Hi Russell are you going to start doing Skins again soon, would love to have my own racing skin. Doesn't need to be flash!

Cheers

The "Closed for Maintenance" was truly going to be a short break where I mixed things up a bit. I created a questionaire that applicants were going to fill out that asked all the questions I usually ask (what car, what colors are you thinking, do you have design ideas or are you needing me to come up with something) as well as some "test" questions to make sure the applicant understands that I might decide to simply not fill their request (due to time restraints, or due to lack of interest in making their particular idea come to life, etc.).

What I had realized from the 30 or so skins I had made for various people was that I was starting to get in a rutt and a number of the more recent requests were for fairly tame skin ideas that I would inevitably throw together in an hour or so. I started to not even be able to tell them apart!

But I have to be honest... this endeavor was mostly an outlet for my creative juices and in the last two or three months, my professional life has required all of those juices and more as of late, so I'm quite enjoying the "time off". 

There may be a time where I start making skins for others again, but for now I'm sticking to making maybe one or two for my own personal use per season.

Thanks for the interest, but for the time being, Russell Sobie's Skin Garage is on extended hiatus. Hope you understand! 

I highly recommend dipping your toes into making your own skins. If your idea doesn't need to be flashy, you can get something simple up with your favorite colors in just a few minutes using free software like GIMP.
