Thank you all. I prefer the textured full bodies too. They are more realistic. They are harder for me to do, but easier to clothe. I am learning more as I go along. All but one are just paint blended.
The one that is textured is by Nige. I couln't match her to a texture and Nige did all but the photo shoot. I have some future fullbod skins to post but am reworking them to a textured bod. I save all my trys and suceses for future heads. Some times I get lucky and am able to match head to body with no paint blending required.
Like Nige says, he is sure that some of the fasion desiners have borowed some of our graphic artists clothing designs.
It is so cool to peak at my wifes soap operas and seeing an actress wearing an outfit that someone here made. It is a really good feeling when I walk in to the living room and say to her "Hey, I desined that outfit!"[
