I could write an essay on how the MCRP community fundamentally screws over pixel skin artists
I hate sitting in like 4 different corners and feeling like NO ONE actually cares about my work
#once again thank you aphmau for normalizing stupid techniques within mcrp production#this is mostly about the overwhelming preference for HD skins within mcrp / mctv communities#and the assumption that pixel skins are 'lesser' to HD skins or only good for WIPs for HD later#but it does also apply to the fact that mcyt skin artist communites can barely get their own work recognized even when a cc wears it#people looooooveee block game but hate the art communities that keeps it going!#dont even get me started on the disrespect modders get when people offer to pay scammy forks for faster updates than the modmaker themself#im just tired of people saying that my 128x skins are overrated when theyre complimenting flat-shaded shaky-lineart HD skins#with a 64x hair base probably taken from planetminecraft#like the doublestandard is CRAAAAZZYYYY#its a catch 22 of the HD asset set monopoly default drives off potential new pixel skin artists from the mcrp/mctv community#but those skin artists cant find a place thats not being walked over in the broader mcyt community that needs skins way less often than mcrp#for the record this is from someone active in hermitcraft/empires/qsmp and was origins mcrp backstage and still helps with mcrp projects#and who makes both 64x64 and 128x128 skins and whos made HD skins in the past#hc/empires/qsmp fanbases not the actual backstage of those#this isnt brought about anything in particular except being in 2 mcrp production servers that only promote HD skins#and some of my personal experiences#becca rambles#minecraft skins#mcrp#mcyt#mctv
