The ultimate arbiter of which submitted new skins get included in the game is Compbatant, the game creator.

This is not a quick process, Compbatant has other things to do in real life apart from FT, just like the rest of us!

Not all submitted skins will be included in the game.

Thanks for posting here, I forgot to link this thread ;)

I made a guide of tips, too.
I've linked them in the first post.
Here's the link as well

This did not help. I just want an ogre skin that is a red. With orange hair with a gold club size 256:256. When can i buy it?

You cannot.
If it is not in the game, it is not available.
The only way to get it implemented is through compbatant. He decides what skins are added.

Please consider and if someone can help make matrix would be appreciated. It would almost be like forest and frost ogre but a fire ogre with fire based colors
While a color matrix may be able to create that color scheme, the size of a skin is not in the colors. It is a separate stat in the monster animation file.
This is correct.
However, the player approached me in game, saying he wanted a larger skin, like the Big Red Cyclop, but in the ogre/halfling style.
I suggested he use the color matrix to submit the skin, with the note of wanting the size addition.
compbatant is the only one who approves skins; and the size stat is a relative easy addition; he'll need to add the stat line anyway, so as he does it, the size addition is simple.
I believe the size of 256 is correct, but I may be mistaken. Been a while since I checked.
Sorry for the late reply, I forgot about this for a bit.

Anyway, I made some tips for making and submitting skins, under General Information. Check them out, whoever reads this post.

You have to extract the files from the zipped folder they download as. Once extracted, the monsters are in the assets/textures/units folder.
