At
MXskinz, it started out with two people skinning like crazy,
and then as time went along, so many wonderful talented people
have contributed to the site to make it the variety that it
is!
Here as a big thanks to each of them, MXskinz will feature
a skinner each month or so! Thanks so much to all of them!
Name:
Laurie Ellis
Net Nickname: sezmra
Where do you live? Middle Tennessee, USA
What programs do you skin? Yahoo Messenger, mostly. I
mainly started skinning that because I could never really
find any good skins for it that fit with my desktop choices...
and so I ported a bunch of popular skins. Currently I'm
dabbling in skinning other proggies, such as Kewlpad and BoxNote.
Hopefully I'll tackle the tougher stuff in the future.
What programs and graphics programs do you use to make
your skins? I use Notepad and Winzip for the delivery,
and usually just
Corel Photo-Paint as far as graphics.
I'm apparently chained to that program forever.
Website URL? www.thallos.net
which is unfortunately down for a bit while
I switch Hosts.
Hobbies? Oy, skinning(of course), painting/drawing/computer
graphics,
and gaming.
Do you have a favorite skin? IHmmm, that's a tough
one. For the most part, my favorite ends up
being the one I use at the time. I'm still really digging
the Logika suite
by Treetog and Alexandrie. I really love their work , but
who doesn't! :D
Now if I were to pick a favorite of *mine*, I'd have to say
Lunar Base
for YM.
Do you have a skinning philosophy? Since 99% of the skins
I've done have been ports of other skins,
my philosophy as of now boils down to trying to keep the port
true
to the original yet at the same time be a tad original in
itself. I'll
simply take some elements of the original skin and arrange
them in a way to fit yet not be a complete carbon copy.
What do you like to skin the most? I suppose that's
Yahoo Messenger! I think I could do it blindfolded with one
hand tied behind my back at this point...
I'm the mildly impatient type so it's a simple, perfect program
to
skin for me.
