Hey, I came up with an interesting idea while I was showering today. Why not have a club for which the sole intention is to take request skins? I really enjoy working for someone else, especially knowing how much they appreciate it. I just want others' feedback on whether or not they thought a group like this would interest them. I'd love to see an elite team stamping out request masterpieces for all to enjoy. Maybe the admins can set up a skin request board especially for the requests. (Knowing requests will inevitably happen, I think MSk should have one with or without a club to back it. --but that's just my $.02) With me enjoying request skins as much as I do, I really wonder if there are others like me that would want to be part of a group devoted to it...
My only big thing is only one skin per request. (Not the whole fleet thing. There's no time for that much work. [unless you REALLY want to] ;D)

I do some single skin requests every now and then if they're of any interest to me. For full sets I want money for my services.. Some are willing/able to pay for a few weeks work while others seem to think everything should be free.

What do you think of the idea of a team or club, like "Legion of Doom Skinteam" or something like that? make it a place where all the skin requests go and we can pick and choose who we want to work with. maybe in the skin garages or something. I dunno, just throwing it out there.

well i think this is a good idea. I actually get 2 or 3 personal requests a month, some i take up, most I don't (the expect-everything-for-free set) but a central request area, well LFS already has that, if i get a personal request i often just ask them to post up their request here or on lfs orum. Depending on their attitude/manners the response can vary greatly.
Tsunami - you're in charge!

well, lemme know what I need to do in terms of getting a board set up for it. (maybe by WIP board or something.) I'll also create a website (Prolly using myspace, cause it's a ton easier) for the club members if we want to do that. At that, any names or ideas to share for a club?

I'll create a board for you soon here on MSz if you are willing to maintain it. I think it would belong in the main section perhaps just below the Skin Challenge board. Some organisation would be required to make sure that work is not wasted with double-handling (two people doing the same work without realising that another person was taking care of it).
I suppose you will need to define who is on "the team".

Nice idea! What about "The Masters Mob"?

I like that! "The Masters Mob" For choosing a project we'll just "call" said skin. If someone disputes it or wants to do it, they can talk it out. I bet if we see an opportunity for a good one, several skins will come up. It's kinda like an individual skin challenge then.
Bunta-- I'll do my absolute best to keep the board running smoothly.

I'd just like for anyone intersted in becoming part of "The Masters Mob" Please say so on this thread. I'll keep a running tally and make designs respectively for our website and banners (maybe?) Again, I'll try to keep things in order for this group. Also, if you have other names besides "The Masters Mob," lemme know. Maybe the members can make a vote out of it or something...

I think Bunta's idea was to have it inside Master Skinnerz, just a different section, like the lab section and skin section etc, so you wouldn't need a seperate website I'd like to be involved if of the class required. I think you (or a few people) should decide who can join the club so we don't have inexperienced skinners tainting the name. lol - Just throwing ideas around, take them or leave them of course, this is your baby

hmmm... good point. we'll initially have a select group and from there, we can vote on it if someone takes a request without being part of TMM, or asks to be part of the team. I really think most inexperienced skinners will keep to themselves. If we see a problem, we'll be able to take care of it I'm sure.

Ideas, Ideas, Ideas... What'cha think about this design? Also look under my main banner. ;D Post here if you want to be part of the Mob. I need a head count so I can make a main banner for the new area. (Kinda like this one, if you guys like it, only with all the people who want to be involved.)

You can take my name off though. Although I may help out sometimes I really don't want any more people bugging me about making skins for them.
thanks mate.
