How's it going? Skinning with CorelDraw might not seem all that intuitive at first, but it makes creating variations really easy once you get the first one done.
I don't need the skins yet, maybe in another month or two. I've passed the 2/3 mark with the animations, but that means I still have about 25 more to go. Still, one at a time, I'm getting there. Once it's done 90% of all necessary animations for humanoid models should be done, with only race- and gender-specific ones left out. Then it will be time to make alternate head and body meshes (head: bare, leather, chain, plate; body: normal, robed) and then start the skinning.
One thing I hate about the .wld format is that for everything except faces it only supports the four armor types (bare, leather, chain, plate). It means that all of the skins have to have the same general skin tone, which limits how much variety is available (e.g. if you want a darker-skinned elf like a desert elf you have to create a whole new race).
