Be sure to internalize the Bitmaps. (Use the Uberbitmap tool.) Which map is this going over? =D

Take your time, focus on the small details, and don't be satesfied with crappy textures. Make sure it looks good enough that you don't over-notice anything. No skin should look out of place. It should all blend.

Yes, and stick to a theme. I learned that from my first skin.

No fruity colors, unless you are making a wonderland skin.. lol.... Make it feel as if you're playing a new map. Or take something classic and make it your map like that N64 skin.
