How do I become a 'Skinner'

Check your profile, perhaps you have already gotten a boost. Under edit accounts/personal information you can change your title. If you have gotten a new title the option will be there. If no then just do some ass kissing.

Just checked,

I have...
Citizen
Miss
Mr
Mrs.
Ms.

Only 2 of those actually work for me.. lol

'ass kissing', variations thereon or suggesting such is more likely to get your title moving the other way

Promotion comes by making a contribution to WC, either by submitting quality skins, helping on the messageboard or a general contribution to the community as a whole.

Thing is, you will be noticed. Just have patience. I spent a couple of years on the messageboard, had 100,000+ downloads and spent weeks in the top authors list before I made it past Citizen. I've moved on since then...

Things happen when you least expect

/me wonders how Fuzzy did it....still....

 

 

Probably with mirrors.

I like the 1 knee approch to the ass kissing, it puts the booty right in the perfect place. (from ID4 - Harry Connick Jr's Character).

Any suggestions on whos booty i need to be kissing?

Thanks!

Jafo's probably. And if that doesn't work, try T-Man or froggles.

Only if you bear a really close resemblance to Nicole Kidman....otherwise it's a dud...

Im partial to kissing the booty of FEMALES..

Sending me lots of chocolate works...

hmmm chocolate.. what kind? And where do i send them... FedEx work?

Send Jafo Money. The more money, the bigger the promotion. That's how I did it, right Jafo? The problem is, I'm not rich.

/me thinks that if you send enough chocolate and money, plus a new frog for Brad you just might get a promotion..........

All I had to do was being on the m. b alot. Buying SD products wont help you either. It was months after I got ODesktop before I got promoted. And, if you do lots of notty stuff, chances are your fate: being demoted.





But, I did alot of skins, mostly boots. Boots are much easier than WB's, so it will take much less time to make a quality boot than to make a quality WB. It's a whole lot easier too. People will notice if you used Windows' Paint, which I tried with Blue Waters (at least it had water and was blue!!), but you should always use photoshop (ps elements is the best deal, you can emulate Photoshop functions in it by buying "Photoshop Elements for Digital Photographers" by Scott Kelby.) or GIMP.






And there, my friend is a good way to be promoted. DON'T FORGET TO BE NICE!!!!
Wow. that was my longest post. I'm ready to hit the sack.

Oh, I don't know. I started out as "master apprentice" from the get-go and when I complained about that (Apprentice? Me? I don't think so!) I suddenly found myself being "journeyman".

Moral of the story: complain loud and often.

Perhaps it's an idea to make the "skinner" title available to anyone who has uploaded something.

I agree... if you make a skin then your a skinner

but you should always use photoshop

I guess us PSP user are just out of luck then....

PS is for the rich crowd that want the prestige, the rest of us smart consumers use PSP.


But all you PS user just keep on buying it, I don't want the price of PSP to go up

If you didn't understand that, take an economics class........

PSP user unite! Dont let the nasty PS users drag us into a mudslinging fight. We are bigger than that.

this is getting a little off topic..

Just a LITTLE?

I spend between 40-100 hours working on my wmp skins, I do it for a lot of reasons, mainly to improve my own skill set, but also to see IF I can do something. If you add Skinner just because you upload something then I think that will deminish its worth.

I dont like to slam on others, but there are so many skins i see that look like someone took about 20 seconds and put things together, and then they upload them, and they end up with scores of 6's etc, when the skins just look like crap.

I know my skins are not along par with TSF's skins, but I am also not an artist, so I dont know how they do some of the amazing things they create. I just think that a skinner is someone that puts some time and effort into making something of value, not just something that looks like their favorites bands logo, or some speaker, or even worse a pictre with controls placed on it at haphazard intervals.

I try to make work I can take some pride in, and I REALLY look forward to seeing the comments I get on them. It means a LOT to me to see someone who IS a skinner or higher give me some praise over my work, it is VERY great. The Skinners, etc need to know that their comments can cut or help a great deal.

Is that sucking up enough? or even at all? its been a dang long week, and im not even sure what this thread was all about..

If one skins, one is a skinner....if one skins good, one is a good skinner.

Gosh life can be so obscure at times....

 

Chas is right....send money.....if it works in Politics it'll work here too.

Of course, you could initiate a war....that seems to benefit Global economists and make the rich richer....."Power to the People....herders'....

Already done the war thing.. not interested in another. thanks.

Upon careful review ... yada yada yada ... it looks to me like you've contributed plenty to deserve a promotion from Citizen. So, I dub thee Apprentice romanda.

Just leave the keys under the seat when you're done detailing my car.

by detailing do you mean taking for a ride and picking up chicks?

Thanks!!! Thats kewl.

So, now, whos gonna show me how to make some really wild 3d stuff?

So the moral of this story is, Ask and ye might be granted?

Thanks again MikeB314!!
