Give Idea, Receive Skin

[TheHoboHunted]

Hi guys, my creative juices have boiled away to a much less creative crust in the idea pot on my brain stove, so...

It's been a while since I last made skins on request (~mid-2011-ish), but I've had this urge as of late to make more.

My earlier adventures in this endeavor took place on the MC forums. Good times were had and many requests were skinned. I had a good run until my house flooded, and then I just kind of forgot about the thread... I only recently remembered and honestly, I kind of felt bad about the unfulfilled requests. I need some karmic balance.

Here's some highlights of my past work:

Nyan Cat:

If you like what you see, reply with a request or comment. The more creative, the better.

I mean this in whatever way you can think of that makes it any less creepy...
I want to skin you. :D

[Edit]
I'm making a list for my own benefit:

Tech Priest ala 40k for Taleric: Complete-ish I suppose. (I'd like to go back and add some more borgy things in maybe.)

Blade Runner for Jesar: TBA

Neko Shogun for Maxsi: TBA

Wolphthulu for Kregoth: TBA

Corporatasuar for EpicAaron: TBA

Beast Man for Murillokb: TBA

A "decent" Megaman X for DreamsofFury (I'll do my best): TBA

Nice skins! Sorry that the flooding incident put things out of balance; hope things were resolved without extreme hardship.

I tried a few times to draw a tech-priest ala 40k but lack the skill.

Thanks for offering to take suggestions!

[Jesar]

I like to believe my character is from a futuristic space faring race that is stranded in the minecraft world without his ship, and must rediscover his races technological secrets block by block. So can you make me a futuristic space man (human) with a dark overcoat (something out of firefly) and obviously mechanical set of cyborg arms?

Your skill is incredible by the way!

I could use a new skin, my Skeleton creeper is to old and in need of an update. Could you make a Wolfuhlu? A Wolf body with the head of Cthulhu? I think that would strike fear into all :)

[EpicAaron]

I love the Lobster Ninja xD

For my creative input, how about a suited Lizard of some sort? Maybe a business dinosaur.

[Gilberreke]

I was going to do one of these threads, I'll wait a while, to let you have a go :)

[murillokb]

I love the smell of original skins in the morning!
Nice job man!

How about a werewolf skin based on the beast or something like that xD

[TheHoboHunted]

Oh man, this is why I came to you guys. These suggestions are awesome!

Almost done with the Tech Priest for Taleric, can't wait to get started on another (I work slowly.) :D

Also, by all means, feel free to share your own creations.

Hop on in man, the pixels are fine. Plus, this is kind of your thing isn't it? :)

[DreamsofFury]

While its not a true idea....I would love to see a decent Megaman X skin...not classic but X, every skin I see of him is total shit....I myself have tried my hand at it but it never saw the light of day due to not wanting to add to the pile.

[Gilberreke]

Hmm, you know what, let's make this more interesting. For every skin Hobo makes, I'm willing to do one free armor skin :)

You can replace one of the vanilla ones with it I guess :)

I reserve the right not to do one though, time is not limitless, but feel free to request one if Hobo made you a skin

[TheHoboHunted]

I really wish I could just churn'em out, but my meticulosity concurrently begs to differ.

As does my attention span...

May I present;

My rendition of a 40k Tech Priest:

I sooo wanted to include the tendrils and the gun things and the other stuff... But, whoa. Maybe later? Gil? :P

I hate to skip around, but the two "wolf" themed skins sound interesting. No promises though. :D

I (& Taleric, so far, I'd assume) thoroughly enjoy this proposal. ;P

I'm already working on Taleric's :)

[TheHoboHunted]

I'm already working on Taleric's :)

Rrright on. Looking forward to the results. :P

[Taleric]

Wow! Awsome work man! Thank you for drawing this so well I will have to F5 constantly now XD

Now I can do some builds to match the skin :)

[Gilberreke]

Alright Taleric. Made you a Techmarine suit that you can use to replace diamond or plate armor :)

I made you a nice zip, with item icons, so you can just drop it in your favorite texture pack if you want :)
I set it up to replace plate armor.

More manna from heaven! Thank you Gil, the added texture features have to be a field day for people with arts skills like you guys. So much enjoyable immersion :)

Edit: Oh so good, thanks again :)

Thanks for the screenshot :). That does look pretty sweet. I'm glad you have access to steel, I wasn't sure.

[Rich131]

Hey love the work so far. I'd really love a rastafarian skin with some hemp armour to match. That armour you made for Taleric is absolutely epic, Gil! Brilliant work. May I ask what program you use to draw the artwork?

[DreamsofFury]

Wow...seeing 40k in minecraft was unexpected, looks amazing.

[Panda]

Would u do something very special for me and skin my charicter?

GraphicsGale is what I usually use for all my pixel level artwork, but I can also recommend Cosmigo Promotion. Pixel art works best in a tool written for it.

[Slstoev]

I don't know if I should do this but I'd also like a wolf skin but with cowl with a hood/cloak. I want it to be sort of mysterious - magical mysterious, murderous mysterious, mystery mysterious - I have no idea.

I have sort of skin I made myself but meh I'd like to see your skins. They seem grand so far.

[-J-]

I've got a request for you, should you have the time/interest to deliver. It's really something I've been looking for a great while now. Tried to make one myself but to be honest: I suck at any kind of drawing/painting/whatever.

Do you happen to know...
