At first I did not know if they were artifacts, either; I only decided that they were when I changed the lighting many times and they did not disappear.

I read something about what millighost said while researching before making this thread. At first I thought it was that, but when I tried the solutions provided in the threads, none of them worked.

Removing the bump got rid of most of them. There are still a few there. But what you said makes sense monkeycloud. Why would I want the same amount of bump up close that I would from far away? I should have turned it down anyways. Well, I never said that I was the smartest person alive.

I'll probably re-add some bump for the sake of consistency with the rest of the skin, but here was my result.

Thanks for all the help and patience, all.
