damn this is great... see what I miss out on when we have a baby?
To be honest my only real forray into Skinning was on the original Quake simply because I could. I was learning Photoshop at the time and working pretty heavily on print ads. It was a great way to practice technique at the same time as learning something new. Now I see the stuff coming out and I'm just amazed. It would take me a while to catch up to the point of making something that wasn't simply laughable, never mind do what you're doing. I think I'd probably personally draw the skin by hand, then scan it and fiddle with it, improving on the colours and textures... that's probably pretty low tech I know, but it'd be the easiest way I could think to get something out.
Anyhoo... great work!
