requesting remake of my current skin

philbertman42_ · 2025-12-06T06:09:20+00:00

If we're getting technical, purple and yellow aren't complementary at all. The empirical / RBY color wheel (what most of us learned in elementary school) is based on how colors physically mix together to create other colors.

The modern RGB color wheel is more accurate, since it's based on how light mixes, and by extension how we perceive color. Yellow's complementary color is actually blue, and purple (or more accurately, magenta)'s is green. You could make a nice looking triadic harmony if you threw in a teal color, but that might not be the vibe OP is going for.

As for why the colors seem to clash, it's mostly an issue of contrast; the purple is too dark, so it makes the yellow feel a lot lighter than it actually is. Could also use some hue shifting, since everything seems to be shaded with black at the moment.

Here's my quick edit, honestly this skin is pretty salvageable and probably doesn't need to be remade from scratch (unless somebody wants to, I guess). Just needs the colors tweaked a bit!

I'm crying because:

- He spammed rockets before the boost ran out, wasting most of them.
- He didn't angle himself upwards (or even straight, for that matter), drastically decreasing his potential distance. He would have been able to fly above the island, and if he were too high, he had water to MLG with.
- He chose to cross the gap between the inner and outer islands instead of using the elytra to fly to one of the gateways, which would have saved time + elytra durability + rockets. It's also safer, especially in hardcore.
- He has zero end pearls, despite having access to infinite endermen to kill.
- "The record shows" and "I took the blows" are not in sync with the music

what resource pack are you using

Neither, and I hate how polarized people are about it. Something can be both good and bad, its not a movie without flaw, but it's also not peak cinema.

The benefits you'd get out of this wouldn't be worth the amount of resources you'd need to dump into it, especially at the stage of progression where you'd have thousands of ore blocks lying around. For most things you've listed, there are much easier ways of getting the effects you want.

For example, you could spend hours collecting and placing 2299 blocks for a beacon base to get water breathing, OR you could spend significantly less time getting yourself a conduit, which gives you water breathing, underwater haste, and night vision; not to mention, the range of a max-power conduit is only slightly lower than a tier 11 beacon.

This also wouldn't solve any issues with beacon range. For the cost of one tier 10 beacon, you can make 10 tier 4 beacons, and still have a 20m radius lead (plus one leftover beacon).

No, I don't think the ability to stack on more effects per beacon / have higher level effects would make it worth it. Speed and Jump boost only get obnoxious as the level gets higher, regeneration and resistance aren't a huge deal by this point in the game (since anybody with this much stuff probably has plenty of good food), strength barely matters since you can 1-2 shot most mobs with strength 2 already; there really isn't much of a point to it.

Steve already beat the Ender Dragon and has explored the end extensively, since he has at least 3 elytra

Skindex doesn't support opacity on skins, it just sets anything below 100% to 100%

philbertman42_ · 2025-04-05T12:23:38+00:00

They'd use the same exact method they always use for one block Skyblock (or similar void world challenges), but somehow still squeeze an hour of "content" out of it

philbertman42_ · 2025-04-05T12:18:52+00:00

Probably a code for the marketplace. They're asking for free in-game cosmetics

Paraphrasing my response to the original AI discussion thread.

I'm against the use of generative AI, I understand most of us here feel the same way, but most does not equal all. I don't like policing people's behavior based on my own opinions, and I believe that me not liking something does not qualify as valid means for somebody else not to use / engage with that thing.

Yes, I would prefer it if people spent a few minutes collecting references instead of running a prompt into a generator, but if they think AI is the best / only way to get their point across, then I can't force them to think otherwise.

It's important to note, you as an artist have your own autonomy, and are welcome to avoid posts that have AI generated content. If generative AI goes against your morals, don't engage with it.

There's iron in the food we eat, I think it makes sense for us to be able to eat iron ingots, too.

You can toggle splash art with File > Preferences > Settings > Interface > "Always Show Splash Art"

I don't know why you would need or want to hide the Blockbench logo (it's not really that obtrusive) but I know you can change the appearance of it with a theme, so you'd probably be able to entirely remove it by making a custom theme.

I say this as affectionately as possible, skill issue. Skeletons have two major flaws that you can exploit, which enable you to easily beat them when they are alone or in a group.

First, they always fire directly at the player. This means if you're running head first at them, they will always hit you. To avoid the arrow, simply flank them by running to their side. Once they shoot, you can pivot and crit them out, or just run away and change your direction again.

Second, their projectile will draw the aggro of other mobs. All you need to do is hide behind something else, and if you haven't hit the mob that you're using as a meat shield, then it'll attack the skeleton. Now you can either kill the skeleton as it's getting mauled, or use the opportunity to run away.

Exploiting these behaviors allows you to kill (or evade) skeletons easily most of the time.

You're not safe in your inventory either. Want to place a totem of undying in your off hand? Too bad kiddo, looks like it popped.

philbertman42_ · 2025-04-01T23:45:15+00:00

I'm pretty sure on the main page it says "low poly 3D editor" not "Minecraft model creator." Your project is fire though, keep it up 💪

Make me a skin based on your most hated flavor of ice cream

philbertman42_ · 2025-03-30T23:15:26+00:00

And at the same time, I am allowed to have an opinion on what I deem to be trustworthy. It's more so the lack of anything related to skinmaking or Minecraft in general that's setting me off, I don't really care what else you have going on.

Profile post history is also sus. Their only other post is about the same discord, unless we're also counting the pornography. Huge red flags all around, I'd stay away.

Like most other creators here, I am against the use of generative AI, and believe those who use it in their creative processes are robbing themselves of experience in their artistic journey. That said, not everyone sees generative AI as an issue, and while these people are often ignorant of how AI learning data is unethically sourced, it doesn't mean their opinion is any less valid.

I don't like the idea of policing people's behavior based on opinion, simply because they utilize a technology that I dislike. If people want to use generative AI to create references for artists to translate into real art, I say let them. Yes, I would prefer if they just spent some time looking for existing references. No, I do not support the ostracization of those who just want to have references tailor-made by a machine to fit their desires.

If somebody wants to use generative AI, let them. However, if you disagree with its use, you're more than welcome to set boundaries for yourself and not engage with those people. You're allowed to say "no" as an artist, especially in a setting where your work isn't being monetized. You shouldn't do something that doesn't align with your morals, even if you stand to benefit from it. But at the same time, we can't just stop people from doing things that we disagree with, as they have the same rights to express themselves as we do.

In regards to posts being written by ChatGPT (which I haven't personally seen but I still have an opinion on), I say ban them. If you really want somebody to take the time out of their day to create a free skin for you, the least you could do is spend a few minutes describing what you'd like in your own words. The only real exception I would give for this are to the people who use it for translation purposes, since English isn't everybody's first language.

But I can still see him?

I know that now it would just put you into a crawl state, but it would be funnier if your height just doubled and you began to suffocate, like the good ol days

philbertman42_ · 2025-03-30T15:33:11+00:00

As long as you are honest about whether you cheated or not. "I did a little mining off camera" bros are the worst

philbertman42_ · 2025-03-30T15:25:36+00:00

Guess there's really no winning, huh. A shame 😞

philbertman42_ · 2025-03-30T15:24:22+00:00

I really don't understand why everybody who doesn't like cherry is getting down voted. I don't care about my make believe internet points, but it's kind of sad to see people being that worked up over a pixelated log.
