Best skins and shape...

Some of the best skins I have found are from either Celestial Studios or Gala. They work really well with the shapes you can buy at Bodydoubles. Good Luck :)

shapes do have an effect, but remember that they are merely the mesh underneath the skin texture.

Some good places to look for skins:

X2
Skin Flicks
Celestial Studios
Designs by Shyone (or whatever she's calling it this month... DBS is where i got my own skin)

That's merely off the top of my head.... I recommend you do a search here using the keyword "skins", and you'll see many many threads discussing this topic where you can find more suggestions.

If you're still on the hunt for a shape check out our store Red Ruin. Our female shapes are awesome! =)

I love the RAC skins (Raspberry and Cow); great eyes too. Good male skins as well.

The best advice...

If you want to have a killer shape and find all the info you need regarding skin, hair, eyes, etc...contact Maddox DuPont, I have never seen such creativity in putting together avatars and a more warm person willing to help you find the look you want :)

My personal opinion...Naughty "Zoe" skin is fab. Might try Hybrid Skin at Nevermore as well.

Adam n Eve skins have alot of range also and different skins for different shapes what might look great on one doesnt always look great on another and the designer there tries to combat that , Digital Dragon Designs have some awesome ones too as do Nomine, Naughty , Insolence , Random, Ravenwear, Gala , Celestial City , Nyte n Day and so many others best suggestion I can make is go to classifieds type in SKIN and then spend a day running around from store to store and buying demos then go home get in a bikini and set the world to sunset and see how you go , if you hate it delete it and then when you finally find a handful you like call in reinforcements , I am a huge fan of the Pandora 2 skin at Adam n Eve and mainly becase of the back detailing as that is what we spend all our time looking at .

Good Luck :o) but remember even if you spend 100 L on demos it will be the best 100L spent as it will probably save you a fortune in the end and dont rush it even if in that one day you think you love one wait a day or two because you may look at it very differently the next

My girlfriend got both her shape and skin from Skin Flicks. I really like it and there are alot of different onse to choose from. The skins have excelant details and the shapes are killer.

You should just gather samples and choose what you like best.

I made my own shapes (wish I could make skins hehe)

use a variety of skins, and they all tend to look nice

too many to name (can not remember all the creator names)

I have thought about selling my shapes and include a notecard with info on how to get the complete look, such as skin creator and skin name, clothing creator and clothing name, shoes eye hair etc etc

and include landmarks to them all as well

here are a few pics of the shapes I made with different skins on them...

I'll agree with both of these... I have a lot of skins, I've tried on hundreds of demos, but my favorites are these two. Most of the time I wear Gala Phoenix skins, really beautiful work.

Check out Dyna Dillers shapes in world....they work with any skin and are full mod, very sexy shapes indeed!

Alot of the skin I have seen is too orange looking for me, I like detail and real looking with freckles here and there so I found that X2 is a favorite skin for me and I have tried every skin out there.
