Hey guys! Here it is, what you've always been waiting for - a nice, easy-to-use, convenient collection of all your best skinning guides - here in one place!

Brought to you by PMC's own Skinning Mentor Program!

*Work In Progress*

For those of you who have skinning tutorials and guides, I encourage you to post them here so that they may be added! You will all be credited! Please specify whether the guide is Beginner Level, Intermediate Level, or Difficult Level based on the difficulty of the skills and understanding of skinning required to learn the most from the guide!

Be sure to add a short description of your guide or tutorial, no more than a couple sentences.

Guides will be listed according to author's name, alphabetically. (Well, the official one will be :P -soup)
Adhere to me!

I'd say beginner/intermediate would be an appropriate category for that. I'll let The_Soup handle thread editing though.

It would defiantly be beginner, very well done though.

What's the best way to record me making a skin. I think a tutorial like that is easiest. And similarly, what's the best way of making a tut?
