Comments welcome, as I can only get better in future skins.

Actually, this is a very well-finished work. The dress is very beautiful, the detail of the legs and arms classy, overall a master piece work. I like it most for warriors, even though an earth mastery sorceress wouldn't be out of the question with this one, too.

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!

A very 'girly' skin. Really beautiful. She looks more of a woman and less a warrior with this one - I believe the fringe to make most of the trick. A very nice touch giving her those matching shoes. I would expect her to be one of the NPCs asking for help It's actually a nice idea, come to think of it... Anyway,I went with her through the first act of normal difficulty without any armor, because I couldn't stand spoiling her by using anything...

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.

Very beautiful skin. This one is a warrior and no mistake about it! A nice effect adding the blue part on the end of the stockings matching the skirt. If the female char could talk out of the game to you, I think she would send you a kiss You give a lot of thought to detail, Arkeyla - it shows on small things, like the transparent black tissue on the breasts. It really adds to the whole effect. I loved that skin.

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.

I fell in love with that skin when you posted it the first time (without releasing it). Now it's even better. I loved the leg-warmers. The only thing that I could comment about this skin is the eyes - she could have more agressive ones (like the Bloodmarked skin - otherwise it's fine

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.

Again, the inovation and imagination shown on this skin show your qualities, Arkeyla. I liked specifically the substitution of the ever-present skirt (and variations) by a small toga-dress All in all, your work brought a refreshing feeling to the skin area. Thanks for all the efforts!

Now, since you referred that maybe you will do some more skins, and since they are very much thematic, I would like to tell you of my idea:

A "nature" based skin, which would be suited to play for people that use the "Nature" class of TQIT. Something like already exists for the Elf (the nature class pet), but translated to the female player. This would be pefect for a nature-class based female player

I have some problem in skin.
Body has base skin's belt signs in "Detail Level:High".
Would you solve this problem?
I like this skins.
So I want to play with skin in High Quality.
If you couldn't solve it, I'll endurance play with signs.

[Arkeyla]

Tir - I'm not quite sure what you mean - could you explain a bit further, please?

lufe - wow! Thankyou for the comments, and it's quite funny how our brains were marching in the same direction... I was plotting a skin that appeared entwined with ivy!

Another skin added!

Wow, the "Natural Wrath" skin is just about perfect for "Amaranth," the ritualist I recently started.
Very nice job!

ok.
Original skin clothing belt.right?
In "Detail Level:High", your skins has relic of belt.
ah...like this.

[Arkeyla]

That's strange, as my display pictures on the first page were also taken with the detail level set to high, as well as the texture quality. I really have no idea what is causing that weird effect for you. Maybe someone else will be able to work it out and maybe suggest what to do if I need to fix anything, as I really have no idea.

Tir, go to TQMM on http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/tqmm/ and get Dodds Tribal. You'll now have a file called Dodds Tribal.zip. Extract it. You will have 2 files now: the original Dodds Tribal.zip and the extracted one, Dodds Tribal.tqm. Delete the Dodds Tribal.zip file and rename the Dodds Tribal.tqm to Dodds Tribal.zip. Inside this file, you will find a file called femalepcskirt01bmp.tex. Extract this file and replace it for your original femalepcskirt01bmp.tex file (use the same method you used before to change the standard skin to Arkeyla's skin, whatever that method was). You'll replace the oringal femalepcskirt01bmp.tex file, which creates the weird things that you see.

Enjoy
