Tips#3 Merman
This is the third part of a series of articles on simple structure and points that you can refer to when creating your own skins 💪
You can download the actual skin at the bottom of the page if you like it 🙆️
Of course, you can also import this skin into Minecraft Skin Editor 2D and customize it 🤖.
Merman
This time, I tried to make a skin with the image of a merman.
It took longer than expected, but it was not well received by my family 🤷♀️. I'm not sure why I decided to make a merman skin, but I can't help it.
I don't think it's a bad idea, but I do feel that it's a lost cause.
Skin
The configuration of the skin looks like the following.
- To make it easier to understand, the over layer image hides the under layer, but as of now (July 16, 2021), the Minecraft Skin Editor 2D does not provide the ability to hide the under layer when editing the over layer 🙇♂️
HEAD
The over layer represents the dorsal and pectoral fins. The pectoral fin looks a little like a feather.

BODY/ARMS
This time, I wanted to express a muscular body, but I don't have enough skills 😭.
I tried to draw the shadows using colors that were quite close to the base color, but I got the impression that it was more difficult than I thought.
However, I feel that the use of the lower part of the body as pants was quite good. I'm sure this technique can be applied.

legs
I imagined a pair of pants with horizontal lines, like an adidas jersey.
And the boots.
The overall image is that of a professional wrestler, but again, the overall concept is uneven.
