Of all the ones I have - bought or free - I like Eowyn's conversions of Staale's P4 textures the most. Very usable, they don't impose too much of themselves on Victoria, which leaves you free to play around with body and face shaping. For example, the "Nameless" texture, good though it is, is far too striking (IMO) and makes it difficult to make Victoria look like anything else when using it. I believe a good texture should combine simple colour, flaws and basic skin texture, without overdoing the character aspect. I think it's a good idea to shape a character without a texture first, then add in the skin after. Further to this, I'm currently playing around with the idea of generic skin textures and tones, with minimal shaping and shading, to allow me to create hundreds of different looks easily.
