• Second Life Tutorials by Robin Sojourner - AKA Robin Wood, he has a really elegant, organized approach. Check out his fantasy art as proof! He’s mentioned he’ll be adding more to this site, so keep watching, and check out his posts on the forums too, like his fab T-Shirt Template — learn how to make wrinkles without photosourcing!

• Tutorials by Nicola Escher - The presentation of these tuts is aesthetically pleasing.
