Please, I'm not nearly the equal of Nertea .....yet .Yes we are very lucky to have gotten such increbily professional material from Eldarion. He and Nertea are truly amongst the greatest skinners ever Even though I'm quite happy with my own skins too, their work is done 100% from scratch, and that is VERY admireable =)
And just a note: my skins are not 100% from scratch. I have yet to do a face from scratch (always use EA's faces or enhanced photos), I often use EA's hands/gloves and boots without editing them, and all my chainmail is pulled from CAH skins.
