Is it just me or has anyone else ever been asked to design a skin based on some whacked out image that has been sent to you by a downloader of one of your skins?

My top 3 wierdo requests for skins are as follows......

1) An edited photo of Jeri Ryan, complete with drawn on boobs
2) A "amateur posed" photo of some guy in Alaska's wife
3) "make a skin based on my tatto", image quality so dark that it could have been anything.

Needless to say none of the above mentioned got made LOL

Anyone else get these?, or do the oddballs just gravitate to me naturally?

By the way , all images mentioned are available by request if anyone needs a chuckle, I recommend the Jeri one :D

Back to the day job :)

Well, I'm sure you can guess pretty easily the pics I get in my mailbox from hormonal boys. Some even write me as tho I am or represent the woman (most often JM) on the skin ... not sure if that's a compliment er not. :rolleyes:

i once got some guy asking me to make a skin of his girlfriends legs! i was sooo bored at the time i actually did it!

i also had some girl mail me for a skin with a pic of fred durst and his dog on it, i think thats kinda wierd

and one girl that i know wen she asked if i'd make her a winamp skin actually came out with something trippy! so i asked wat sort of thing and thats all she'd say something trippy! nows thats kinda wierd

I made this skin called "Liquid Paradise". Some guy approached me on these forums, asked me "hey If you've got a paradise version, how about a hell version, you could cal it "molten hell"!" :p:D:D;) I think that was kinda weird

not all that weird
 
I had a guy ask me to make a nonochrome version of one of my skins, because he runs his desktop in all monochrome colors....
I haven't done it yet...but I'm glad I read this thread because it's reminded me...

Hehe...I'm glad the oddballs all gravitate to you guys! The only things I've been asked was if I had desktop icons that matched one of my skins, and a few skin requests (but they weren't weird). :D

No wierd emails

But once Drop_Point told me in a post "From looking at all your skins I see you like cultures- maybe you should do an Egyptian Skin"

mmmkay....
