Do you keep skins a secret?

[Young Twig]

Do you? I'm making a nice skin right now, but nobody will be able to see it until it's done. (Or near done if I have problems...)

[Hanzo]

My first skin post made quite a trouble. But I won't keep my skins a secret in the future (when I have more time to focus on skinning) I'll post my skin concepts or whatever on the forums.

I voted not a skinner, though I'm thinking about trying to put something together.

I'd definitely keep it a secret till I was happy with it though. :)

[Cabinessence]

Not a skinner, but I would really like to make one.

[fatal error]

yes, until it at least functions with minimal bugs

[regener8ed]

muwahahaha.

I try to keep skins a secret, but then i get so excited that I have to show others :)

Yeah... I'm getting excited about this one. I hope it will last until it's done... ;)


Regener8ed, I go to your site periodically to look at the skins which "you admit to." Are the other ones better? ooh... I want those ones. MAKE THEM NOW!

[Travelian]

I keep some a seceret. Some i sheare with fellow developers but are still kept seceret from the masses.

A few designs i'll show off because i'll get overly excited about them :)

[drewkeller]

i voted NO but i've only released one skin and that one was done without any announcements beforehand, so i suppose it could be considered "in secret" though it wasn't kept in secret by any purposeful design.

i started a second skin many moons ago and asked for suggestions for improvement. never finished it though.

I voted yes,because I really do keep them a secret..I like announcing them only 2 times,first time is usually when the forum or at least the skinners die..But the purpose isn't to take the attention(..it is but not the primary one..),I like seeing screenshots of new skins from different skinners,(I don't mean those suggestion threads)..I think most of you would feel the same.And the second time is after the upload,to find out the bugs and any improvements before it's spreaded through thousands and millions of people,:p

so if there was a WIP section,that would be quite interesting and fun to visit since its a gallery of upcoming skins.."who is workin' on what" gallery..

I think I've always kept mine a secret. My main reason now is that I only do skinning work about once a week so skins take a really long time to finish.

Mine take a while too. I haven't touched 52 yet. Hmmm... Probably doesn't matter whether or not I annouce them, People will forget anyway. :D
