I don't know if many people have noticed, but I haven't exactly been very active around WinCust over the past few months. I certainly haven't submitted any new skins, and I found my participation in the message boards falling off to such a point that I went a few weeks without even clicking on my WinCust shortcut.

Although the intention has been there to create more skins, the motivation seems to have left me. Both of my current 'in-progress' skins, dinks DX and 8-ball, are in a partial state of completion, but I just haven't been that bothered about getting them finished. I know there are some people who were looking forward to both of these skins, and I feel I should apologise for building expectations for their eventual release. I'm sorry to those people, but the truth is these skins will probably never be finished, let alone released.

The fact is that I've lost my skinning mojo. I have these two great looking skins sitting in my head, but the task of building them to the standards I've set for myself previously just seems too big for me to tackle these days. I think my attention span has probably diminished recently, to the point where I'm constantly trying to do too many things at once, and not actually ending up doing any of them.

So I think it's time I stopped kidding myself, and hung up my skinning shoes for the forseeable future.

Thanks to all those people who supported both me and my work over the past couple of years. This community is one of the most rewarding ones I've ever known online, and as a result I doubt I'll ever really stop dropping by to look at the new submissions, or to read the latest madness on these boards.

For those that also use DeviantArt, you'll probably see more of me there. I'm starting to get the photography bug, and let's face it, photography takes a lot less time and effort than creating skins!

Thanks again folks, and I'll see you around.
