Look in the skins directory in your Continuum active directory, it should contain these files:

Ceinwyn.skn - Ceinwyn skin;
Pipe Dreams.skn - Pipe Dreams skin;
makeskin.exe - The makeskin tool, use this to generate skins; and
skins.txt - Skin creating, the documentation.

Read skins.txt, it explains you how to make a skin by using an image editor (like those Purge+ posted about) and makeskin.exe.

MS Paint would be something to start with to figure everything out, also it's easier if you don't know how to deal with the more advanced image editors.

Note that a SKN file is simply a concatenation of a BMP and a TXT file. That's all makeskin.exe does.

BMP first, so you can associate BMP with your image viewer/editor and it will load normally.
