U can't really qualify a skin by it's working time tbf. Seems like skinning a PCJ-body is way more complicated than a NRG-body Would love to have such a detailed metal for the NRG tho

and yes, Nrg skinning is harder than pcj skinning, the nrg parts are a pain in the ass.(no offence to PCJ skinners)
imo bikes are a representation of the person who made them. every skinner has their own style, and i would much rather be known as a guy who spends time on his bikes than a guy who does them in the quickest time possible.
IN MY OPINION:Slapping a bike together in the shortest time possible isn't an achievement or anything to be proud of, it just shows you're a lazy cunt tbh. I could throw a bike together in ten minutes however I would much rather spend a couple of hours making one bike that is exactly how I want it to be than create multiple mediocre bikes. Reaper didn't win Skinner of the Year by making bikes as quick as possible; he puts in a fuckload of effort and that's reflected in the bike's he produces. He is definitely one of the best skinner's to be on GTAS and is better than me by a longshot, if anything he makes me want to spend more time on projects.Personally, I think it's great that Promagic spends ages on his bikes. I'd rather new skinners have an understanding of the textures themselves instead of rushing it. Pretty much every great skinner spends a long period of time creating skins (Took Reaper 5hours for Challenger, I remember Feron saying he takes six, etc) and you can see that from the detail in their bikes, and that's why they are regarded as the best skinners. Sure, bike's that are thrown together quickly can look good (some of Haywires iirc), however it is easy to tell when someone's decided "fuck it lets slap a bike together" and when someone has actually took time and put effort making a skin.imo bikes are a representation of the person who made them. every skinner has their own style, and i would much rather be known as a guy who spends time on his bikes than a guy who does them in the quickest time possible.
I did not miss your point at all, I'm just saying that in most cases a bike that has had hours spent on it will look better than a quick job.
