Seeing how the server is currnently down, and possibly down for good; I thought I would poke my head in here and see what the community is like, and maybe even give you guys something to read while the server is down.

In any case, I guess I consider myself a traveling skin artist of sorts; not really bound to any one server, or even game, but still enjoys the communities. Lately, I have been doing Minecraft skin requests for fun, and if there is any interest of skins I would be more than happy to help; whether it be ponified or not. For pretty pictures to look at in your space time, I put together a little album of my favorites.

Aside from the failed attempt at making my introduction not look like advertising above; Im a semi-competient Java programmer who has smashed his face many times on the silly bukkit API javadocs, but hasn't really done anything productive; and also a huge fan of lurking forums and VOIP services, in any shape or form.

On a side note, my building skills have been described as a mix between "hemorrhage-inducing" and "decent." Given enough time, I can turn out a work that is somewhat respectable; but mainly my focus is procrastinating, commenting on other's buildings, and artwork.

Also, blame Verdana and that awesome Mine Little Pony mod for bringing me here; as I never would have got into minecraft skinning without it.

Welcome to brohoof! I don't think you need to worry that much about the server being down forever, almost certain that it will be back. It's just a matter of time.
I took a look at your skins and they look very good! if you have any time I would love to request something from you!

Routine maintenance, my good sir! Don't you worry about your building skills, you improve just by being here. (and my unasked critiques, but you'll probably learn that later.) I love your skin work, I may make some requests soon, you sound like an awesome guy, and when the server is back online, I'll be glad to meet you!

If there is enough interest I could start doing my skinning techniques on a livestream/recording (old livestream.com ftw) and pass the recordings around. Other than that it's just lots of practice and a little know how with Photoshop (for my template shading anyways), or just knowing how the shading result should look like with either transparent pencil or burn/dodging.

But of course, thats where all my skins are mostly done. Its just that you can only use transparent pencil or a primitive dodge/burn in there; and personally I love layer shading, which can only be done in some other software that has the option for layers.

Well and the fact that I don't have photoshop and I can't crack it 'cuz I am on a school provided laptop

Well, the thread has been a bit old itself. It served its purpose of an introduction a while ago, and quite well if I do say so myself. :P
