I created this skin for the_soup's female skinning challenge. One of the reasons why I generally avoid making human skins is that I have a really hard time doing hair in the realistic style that I prefer to use. While exchanging banter with the_soup over my Raggedy Ann skin, I noticed the_soup's avatar is a creeper girl with HUGE hair. Since, I am doing the female skinning challenge I figured I should "go big or go home" and decided to confront my hair phobia head on by turning the avatar into a skin. While laying out the hair that covers most of the skin's body, I realized that I could use it to create the illusion of a more human proportioned female (see my Science of Skinning blogs for more info on illusions and body styles). I spent an insane amount of time on the hair for the illusion. Another way to create the illusion would be to use a cape. I am pretty pleased with how my experiment with the legs turned out.
This skin appears in Minecraft Monday #105!!!
