your request it's nothing personal! I read EVERY comment I get, but I usually only reply to 2 or 3 at a time (to prevent myself from getting muddled up). If you're 1st, 2nd or 3rd in line to have your skin done, you'll get a reply from me and I'll tell you roughly when it'll be ready, but if you don't - just relax and check back in a day or two!
If you manage to have your skin completed and uploaded by me, please change it and view it while you're playing Minecraft! There are often things that my screenshots won't show, such as hats/ears/etc. They'll always look better once you're actually using them!
One last thing guys! When you comment with your skin request, please quote somewhere saying "WALRUS". This is just to show me that you read this first post and so I don't need to hunt people down to get them to send me image links lol. Time is precious and I won't be taking requests without that special word in your post!
Also, if you're looking for a new world to play on, check my thread here http://www.minecraft.../#entry18097870 for an epic survival island seed! I'm LANning a game with a friend on it during my spare time, and it's been awesome so far!
Please, please rep me up if you're happy with your skin or the service I've provided you with! The more appreciation I see the happier I'll be to spend my night doing skins! Haha
Show the spoiler to see a screenshot gallery of every skin requested here that I've completed!
superfox785, I believe I can. 2 of the 3 I did the other night were just made from looking in the mirror haha. Send me a picture of yourself in the clothing you want (shoes too) and I'll have a go. Of course, I'll be doing them in order so it won't be immediate. If you want any custom extras like glasses hats etc, mention those too.
bill_yay, you'll be third in line. Looks pretty do-able so I reckon I can get that one together for you. The writing on the back of the shirt may be a tad tough - is it something you definitely want?
I had a choice between Skyrim or making skins tonight. I didn't expect to get any requests haha, but in the end I've decided to work on this)

Fusion_Fear's skin is (done?), I'm not 100% sure how to incorporate the hat though. I left him without it for now, but if you clarify a tad more I can easily include it for you. Did you want say, a beanie, or a trucker hat? Baseball cap? There were a few styles and without something to base it on my head goes crazy with ideas haha. The only other thing I had a tough time with were his eyes, but I think that depends on the player using the skin. Do you want his eyes bigger so he looks younger and slightly more energetic, or the size they are now where they look a little bit sinister?
Anywho, voila.
The bandana around his head might be a little too big, I never really noticed how much it covered until I uploaded.
<----- This is what you'll want to upload and save to change your skin.
Thanks a load man, I've sent the picture in a PM to you because my girlfriends in it, and I'd rather not post it publicly. If there are any problems with it my E-Mail is [email protected]. Thanks!!
No probs! Yours will be up next, I struggled with the last as I haven't tried coordinating camo + shading and texturing. Was fun, though I should've gone to bed an hour ago haha. Maybe I'll quit work and just do Minecraft skins the rest of my life...
But yes, I'll be doing yours in my next bit of spare time. I'll have a look at the photo now so I know what I'm in for tomorrow haha.
Yeah, I had a quick shot at it and there just isn't enough room on his back for all of the words (maybe just "Badass"). If you still want it done, minus the writing on the back, I can definitely manage that

Alright mate, I'll get superfox's done before dinner tomorrow then I should have yours up directly after!
More bad news - might not even be able to fit the one word "Badass" the space is very limited and text will be hard to read as a result. I might be able to do "Bad" or "Bad" on his front and "Ass" on his back but I don't think you want "Ass" written on your skin lol. It might be better to find a logo or something to replace it with.
I have been looking for some skins of ammy/amaterasu from okami but they seem to be really rare so I would appreciate it you could make this skin. https://encrypted-tb...XbQm_Hhfd-Pbqvw
also I think the skin is so rare because it is difficult to make so I can wait a while for it to be finished
hi I have been looking for a good looking vampire skin that isn't edward from twilight or some ugly weak beast. looking for a really gory and terribly violent looking skin kind of like the vampires from 30 days of night. thanks you.

I'd like more of a trucker hat, please.
Also, the hat should be a faded green, not the same color as the armor.
