Nothing alien about those skins i mean really when you think about it.
there are almost no skins with any real uniqueness or artwork for that matter, its mostly just a few colors in various ways..

No real artwork, no designs, the alienware stuff is at the top, but they are not alien at all, just black and white and some nice blue effects.
But nothing truly designed, basically just changed colors, it sucks

What are you calling "alien"? An alien head in the start panel is not enough? Are you looking for Giger-esque type? What about Colony? https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=2983&LibID=1

You were given a boat load of alien skins, so if you want something different, please be more specific.

But he's referring to some of the best skinners (DavidK, DanilloOc, Pixtudio and The Skins Factory). My hackles are up.

People are trying to assist you and this is how you respond. Have fun searching on your own. With an attitude like that why should anyone offer you help.

I did search on my own, hence the question. My opinion stands. Almost every winxp skin/shell customization is pretty much designless, with a few simple patterns and colors to try to diversify them from eachother.
If i come asking for something and saying that i have looked around but that i havent found anything special, then why take it as an offence?
Yes i am looking for something giger-esque, something with a bit of deep design to it.
I cant see how anyone can call a round-shaded grey taskbar and a few screw-like scrollbars alien. Thats just my point, that aint what im looking for, thats just like any other skin. Meh, wont find what im looking for anyway, not until the shell community start doing some real original work as the winamp skin community has for the past 5 years

To say what you see is not what you're looking for is one thing.
To say:
there are almost no skins with any real uniqueness or artwork for that matter, its mostly just a few colors in various ways..
just because they are not what you are looking for, just indicates how much you resemble Phoon's Av. (no offense Phoon).

I'd say you have 3 options. Take your pick: Link

Do not say it sucks! You have no idea what it takes to do something like that! If it's not what you are looking for , then say thanks but no thanks!

How about this.....Make your own skin...then post it here....then we can bash your skin!!!
Sounds fair to me...
