For starters, this is my first post *evar*!
So hopefully this will work. And be useful/helpful. ^.^
For anyone who decides to do this with Photoshop (which is interesting to do at such a ridiculous tiny size), here's the .PSD file I set up, with each individual body-part in a separate, properly-labeled layer, all which are grouped in major body regions.
The file type was saved in CS4, in case there's any issue in compatibility with older versions that I probably won't be able to solve. xD
If you're adding a hat to it (utilizing the "hat template" that I have in there) don't forget to remove/hide the "hat template" layer before exporting the finished file or you'll have a bonus head "floating" around your normal one!
As far as importing this file into anything other than Photoshop, I am unsure of how to do so. So if anyone with more knowledge/experience with that would care to post how to or to just go ahead and do so, feel free. :wink.gif:
Oh, and in case anyone has already done this somewhere else that I don't know about/haven't read about (because I'm a slacker in that regard), then dammit! I spent a good.... not a whole lot of time doing this. xD But! Regardless, here it is.
Two hours later, I finish my first very own custom skin (from scratch)! Used this template, making sure it works properly (which it does beautifully):
