Skinning and digital art seem to just becoming more and more mainstream. WinCustomize has a Japanese version, new skinners and artists on many different sites, Skinartisrty has a tutorial class in a few days, WinCustomize added personal user pages... what else can happen in the future?
Well...
Look at the Save This.com folder created just for The Art and Skin Report
As some of you might know, a report is coming out about desktop customization (skinning) and digital art. There are so many things out there just waiting to be high lighted it not even funny. From very inventive recent skins like Skintendo, Winter Blue, and the unstoppable Natural Desktop using Desktop X technology to new skinnable apps in recent months like Ave Desk, Right Click, and updates on programs like Rainlender.
What is even better is that now in WinCustomize you can find articles on Customization, tips and other interesting tid-bits.
Out of the many things that will be in the report:
Hopefully, this report will be released next month (fresh for the new year) and what is best about it is that, from the date it is published until 30 days later, there will be more added to it. It will be sort of a living report for about a month containing a whole bunch of stuff... skins, art, cartoons, skins, articles, links to articles, tutorials, skins, and skins.
Also, a recent public out reach is being asked for at this point and time. What would you like to see in this report?
In the mean time, I'll be floating around adding links and emailing people. Until then!!!
