Need Help tired of this plateau
Friday, June 22, 2012 by BlackDragon 17 | Discussion: Skinning
well i haven't been on this site for a while or skinning, and i feel like i don't know where to go from this point. Could use some constructive criticism on my work cause i feel i am at a plateau. Anyway some feedback would be much appreciated thank you.

Hi BD.... long time no see..... good to see you 'round again....
You may not have seen the post.... but Boss019 died recently.... link.. big loss for the community as well as his family... 
so clever with those logons...
with regards to getting back to skinning..... with wallpapers, check out the other submissions as to the sizes of walls that are popular... offering widescreen resolution as well.... do a variety and zip them...and put the available sizes in the description...
if you've moved on from xp... trying making some wallpapers and submitting as vista/7 logons.... moderation is a little more forgiving in the logons area than the wallpaper gallery when you're starting out.... get a bit of a running start there....
you've already made Rainlendars.... they're always a welcome addition...
checking out tutorials is always time well spent to improve skills...
looking forward to seeing your creations....

Wow that is terribly shocking news to me, He was such an amazing artist and was always more than willing to give help. He was an amazing guy unfortunately I never had the pleasure of meeting him in person.
Unfortunately i'm still stuck on xp I actually moved out of my parents house 3 years ago so needless to say money is tight.
Thank you sydney it's been a long time

From what I see of your work just now BlackDragon 17, it is really quite good. You might consider delving into more current skinning areas like Windowblinds skins as your techniques look really good. With a little practice and patience I imagine you would do quite well. Wallpapers are great too!
