Mike, you might want to do a search on the term Nina. Unfortunately the DNN Forums search doesn't really work that well. I tried a search on skin tutorials and nothing came back. But I know that Nina talks about some tutorials in some of her replies on the forums.

She is also at www.xd.com.au and www.dnnskins.com and www.skincovered.com.

You can do a Google search on DNN Skin tutorials and get some good links to www.dnncreative.com and others.

But I have to say that you can get some really nice skins for less than $75 at Snowcovered and elsewhere. I have purchased thousands of dollars in public and custom skins and the developers nowadays are really putting out some good work for a fair price.

Some of my favorite skinners include:

Tyler Fawcett - www.tfdnn.com and winner of the first DNN skinning contest.

Tracy Wittenkeller - www.t-worx.com

Brian and Evan at http://www.nukeville.com/

http://www.dnnart.net

Jared at http://www.black-pond.com/Default.aspx?alias=www.black-pond.com/skins

Unless you really just want to learn DNN skinning and plan to use it to create multiple skins, I just would not bother. Get a packaged skin and if needed manipulate it to meet your needs. That is just my opinion.

Hi Mike,

YEP,,, Nina has some good videos at this link for you.

She also has quite a few free skins you can learn from.  Also, Tyler Faucett ( http://www.tfdnn.com/Free/Tranquility/tabid/73/Default.aspx ) has a really neat free skin I have used and modified very successfully.

Once you get a handle on this it actually gets pretty easy.
