Since as I made my own skin a long time ago, and have made a handfull of them for friends and anyone who requested a custom look, my skill has grown a noticable amount. Seeing as that was the case, I felt that my current skin had grown outdated and below my personal standards, I thus decided to start from scratch, this was the outcome.

Some noticable changes would be the smaller goggles, a less prominant smirk, and I immersed myself a little bit in the game by adding torches strapped to my thighs. Also, since I was one of the fortunate ones to attend the first Minecon, my character wears a special cape in-game, and so I added a cloak clasp on the front of the skin to reflect it (cape is posted in center) Along with not bothering to give myself a tail since A. it was hard and B. nobody would see it with the cape in the way.
