Id suggest you try your best with skinning, i dont really know anything about skinning my self. A few tips atleast:
1: try to make the whole skin look atleast about 80% redone, take a peak from this skin:
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/skins-552/brownbear-61300/?prev=search%3Dbear%26d%3Dlist%26r%3D20 . thats a complete re-done of the skin, and it has earned 5/5 rating.
2: when making it, i suggest that you check for if there already is a skin about what you had in might
3: also remember to make it look even abit natural.
4: read tutorials & rules before you post something. tutorials could be useful while rules can tell you if its good enough, the final decision is the moderator/admins tho.
I must admit that you atleast tried, so i gave you 2/5.
Oh and heres some rep to keep you going :)
