Your favorite Skinners ...

... and why ?

Wednesday, March 9, 2005 by neophil78 | Discussion: Community

As far as i'm concerned, no need for question for first places :

1er ==> treetog and PiXtudio (just 'cause they're the best, always doing fantastics graphics and SUITES)
2nd ==> essorant (always doing surprising pixels, but bad note, not doing SUITES )
3rd ==> Apo_67 (a mixed of those up )
4th ==> Z71 (a terrific skinner which is doing perfect skins, and which is not enough pointed forward as i think)
5th ==> danilloOC (get a specific style, even if i don't like too much "dark" skins)

Up to u for your choice

Would be unfair of me to pick favorites when it all comes down to the mood I'm in that day/week/month. That's the very idea of skinning for me [customization]; being able to change the look and feel at will.

SO.. if I'm in the mood for some technical masterpieces, treetog, Tiggz and danillo surely fit in there.
If I'm in the mood for clean, fresh or different, there's BoXXi, Essorant and NightTrain
If I'm in the mood for Aqua-esque styles, it's mormegil, jairo boudewyn and whomever makes the latest Royale theme for WB
If I'm.. and so on lol..

Truth be told, I can not pick just a few. I like many [MANY] and for many different reasons. I might as well try to pick just a few favorite musical artists [won't happen].

To me it's all 'mood driven'.

Ian Black, I don't need to explain way, just look at the stuff he has made and you will know why.
JJ Ying, Incredible cursors, and animation talent, by far one of the best if not the best I have ever seen.
D. Arnaez, No one knows 3DS Max like he does. Some serious 3D skills there.

....and myself of course

Windowblinds ONLY:
Grayhaze made my favorite skin. (Tactile - a 4.5 update would be greatly appreciated)
For daily use.....Essorant, followed closely by Z71 make the ones I use the most and find the fewest problems with.
MikeB314, Tiggz, Treetog and DanilloOC make beautiful skins, but I favor a more simplistic style.
There's a whole lot of really good skinners I haven't mentioned

Lets see, to choose a favorite skinner would be impossible, I find that I like skins from almost all of them!

Apocalypse67,Duopixles,lightstream,Mike Bryant,MorpheusX,Boxxi,Phoon,Arcana,Tiggz,Xav73,Michael Brandt,Snowman,Mindless Puppet,I.R Brainiac,Bones2112,Night Train,FilkoSE,Haluk Uysal..etc..etc..etc..

The order of names does not reflect any type of "Status" it's just a list of Skinners that I have found skins by that I realy enjoy..I havent even listed them all and thats just because there are sooooo many!

Anyway, Keep up the great work guys/gals,
And thanks!

This topic pops up every 3 months or so. Maybe we should start a "What skinners do you like the least".

I'll say WOM, just cause he keeps refusing to make a skin

My always favorites (and in no particular order) are:

>Treetog. Because not only he made the 1st skin I ever used (CopperDeckII) but his style and attention to details inspired me a great deal to skin.

>Adni18. Another great author that not only motivated me into skinning but helped me as well.

>DanilloOC. Because of his unique style and detailing on his work. Also helped me on various occasion with my designs.

>TSF. For their consistency on great designs and innovation.

>Hippy & Michael Bryant. Two authors with great skills and great work.

>Mormegil. For his uncanny and professional work and for taking time not only to share his work, but also for teaching us the techniques.

Thank you guys for everything and thanks to all of those that contribute to the skinning community.

I would have to say Mormegil is my favorite. I have to say it 'cause he's standing behind me right now telling me what to type. Just kidding! I do think he's the greatest in the whole wide world. 

I also really enjoy the work of DanilloOC, essorant, Mike Bryant, Bones 2112, Night Train...too many good artists to mention them all!

Mormegil and Treetog are what every skinner should strive to be like. Unreplaceable assets to the communty. They prove that they are Masters over and over again.
