PMC, you have an issue. A very large, obvious, disgusting issue.


Now, I dislike discrediting and insulting the skins of other people. It seriously pains me to do so.

But It's impossible for me to ignore. To ignore the fact that every skin of the highlight reel looks exactly the same. I won't give any direct examples, because you can see it for yourself just by looking for two seconds.

I realize that people probably want more modern, urban themed skins, but can't you at least be creative about it? I mean, when I look all I see is anime girls. Anime girls everwhere. Chibi eyes and low down mouths, with large bangs and lazy shading.
It's probably the new meta or something, I dunno. I'm an old hat. A small potato in a very large potato content-world.

But haven't any of you realized this? Creativity is supposed to thrive here, it's supposed to show skill, patience, effort and impressiveness. Instead I get a blonde girl with a creeper hoodie. Or a teenage guy with headphones.



It baffles me on a very profound level. I look back at the old skins, where you could actually make out what the skin is without looking at the description or the title.
Now I have to spend 3-4 minutes staring at it until I see what the vision was.



This is probably very insensitive, but the fact that PMC has degraded this much since I joined gives me a headache.
Tell me if you agree, disagree, whatever.



Thanks,


- Box

I so agree with you! My sister is hooked on always the same no-mouth skin and look at my skin! I used a LOT of my creativity! I agree that anime doesn't have to always mix with MineCraft.

Anime in Japan... how is it more popular now than Italian Opera?

THIS DOESN'T MEAN I HATE ANIME! XD

Eh, I like my skins that way. But I shade my skins to make it look better. I don't like high up eyes or low down mouths, I stick with the low eyes.

I looked on every Minecraft site or game I know looking for a cat skin. I only found one and I didnt like it, so I made my own. I swear about 9/10ths of the search results for  'Cat' is just another anime girl with ears. I see an anime girl with cat ears, I look down to the next skin and see an anime girl with cat ears. GET CREATIVE AND STOP DOING ONLY ANIMIE! ITS HARD TO FIND SOMETHING ORIGINAL ANYMORE! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY HEADPHONE TEENAGERS OR CREEPER HOODIE ANIME GIRLS I SEE A DAY??? I CAN TELL YOU THIS, FOR EVERY ANIME GIRL SKIN ON HERE IS ONE LESS CREATIVE PERSON! Actualy, make that 5 less creative people. others will see that and do the same because they are terrible thinkers.

Also to add to that comment above I made, I also make a truck load of never seen before skins, but I keep most of those to myself!

Ever heard of President Business? I think now he has an army of server-hooked teenagers that only partner with people that have the same skin. I have to save my sister. XD

I agree, all of the skins that I see use the SAME EXACT shading. I bet it's the skinners being lazy and making the skin in flat color - very simple to do. And THEN adding on to it with a shading layer. It's ridiculous. Either that or they can't make up their own style of skinning. All of them claim to have their 'own' style, but there is no difference. There is a lack of creativity or originality in the skinning world.
