We've been doing some Minecraft skin editing yesterday and today, and it's going better than it has before. We found a mod for adding extra body parts called Ears by @unascribed (thanks to a post by @twilight-sparkle) which really broke through our sticking point with the baseline skin functionality.
It's been interesting learning how to make things work. It's very cartoony in a way, you pick the features you want to emphasise and exaggerate them to make them readable at low pixel density. These two's biggest issue now is the difficulty making readable points, but that's something we can work around.
We might attempt some more advanced shading in the future, but this is a completely usable skin. The mask shape was kinda hard to make work, but the snout definitely helps a bit.
I added my wings to my Minecraft skin, since I didn't have them when Kharaya-do and Luna made it. Still haven't actually played with them properly (we did some testing to make sure they work1).

There were actually a couple of bugs that we should verify haven't been patched, then report.
