So, I'm not Mexican myself but I'm a little uncomfortable with anyone not Mexican doing those Dia de Los Muertos-style sugar skull designs.......I absolutely love designs that incorporate skulls but when you're going for sugar skulls it's cultural appropriation, and there are at least six submissions drawing on El Dia de Los Muertos.

I really like the design! In some ways it makes a change from the other plague stuff on the other hand it's not really suited to the plague theme.
I think it would look real cool modified into an accent!

The wonderful thing about the internet is it allows people to share and celebrate other cultures. If there is someone who is actually offended by someone using inspiration from their own culture, I'm sure they'll speak up.
It's important to keep a cross-cultural view in mind when on the internet, because many times different cultures share similarities and by telling someone not to use something from one culture, you may inadvertently be telling them you don't think it's ok to celebrate their own culture which shares those traits.
That said, there are so many beautiful submissions this holiday! I can't wait to see who wins and I wish everyone the best of luck! Stay creative, you awesome skin-makers you :)

You have the best mushroom based skin I've seen yet! I would love to have a copy regardless of if it wins or not :)

I just posted my own entry in the forum and I gotta say I'm pretty nervous that I did something wrong. Is it bad that I had a preview plague eye in my image? I've never done this before haha....
Here it is for reference

Should I have left the grey flat eye instead?

@Akihiko Dark Advent is a nice skin! :) Although if I may... Could you perhaps lighten the dark colors and their blends? It comes to a point where the line art is almost barely recognizeable, especially in the Ridgeback's mouth.
Though that may just be me. >.>
