::::: Ok, I have been toying with a male skin for quite a while. For some reason I never really felt like making one, but my (male) friends keep pushing me, never letting up. From time to time I work on it a bit, but never really confidently. For men there's an even higher standard set skinwise, so why try to compete? And I tell you, it IS harder to make a (decent) male skin.
Anyway, this is where I am at after on and off work for months, LOL. Have a look.

male skin in progress


The male template nose is driving me nuts, it keeps making the nostrils look like triangles and I haven't found a way around it. Though I think there is none since every other male skin has it. The lips and eyebrows don't offer a lot of variation possibilities and grr let's not even start about the chest warping. The male avatar shape is very unforgiving and very limiting, if you ask me. More so than the female one. The male body also needs way more detailing in regard to hair, veins, muscles. I truly needed some help there. In a way I can understand why male skins are usually more expensive than female skins. I also wonder why they never offer more eyebrow colors. Face it, if you're a blonde or light brown haired male, you're pretty much f*cked and forced to wear black hair like the masses or just decide not to care and look like a guy with a wig. Mine will definately have a dark AND light brow option. (see pics, left is dark, right is a lighter, brown brow)

Well, I have lots more work to do on this skin but I guess at some point it will be suitable for release. So PLEASE guys, men, dudes, stop twisting my arm! LOL
