I love how much the MCC Rising participants love MCC. If this is the first MCC post of mine you’ve seen, hi! Usually I make CaptainSparklez team skins for the canon MCCs (see here for the latest, the MCC17 Aqua Axolotls), though I have made other teams on very rare occasions (see MCC16 Sapphire Simmers). This is one such occasion. Feel free to share this, just tag this post so that it links back to me. Thank you! Ok, more below the cut.
I’m using my reddit username as the signature, don’t worry I’m not stealing from anyone.
You know, I was pretty sure I wasn’t going make MCC Rising skins. I thought, surely there’s no way I’ll find a team I like so much I’ll want to make skins for them. So I was wrong. I actually found the Red Rabbits through KingOfArchers (whom I picked from the announcement as my MCCR pov). I do like all of them, though. No, I did not watch all of Yoshinom’s PK Warrior streams. But I did watch a few hours of them!
Yoshinom loved the Aqua Axolotls cute hats (and I agree, they were adorable). So I thought his team should get cute rabbits. It took a little fiddling but I think I managed to make a pretty cute rabbit design. They’re wearing crowns because I wanted KingOfArchers to still be wearing a crown. So now they all have crowns!
The awkward angle on the photo this time comes from me trying to make it more visible. I promise they are very cute on the actual skins. And then of course I had to pair them with cute hoodies. And yes, I promise my standard mascot is on the back. Bigger this time because it looks better. Oh and they all have the Technoblade cancer support ribbons.
Alright, now for the individual breakdowns.
Starting with Yoshinom. He’s got his kerchief still, but other than that, I pretty much took apart his entire skin. Well, his boots and belt are based upon what was already there. But in red. Lots of red. The stripes aren’t really a reference to anything but they look cool. Oh and he’s got a bigger rabbit hat because it fits his skin (more on that later though).
Next up, KingOfArchers, who specified that she should not look like anime Technoblade. I hope this works as not anime Technoblade? I had to cut her hair shorter to fit the rabbit. Also the fur trim (which is now red) is a bit shorter. I’m really glad the arm cuffs look the same as her regular skin though, I really wanted to capture that part of her look.
Mejoraas’ skin is very cool, but also a pain to work with. I wanted the fragments to fit the clothing, so that meant a ton more work for me. I don’t have the location on the 3d model memorized to the 2d map, so figuring out which parts needed to be copied over to the fragments was a pain. Also. Shortening that mask while still making it read as the same mask? That was hard too. Which is why Mejoraas and Nicacolas both have shortened hats. Fun fact, though, the checkers on the sleeves is meant to evoke Mejoraas’ regular skin.
And finally, Nicacolas, who’s name I can never write correctly first try. First of all, had to keep the L’manberg flag. I don’t watch dream smp but even I know that’s a truly important part of the skin. Also, like usual, I flipped the tail down so that I could put the rabbit on the back. Also kept the scarf because that’s an integral part of the skin. Finally, the pants is designed to be a jumpsuit tied at the waist because of Nicacolas’ aviator theme. Since I removed the very cute bomber jacket and all.
Here’s all the skins in case you want them yourself.
