- Want to paint skins like ? Check out her article, Thoughts on Skintones, at her site Furiae. You'll find it under Gallery - Tutorials there. She's been drawing amazing fantasy art for years now, though, and you'll need a graphics tablet to truly do it well, but there ya go.
- There's also some tips on creating new skin textures, and painting skins in this thread.
Where to get textures for skintones:
- 3d.sk - By far the best, this site offers thousands of high-resolution photos of all sorts of people, in various states of undress (so yes, there is non-sexual artistic nudity there, you are warned). You do have to pay for a membership, but the prices are incredibly reasonable, the service is great, and the quality and range of pics is just not available elsewhere at any price. If you're serious about creating an all-new photoskinned skintone, pick up a month or two of membership here.
- Skins.be - Celebrity and model wallpapers, mostly female. Can be useful here and there.
- Fashion Spot - This particular post on the Fashion Spot forums links lots of great, high-res pics of female model faces, with and without makeup. And in general, there are tons of pics threads on there, of specific models and celebrities, types of makeup, and just about anything you can imagine. It can be a lot of fun to explore.
- Backgrounds Archive - Check out the celebrities sections, male and female, and people. Lots of nice, big pics that may be useful in skinning.
