Many of the skins i have seen are a lot alike or there blending and detail is not the best.
An example is since i dance a lot i see black shadows coming through the pale skin.
I have also seen where the skin does not move realistic when the body is moving.
I am looking for something which is very detailed in every aspect from the head to the toes
and not like every one else is wearing and that moves with the body but does not lack detail when moving.
What i would suggest before replying to this is that you have proofs with your current work that can be emailed to me and i highly suggest when doing so you write demo on it.
Please also list your current contracts your working on to get an idea of when you
would be able to be ready to accept said job if i chose to hire you as a contractor.
I am able to pay in us funds if allowed by second life or by L$ depending on cost and time of contract.
Having a contact phone number or having a type of instant messenger is a plus.

You may be expecting too much of the SL skin, particularly in terms of movement. Check demos at places like TheAbyss, Naughty, FNKY, Laqroki, Second Skin, Chip Midnight...those are some of the better skins around and should give you a good idea of how much detail is actually possible.
Also, remember that skin is just a set of static textures placed over the underlying shape mesh. Think about the way text or images printed on a flat balloon distort as you inflate it...something similar happens to skins, except they're laid over a much more complicated, polygon-based framework.
Oh, and the Second Life texture map is exclusive to SL, so outsourcing probably wouldn't be an option.

Can you use CGI with adobe to create one or are you limited to how far you can go with it?

Interesting thread!
I agree with Ann. SL is too limited.
When the avatar moves, things stretch and distort.
It also seems kind of impossible to get really clear finger detail on the skin.
