First outfit in a series by Team Advent over at Acheron's Spawn 2 Roleplaying Server :)
The outfits for the males were a bit lacking in the barbarian/shirtless department so I started working on this. It's a modification of one of the barbarian models in the game data with some retexturing and additions to the mesh.
Known Issues : Some light stretching around the arms and very mild clipping here and there. Anyone's free to modify and improve it. Not every animation tested yet.

Thank you very much for this contribution! _________________________ "That is not dead which can eternal lie and with strange aeons even death may die".
Will do and thanks for the suggestion for skin tone, I've been tweaking that but couldn't find a tone I was comfortable with :) Actually my main concern, if anyone out there would like to provide some assistance, is with the normal mapping..I'm currently using a plugin to create normal maps from greyscale bump maps but they come out too either too blurry or too jagged. I'm wondering what other artists' techniques might be, or is the only way for a sure fire high quality normal map being to render it out from a high poly mesh?

Ran the model through it's paces in a test mod.
1. There's some clipping issues with the front and the back of the kilt when the character walks or runs.
2. The base skin tone is coming out too dark compared to the PC head colors. Might want to base the middle flesh tone around RGB(247,212,190).
Anyhow, hope you keep improving this model. We really need more armor artists producing gear for the men in the game :)
Yeah, actually, this is in preperation as well for a module Team Advent is working on set partially in the Forgotten Realms regions of Unther and Mulhorand, so egyptian/babylonian was a big part of the feeling I was going for when not being used for a barbarian look.

Finally! Some clothing men! This is great for barbarians, and also earlier settings. Babylonians, Egyptians, etc... a quick reskin of it would make tintable tartan kilt.
