Okay, this probably sounds really dumb but um... I can't make a custom skin...

I know I messed up once, I was doing it on a phone and I hit the wrong button... And even before that a couldn't get the page were you actually paint it to come up...

So, yeah. Help please?

So you've got a skin ready to upload, but you can't access the Upload Custom Skins page? Or is it an issue with creating (painting) a skin? Sorry, I'm a bit unsure from your description...

Problem with actually painting it. It won't let me upload it, and the one time I did it didn't let me paint it. It was just the grey base pic.

And I may have messed up once and now I can't even get to the create skin page... :C

There's a difference between painting and uploading.

To paint a skin image, you need some kind of art software, like Photoshop or FireAlpaca. It's best to do this on a computer... but there are some free apps for phones as well, like Medibang Paint Pro (I tried it once, it's safe). When the drawing is finished, you save the image as a .png file.

(you don't actually need to draw digitally - you could draw a gryphon or something on paper, take a photo or scan it, and then erase the white background so it's transparent. This will still require some art software. If that's too difficult, you could send the image to me or another arty person and we could "cut out" the background for you.)

Then you go to the BK custom skin page, that's where you choose the image from your computer/phone's files, and enter the details for the skin. Same as uploading art to Imgur or DeviantArt etc, if you're familiar with those.

Does that help a bit? :)

... oh, or is it a problem downloading and editing the official bases from that page? You need art software on your computer/phone, to open and paint over those images. The BK website itself does not have painting functions. It just links you to the images so you can download them to your device.

If it's tricky to edit the bases digitally, I guess you could try copying the beast outlines onto paper, and colouring them that way.

That I'd Great advice. But when I go the the "Upload new custom skin tab under pets red letters show up saying I'm not allowed to do it. I'm like what the???

But could I just send you a picture of one of my drawings and you make it? I don't want any money or anything I just want people to likey art enough to use it on their pet.

If you see a message that you're not allowed to upload custom skins, this means that you were banned from submitting because of copyright violation. Players aren't allowed to submit any artworks except their own. This is also why you can't send your skin to someone else and ask them to upload it from their account.
