Regarding Honeydew, ownership and other unsorted unpleasantries
I'm trying not to be smug about it, all I want is to calm people down in the comments section, but I am indeed the original creator of this skin, not Honeydew. I did not upload it here first, I created this skin for a guy who requested a dwarf skin in a /v/ thread, unfortunately I cannot link to the original thread as they automatically disappear in a few hours, however I also uploaded it in minecraftskins.com roughly at the same time. Feel free to check the original upload date (September 1st, 2010) and compare it to the first time the Yogscast Minecraft show aired (December 2, 2010).
Additionally, Simon in his Reddit AmA, when inquired where he got his skin from, he answers:
"The skindex, I was... drawn to it... whoever it was that made the skin, I thank you, bless you, you are a dwarf amongst mere men."
Thanks to CaikIQ for pointing this out.
Still not convinced? Well, I'll let you in on a little secret, this skin is actually an edit of a previous skin I made, The Spelunky Skin (originally uploaded here), feel free to check the eyes and the shade cast by the helmet, even the skin color is the exact same value.
As a final note, Honeydew never attempted contacting me regarding this skin (and if he got it from minecraftskins.com there was no real way of contacting me for I have no contact information there), and he does not require my permission for that matter, I made this skin so that people can use it freely and have fun with. Also feel free to edit it and draw upon it in any way you see fit, I place no restrictions.
If you have any questions about this issue feel free to PM me or mail me and I'll happily answer any doubts you may have, if you keep it civil. Any further message about this matter in the comments section will be approached as total disregard from my part.
