How to Build These Skins

For dark/armored skins: start with a near-black base (#1a1a1a), then add metal highlights (#8a9ba8) and accent colors. For creature skins: research the animal's actual coloring, then stylize it. Use the Mirror Mode in MC Skin Editor so both arms and legs are identical without double the work.
