There's a good reason why some of the most beautiful skins in SL are expensive... it's hard to make one. I've been designing clothes, building things, and scripting in SL for quite a long time, but there's no way I feel up to the challenge of making a skin. I save my money and buy the best. :p

That's not meant to discourage you from trying, though. You'll find some good tutorials listed in this recent thread .... . I can't vouch for any of them, but there are at least some choices to look at.

Also, don't overlook the very rich number of good low-cost (even free!) skins in SL. You don't always have to spend big bucks to get a nice skin. You DO have to look around a bit, but that's half the fun of shopping ...... :)

Try using the http://www.metaverseink.com link that I just gave you in the other thread and typing in "free skin." You'll find a nice long list of places to shop. For a start, you might want to visit The Free Dove at Gallii/113/53/32. I was there with a newbie the other day and noticed that they have some fairly nice free skins. As I said before, though, searching is half the fun of shopping. You never know what you'll find. .......

some shops send out skins for free, to get people to buy the rest of the makeup variants (beard variants for the guys).

pixeldolls and fishy strawberry come to mind. my wife just got a pretty nice skin from a group notice from there the other day.

would be my suggestion. You can also pick up copies in world at another. I'm a bit biased as Eloh and I share a shop.
