Thanks for the advice. ill be sure to use it

I actually really like this skin, but for it to do any good in a public contest it needs to have a few things:
 -Shading: maybe try out some simple shading styles to see if you like them and then try shading this skin;       shading makes any skin (even if it's not very good) 200% better!
-Description: I actually really like your description; it's serious, to-the-point, and well written, but it could use    some more back story. Maybe give us a little taste of what it's like living in the nuclear (spelling?) winter;      what  this man has to do to survive.
-Origonality: I like this skin, I really do, but it is basically a teen skin with a bit of a colour change and a few  tweeks here and there (no offence meant). What the judges want is something different, something ground-  breaking, and to give them that you have to think out of the box. I suggest a different hairstyle (jsu google  russian soldier hairstyle), and maybe some more detail arounf the jacket area (maybe a some epaulet or  some snow sprinkled on his shoulders; maybe some blood stains), but of course it's all up to you to make  your skin the way you want to; please don't take this the wrong way and be offended.

Anyway, I wish you good luck in the contest, and, once again, you don't have to do any of this: it's completely your choice. Oh, and well done for making it all the way to the end of the wall of text.

Bye.

Plz Diamond my skin!!!!!!
