I made a new skin. Placed it in classifieds-bodyshop.
Overthere I do not get any feedback, of course.
I like very much to know what you think of it, that is why I put it also in the Gallery Forum.
Let me know your comments on the third male skin I made
The hair I used in the picture is from VOID'S hair, you find it at VoidPit, Qoo, 187,180,31 I like this hair very much, specially with this skin.

I think you did a pretty fantastic job, the seams from the torso to the bottom seem to match up great. The muscle definition is pretty impressive too you did awesome with the uh.. hip line.. thingers? I'm not sure what you'd call them.. the only thing that threw me off were the eyebrows the shape doesnt seem right it might be because of the hair base eyebrow shape. But you got the feet and hands very well which I find impossible to do. Keep making more skins they get better and better each time, I'm jealous! But anywho I think the skins are really good

The eyebrows are very prominent. The first thing I noticed on the face. But other then that spectacular!

Really impressive job!
As a counterpoint to the previous comments, my first thought was that the eyebrows look much more realistic and less "Hollywood" than many skins, and much more like a guy I might see walking down the street in RL. A lot of men really do have prominent eyebrows just like this, especially if they are Hispanic, Greek, Italian, Middle Eastern, Eastern European... it's perfect!
You might experiment with raising the eyebrows up just a tiny bit, just to see how it changes the look, but personally I wouldn't change a thing.

Thank you all so much for your comments !
I worked about 4 weeks, every day, on the skin and in the end I always start to doubt if it is good enough.
Now I know. Makes me feel good and gives me self confidence again !
Could well be that I exaggerated the eyebrows. I tried not to immitate other great skins that is probably why I ended up like this (but you always get influenced by what others do, of course). I will try what Malia suggested.
I have a tendency making the shape of the face often looking melancholic (can't help it).
Perhaps I should try the shape of some other designer with my skin. Anybody has any suggestion ?
I think that the face the sl avatar mesh is the best bodypart because it has so many possibilities to look different. Often I am amazed to see how some people manage to give the face a very special expression. This is of course always a combination of shape and skin.

Fantastic work, Mac, especially the musculature. Some of the best I've seen in that style (exaggerated and idealized). Very impressive!
