Costuming with inhuman characters

That last bit is often, often, often requested, and as all of it deals with costume textures it's probably better directed to Jay's costume request thread over in the Developers Corner board. I think the skin thing is a good idea, though. I wanted to make a robot cop the other day, but the Short Official sleeves come pre-equipped with human biceps and elbows, so his uniform had to be not quite right.
Oh, if you do take this before Jay the Sexy, throw this variant at him: Have a "young" human skin option, too. I feel a bit silly playing my teenage defender when he has rippling muscular forearms, yano?

Now playing at an MA near you: Dragonslayers #335375
The idea is simply this: If one has a toon who is not human, why not allow skin options, so that when you are making your costume, you keep your scales/fur/undead bits/robotic parts, as well as get the outfit stuff? the current Tops/Bottoms with Skin option only work for those who have human-like skin, and not for those who have skin textures that are not humanesque. Changing this would go a loooooooong way for the character creation process. Also, while we are at it, why not make tails totally seperate from belts?
