Ad Mundo Exteriore,
Against my better instincts, I submitted my skins to winamp.com, and they just got published today. I only posted up my five best skins because of my bad experiences with picture skin discrimination.
::takes a deep breath:: The staff rated all of them as 2.5 stars, except for the Tima skin, which scraped by with a 3.
I don't know why I'm letting it bother me so much. The Winamp staff has their particular likes and dislikes, and they tend to slam anime skins. I don't entirely blame them, since half the anime skins there are horribly done. I thought I managed to stop caring after the deviantART critics, but it really feels unjust! The main reason for the low rating appears to be that I didn't skin the 2.91 elements. But it's galling to see a much shoddier skin receive 4 stars, simply because it was published before 2.91 was released.
Well, I've already planned to make the Spiral skin 2.91-compatible, and when, or rather, if I finish it, I'll try submitting again. But if they give me a low rating for one more stupid, nitpicking reason, I'm going to delete my work and stick to Have Faith and LJ as my release sites.
