Well, this was proven useful for skinning newbies :3

One random note, my personal skin was made by myself but with the exception of couple of gameplay elements taken from other skins, like score-n from Cookiezi skin, scoreentry-n from your Honoka skin, and some others. The interface, ranking panel, mod icons and some others were made by me.

That's the thing to know about my personal skinning experience :3

Although it is allowed, I wouldn't recommend it, as it doesn't get as much attention as full skins do
