Asking for some clarifications in regards to making skins

[Argon Pepper]

@JoeW
Apologies if I @ you out of nowhere, but I wanted to ask some questions about modded skins
Specifically to maybe clarify this point of the "What can I NOT mod?" section in "Modding Don't Starve and Don't Starve Together"
- "Mods intended to circumvent metagame entitlements (I.e. skins, item drops, DLC or product ownership)"

My questions are the following:

• is it allowed to make skins for official characters/belongings which are NOT a copy of already existing official skins?
  Example, an Iron Hulk inspired skin for WX-78 or a big ice cube skin for the icebox
• is it allowed to make completely indipendent modded characters that are loosely (visually) similar/inspired by official characters?
  Example, a brunette Wendy, or a robot character with similar facial expressions to WX-78
• is it allowed to make skins for those completely indipendent modded characters that are loosely (visually) similar/inspired by official skins?
  Example, there are not many ways to make a verdant skin for a robot, and pirates for swashbucklers can only vary so much between each other
• is it allowed to make modded items (and skins) that are (visually) similar/inspired by official items their skins?
  Example, a modded magic staff that like the spear, th fire and ice staff has a Nordic skin variant

Whatever the answers might be, wish you a good week. 😊
