Seeking Free Male Skins (Copy/Transfer Perms)

I'm looking for some existing free male skins (with copy/transfer) perms for NCI and for some Avatars we are making both for NCI and for a client's OI. I want to find skins that both look nice and are true freebies (i.e., not stolen and relased into the wild.)

It would be nice to have more than one race of skins, as well. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

They have some free skins across the street from me at the Free Dove in Gallii sim.

Your best bet is to look up 'freebies' in search....but to be honest the assortment of male skins in SL is pretty slim compared to female....especially freebies. You're not going to find a huge variety with those kinds of permissions, honestly.

You'd have to assemble them yourself, but Eloh Eliot of Another Shop has the PSDs for a male version of her skins here:

Oh, ain't it the truth! This thread somehow led me to some kind of "Skin Fair" at a sim called "Vanity Universe" where there are lots and lots of skin designers showing their wares. And for a guy, it's a sad, sad selection. Probably the best male skin designer, Bakuzelas Khan, left SL a long time ago, and the original textures went with him. Worth a look now, maybe, is Fleur (they do have a freebie skin for newbies that's not bad, but of course it's no-transfer--and they don't even show a male skin at the "Fair";), and Muism: apparently uniquely among male skin designers, able to actually locate the nipples so they can offer a tintable skin. (I had one skin designer "explain" to me how detailed skins couldn't have mod perms; I discretely TP'd the hell out of her store, leaving to someone more patient the task of explaining how to draw and shade the alpha channel.)

Otherwise... I mean, once you've seen one greasy six-pack, you've sorta seen them all.

Oh, and: what's the deal with toes, anyway? I tried a few demos, and lots of new skins seem to have no toes (nor fingernails) at all anymore. Have skin designers just given up, waiting for CCTV's sculpties to make skin toes obsolete?

Thank you Ann--that's exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for.

I will check out the Free Dove again. I've not been through there in several months. Thanks.

I know--that's why I asked the question here. I was hoping the combined expertise of the forums might come up with something beyond what we've been able to find for NCI.
