TrekkieGrrrl,

Thanks for letting me know. I thought it should work OK to use skin textures like that but was not sure. No, I do NOT plan to sell them, but I would like to make my own. Making a celebrity as you say can be hard. I have one I am working on and have seen others make some REALLY good ones from many different celebs that look very real. I plan to sculpt the head in another program, but need to make my own texture or maybe find one I have bought or could use that would be close match. I just wasn't sure if I could get the eyes or eye brows to look right though without making my own texture because I was told I could not. Also I was told that making your own texture was a must for a look alike model. As you say, you can't always get the photos you want but I was thinking as long as you got most of the face you can use photoshop to do the rest.

Can you suggest any good tutorials for making your own V4 skin textures using photoshop? I have never tried to make a custom skin texture before and thought there may be some good tutorials on it. Also, if I get the head done, I need a guide on how to make the rest of the body in photoshop to match the texture with the head part.

Thanks for the help.**
