Dinosaurs Improved skins

Your Feature Request / Idea
I know I'm beating a dead horse here but many of the skins for the dinosaurs in the game leave a lot to be desired. Many canon skins are missing, palettes are repeated ad nauseum, and in many dinosaurs, especially in Velociraptor, the skins themselves are incredibly bland. I propose a few solutions to this

1. Add canon skins: The film franchise has great skins so just implement then and sell then for $2.99.

2. Skin contests: Have people select skins and skin concepts, have the forum vote on them, and the winners get chosen to be put in the game. Great way to showcase talent

3. Steam Workshop skin market: Like the Thememaker's toolkit, let people add their own skins to the steam workshop. If you need, you can have a moderator so no one posts anything super inappropriate if that's a concern

Sorry for not acknowledging my brothers and sisters of the console persuasion.

I think customizable skins could be a thing, but it would be tricky. I notice that all of the skin options for dinosaurs are differently colored patterns. If they provide us with a custom skin option that would be cool but they would need to have these options ready and editable for console users.

It could be like:

Base color: Green
Belly color: Yellow
Pattern: Dark Green

And it could be saved in the custom skin gene of that dinosaur.

Custom skins could be pretty easy to implement. Each skin template gets a number assigned to each region, which is a color on a dino. What ever color you assight to each region shows up on the skin. For example, spino skin: region 1 body, region 2 red part of head and sail, region 3 blue part of sail, region 4 while accents on jaw, leg and sail. TWe adding colors to each region. The pallet we chose from could be unique to each dino with some overlap. Frontier can still drop new skins and also skin template to see what the community comes up with and show off the best designs on fb or ig.

Keep the steam workshop option, just because we console players cant create skins of our own, doesn't mean yall shouldn't have the option too. Id love to see what yall come up with

Personally that would cause so much crap dumped on Frontier if we didnt get the same game as PC
