Wow, this topic is more like an argument than an art thread.
superunit... I'm trying to find the words to say...
1) Please... for your sake (and ours) stop making skins and start looking at people like these if you are serious about making qualitee teeskins:
[Snazzy, Ida, ZippaH, ZippaH's posterous, alias, nubY's (a.k.a. alias) posterous, Flo's posterous, The Messenger*, The Messenger's posterous*, Zatline*, Zatline's posterous*, bobsmiley* (inactive since: 2009-December-6th), Tebob's (bobsmiley) posterous*, Jon*, Crises*, Crises posterous*, Lappi posterous, Lappi, and Landil posterous]
If not... well I won't tell you to stop, but most people will never like them.
2) It honestly does look like you spend about 5 mins (or less) on each skin. I never asked pros how long it takes to make a nice skin, but it probally takes like 10 mins or more. idk.
3) Listen to people when they give you suggestions. So far I don't think you have actually talked to anyone when they given you suggestions. Bat the conversation back a forth to get further info on questions or comments on have, so you can get better!
*sigh* That is all...
Give others the respect you wish to be respected with. In the mean time, enjoy the website!
