It’s been a while, but I’m glad to announce the next skinners which have been promoted to the rank of Master here on WinCustomize.  Congrats goes to ChaNinja and APB.  Over the past couple of months, we have had a lot of discussions regarding WinCustomize Masters, and we have a nice list compiled and after hours of voting and discussions these two were voted for as Masters.  Both are long time WC members and are very talented artists.   Please give them a big congratulations for their new ranks.

Promotions on WinCustomize might be unknown to some, but we have a system where members can achieve ranks from Apprentice all they way up Master.  Master skinners are entitled to sell their works on WinCustomize, and traditionally took a long time and work to achieve this rank.  Every month our team of moderators nominate users for promotion, and are discussed and voted on.  Members are picked on various aspects such as their skin submissions, participation in the community, among other things.  But ultimately, what it comes down to, especially for Master skinners, is the graphic and skinning abilities. Talent is what will drive skinning to the next level, and that is what we take notice of above all else. 

We are looking for the next up and coming skinners and artists to rise the ranks of WinCustomize.  2009 is going to be a phenomenal year for skinning, and lets make it happen together!
