[Arkeyla]

Okay, I finally got happy enough with a skin to be inspired to make it available to you all. There will be more! Can't say how often, as I have piles and piles of stuff on my plate, but I shall do my best to get them out semi-regularly until I have made one for every type of dye....

Bloodmarked Skin (Crimson)
I realised I hadn't used my newly downloaded spatter brushes in Photoshop yet, and thought that a skin would be a good place to play with them. Yes, the blood spots are symmetrical, but think of them as something like a tattoo instead. *grin* There are more on her shoulder blades and the back of her legs, but I was too lazy to do a rear view shot. *pokes tongue out* I'm quite proud of the way the dress came out, too! Comments welcome, as I can only get better in future skins.
Grecian Flower Skin (Rose)
A nice, feminine yet still cheeky skin - more simplistic that the previous one, but I still like the way it came out. Again was too lazy to do a rear view shot... sorry! Also with this one I tried to do a more 'enclosed' sort of shoe to match the girliness of the colour scheme. Also notice that she has a fringe! I haven't tried it with very many pieces of headwear, but as it is drawn onto the forehead of the face area, it should show up. Hopefully. Cross fingers!
Dragon Blue Skin (Royal Blue)
I felt like playing with stockings, then thought 'why not make more of the clothing see-through?' So this is what you get. All the 'bits' are covered, but there's a peekaboo factor that I think worked out really well. Again, played with using the forehead to draw a fringe on, and decided that it needed a tattoo. Hence, the 'dragon' part of the name I gave it.
Jungle Girl Skin (Brown)
Per request, I finished tweaking this one and am releasing it. Though I started with the brown dye skin from the Skins for Dummies pack, I ended up tweaking the skin tone and adding bits so I may as well have started from scratch! *grin* Decided to add the 'leg warmers' as well to balance out the furry skirt, and the forehead band cause I felt like it.
Jade Lady Skin (Slate)
She's on a roll today! Yet another skin. Again wanted to try a more 'shoe' like covering, and this is what happened. Rather than adding a fringe to this one, I decided to have a forehead jewel instead, just to see what happened. The arm bracelets took a while for me to be happy with their positioning, but I finally got it, and as usual the 'dress' covers everything but is still cheeky.
Natural Wrath Skin (Olive)
As promised, here's the ivy-twined skin! I quite like the way it came out. For me, it really blurs the line between wearing leaves and wearing clothes that look like leaves. But that's just my own thoughts. I tried to make the eyes look scary without being too over the top, and I think I succeeded. But again, that's just my opinion.
Enchantress Skin (Purple)
Something a little different - I tried sleeves! It was hard to try and make something that fitted with the world in purple, so I gave up and went outside the box. Bye-bye box! Not that any of my others really fit - I just tried (and failed) to do so with this one. Anyway, those gold medallion-type thingies? They're actually greek coins made into pendants! Not that you can get close enough to see that...
Sweet Sunrise Skin (Gold)
Another slightly girly one, with yet another style of dress and 'hair additions'. It might be a little bright for some people's taste, but I attempted to include enough gold hues and a touch of copper that it will look good with a lot of the game's armor etc. You will have to excuse the saccharine name - my brain was refusing to wake up enough to come up with anything better.
Dark Immortal Skin (Burgundy)
Okay, I know the tex file is written as 'burgendy', and it has to be that way to work, but I just can't bring myself to ignore proper spelling! (Check an online dictionary, You'll see.) Anyway, with the suggestion to peep at the new mastery names for that particular mod, I was struck my a vampire combination called 'Immortal'. So, I went with this. I got the boots and long arm pieces idea from Alejo's Lady Death skin - hopefully that's okay to pinch! If not, I'll take it down.
Harem Dancer Skin (Light Blue)
Originally used this outfit for another version of my character Ariadne, known as Pusscat if you dare (cause she's a leopard girl), but loved it so much I wanted to release it in a different form! So, human in full, but same outfit with a few bits added. The white parts are fringing, and I just couldn't get the image of a dancer out of my head. Looks like I can still come up with proper names after all!
