Hi all.
Been working on this for an hour or so from scratch but me being a newb to all things skin'in i'm askin' for some help :)

It isnt brilliant but thats basically why im asking for help/pointers.

I also blured it afterwards as it looks abit to sharp in the above picture, Heres the pic:

tbh i think the attempt without the blurring looks more "real".
Anyway, What shall i do lads?..

Try not to give them emotions in their faces.

This reminds me of private-88's :D!!!!! Such good memories.

oh yes another blakc skin ! what happened to private-88 ?? was he banned and if he is banned why for ?

I knew someone would bloody bring that up!
Damn you mike! :)

Did you use the default skins as a base, then try to chance the hue/colour balance to get the skin tone? IMHO I feel that when you do that you end up with a tanned/muddy white guy.

Im not tryign to be sarcastic here, just trying to help out!

Plus I dont think we should mention a certian *cough* private-88 skins *cough* as we dont want this thread closed too.

Please just drop the 88 **** guys and give the lad some help.

For a first face skin mate i think they look pretty good, im no skinner so can't really give you anything other than encouragment lol

Keep up the good work mate, you'll be skinning like a pro in no time.

its very good but the face is a bit cartoony. try adding more shadows, and mabey making the eyes smaller.. and keep his facial expression down (unless of course you like it that way) but the facial expression hes got now, seems a bit comical. just give it that '1000 mile stare' look. like hes 'been in the **** for too long..'

yes.. those are quotes from full metal jacket :P

Hey not bad at all for your 1st time! Yeah, get rid of the emotions and add some shadows and add some more facial features like the thing ( don't know what its called ) between the nose and mouth, try to fix the lighting too :)

Filtrum i thiks its called, apparently if you were to stick a needle in any place on your body there would hurt the most. Personally i can think of worse places lol

Anyway, back on topic lol Looks good to me mate, just change the eyes a little cos they're kinda scaring me lol

I'll probally see you at the festival mate,

private-88 made a black skin for a german :D i think trhats why he was banned lol
i thought it was funny :p

anyways it doesnt look bad but hes got a weird expression and i think you should make his hands black too:p
