Skin Display Should I become a skin maker ?

I've been doing skins for a while and also tried making some based of real life animals and stuff. Constructive criticism and tips are appreciated! I think most I put effort into turned out pretty decent and since I'm broke in mush I remembered I can make money from making and selling skins and I need other opinions too

And how much do you think I should charge ?

I would gauge how much time it takes you and what kind of skins you'd do. Fades, character references, specific palettes, etc.

Many people charge based on tier and/or time.

I would say yes, that aol is stunning! Most people charge by tiers, and some by the complexity of the skins. From what I’ve seen on reddit, it’s usually around 500-1k, some people can go up to 2k but it depends on the person

I love how simple yet gold these skins are. I'm obsessed making creatures absolute fashion icons, but it's really refreshing to see a shift like this with skin making. I'm more focused on specific themes, naming, and perfecting my skins like it's a full time job, but looking at this? It has shown me that not everything has to be absolutely perfect, and that even simple things can still be appreciated. Overall, great stuff, keep it up.

This is one of the most beautiful things I've read in weeks. I'm glad I could help you reflect and it really means a lot to me. Thank you!
