Celebrity Skin: who would you like to see? [Archive]

I'm looking for some practice in skinning. I'd like to make a celebrity skin (as in a skin featuring a band, actress, actor, model, musician, movie characters, tv characters and other such homo sapiens) but I'd like to find one with a broad audience.

Here are some I will not make:
[list=1]
Korn
Slipknot
Britney Spears, Mandy Moore, Christina Aguilera
nudity (don't even bother asking)
[/list=1]

Yet-to-be-published skins I've already made:
[list=1]
Joaquin Phoenix
Princess Leia of Star Wars
Titanic (the movie)
Gillian Anderson of the X-Files
[/list=1]

This is your chance to get a skin you've been wanting someone to make.

:confused: I may be in for a world of hurt here, but I'm taking my chances. :confused:

You want a skin of the first person, a black man, to die in the American Revolutionary War? How did you come up with something so perfectly popular and timely?

the entire African-American population, plus the American history buff faction - I'd call that a pretty broad range of popular appeal. :D You did ask. :D

Winona Ryder.
Or John Zorn (he is maybe not very well known, but I think he deserves his own skin)

:rolleyes: Yeah, I need practice using a skinner program. It is very difficult... :rolleyes:

I'm taking notes of the suggestions so far. Phil Hartman could be interesting.

Nini: I attached the skin of Princess Leia. The preview is a little messed up, but the skin is fine.

OMG :D you gotta love those eq sliers on that princess leiga skin.

I think you're safe with 90% of the celebrities out there - just pick one - you'll get plenty of downloads

although I don't think I'd mind seeing a B&B skin too :D just so long as its appropriate and not just a pic plastered across the screen

Thanks! :D

B&B could open some creative avenues. I'm gonna look into it. Keep the suggestions coming. I'm going to keep a list and make these if I run out of subjects for skins.

The point is, I could just pick one, but I'd rather pick one that other people want to see and will appreciate.

Your Leia skin looks great for me :D

Unfortunately the link didn't work, usual yahoo !%$*** , "the page is not available", blah blah. I suppose yahoo doesn't allow any external links, not only for pics :weird:

I tried searchin, had no luck (the search function is drunk again), can you post the wianmp.com link please? :)

Another suggestion: What about Alanis Morissette, Sinead O'Connor or Tori Amos? :D

Oooooooor...Tom Cruise? :D :D :D :)

:( Yahoo...grrrr

Here are links I know will work.

With the EQ (http://www.winamp.com/skins/reviews.jhtml?rOT=C&rOI=95660)
Without the EQ (http://www.winamp.com/skins/reviews.jhtml?rOT=C&rOI=95664)

They're not published yet, so there's no :winamp: address, so far as I know. Is there one?

LMAO @ "Spock it to me"

These are great ideas. Keifer Sutherland is proving to be difficult so far as images, and most of your suggestions either have no skins made already or are just skinner skins. That's exactly what I'm asking for! :)

Doggy Dog: Thanks for saying my skin is great :) That's my first review for any of my skins!

My skin will be based on that Spock (Leonard Nimoy) record you posted. Spock with those crazy lettering designs. That'll make some awesome buttons. I found some images of him playing an instrument, with a cat, and well... looking serious like Spock always did.

Next will be B&B or Kiefer Sutherland (depending on the pic available).

I knew I could count on fellow skinners to come up with unusual ideas. See? I never would have come up with some of these.
