Hmm? But, why can't you use the skin you linked?

Well there are a few things that I need different.

- Id like a more orangy red instead of pruply red petals.
- The head petals need to be bigger.
- and it needs to look like more of a tropical orchid

Err, ask Nirvana? Besides, I think you're being kinda picky here, no one gonna remake an existing skin just to fix a few problems, unless you ask Nirvana to edit his own skin and add things. Oh, and head petals bigger - that's most likely a model thing, not something you can do on a texture.

Actually that is a skin thing since the reason why theyre so small is because theyre alphad out.
Anyway Ill just forget this and use whatver i can.

Hey, I´m back. I recolored the body of my original skin, added a few touches here and there and fixed every petal to fit with the requested concept (I think). If there´s anything else you want changed/added, just post here and I´ll fix it right away. I also made an icon because I felt like doing one.

I posted everything without compression for you to fix the quality and filesize as you please.

Hope you like it.

Ok, I made the shade of the petals more red. If I make them more red they´ll start to look too rose-ish for me, but if you don´t mind about that, I can fix the color once again.
I also made the petal tips a bit more sharper. The leaves in the head are as sharp as I can get with that resolution because, as you can see, the stretching is really noticeable in there. In the ingame view it wont be that bothersome though.
Lastly, I changed the color on the body and the eyes.

Tell me what you think.

Its red enough for my tastes atm. XD.

Just a slightly stronger more orange colour to the eyes

As for the skin tone, admitedly this time is not so nice.
Im quite hopeless at choosing colours so maybe you should suggest something?

Yeah, I had some problem choosing a skin tone before too. I´ll test a few options to see which one fits better.

The eyes will be an easy fix.

Ok, I tried a lot of different colors, but in the end the only one that didn´t looked weird was green. I chose to make the skin with a light desaturated green to break a bit the over saturation of the petals, but without taking away the face as a center of attention for the portrait.
The icon is in the zip, I didn´t posted the image because is the same as the previous ones recolored, there is no point in posting it over and over.
