From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands

With the start of the new year comes a new round of "Skinner of the Month" articles.  Last year we only hit 3 in the 5 months it was running because I fell behind and didn't get interviews arranged in time.  This year though I'm trying to get a head-start and lay out several candidates a few months in advance.

That's where you come in.

Post here your suggestions for skinners you feel should be highlighted in this series.  I'll pick through the list and hopefully we'll be able to come up with twelve deserving artists to feature.

Thank you for the nomination RomanDA.
I think it would be interesting to have interviews of active non-skinners that make a difference in the community of Wincustomize and I would be honored to be interviewed. I do not believe though, that with my few submissions to WC (and the GUIChamps), I qualify me for this honor.

I think that you also deserve a mention. I've seen you referred to as "The DX God." That says SOTM to me. You are one of the most active DX developers and you've done a few useful tutorials.

Like Australia? or New Zealand?

RomanDA makes new years resolution, not to continue to be as large as a small country, maybe a small city...

navigatio, Tim Dagger, boopish, danilloOc, Patrick24, Gef, Qx9, Zubaz, essorant, D. Arnaez, skinhit, Z71, MikeB314, RomanDA, Kenwas, messiah1, Richard Mohler, and Treetog <--- people (skinners) suggested so far... an impresive list... one that could fill up the year pretty easy... wonder why BoXXi didn't suggest himself (oh the modesty )

I'd like to hear from some of the newer skinners... maybe alternate from an 'older' skinner to a newer one

skinhit, pumakitten and Kenwas

Wow! I'm genuinely humbled and surprised that some of you have placed your confidence in my work so I'd like to say Thank You very much!

As far as a featured artist though, I'd have to agree with S.K. that maybe strong consideration should be afforded some of the newer skinners...especially if it would motivate those "on the fence" to try their hand at skinning. I'm relatively new to this site but I've been skinning for a long time now and I've noticed that sometimes new blood has a bigger impact on encouraging potential skinners than old timers. I don't know if it's because they're still new at trying to figure it out themselves, if they seem more "approachable" or what but that's been my perception...

Just my 2 cents for what it's worth...

As a newer skinner, I'm not sure what I could offer. Mormegil is the one that got under my skin and got me plunking around attempting to see what I could create. I enjoy seeing the tutorials and experiencing the sharing of some of you "old" folks. It's nice to know that those with the terrific experience, that really shows through in the skins, are willing to share a moment with those of us aspiring to become as talented as they already are.

Thanks to all of you who have put my name in...for this Apprentice, just to be mentioned in the same thread as the likes of Treetog, danilloOc, navagatsio,essorant,kenwas and the rest is an honor in of itself!

I'd have to go with kenwas, skinhit, and boopish.
