Q for those who do their own textures

I know Adi and Vex are merchants and I'm not sure if anyone else here is.. but I was wondering if y'all paint your own skins, use resource kits or create your own from resource photos? I'm going to try and make a character set (probably free release the first time since it's a test) and I'm getting overwhelmed by the resource sets available to buy. Some by Angelmoon, MaskEdit and Bice are at the top of my list, but I'm not sure whose are best. I already have an older one from Angelmoon I bought on PoserPros but I'm not too keen on the skin texture's quality.

Advice and / or warnings would be appreciated muchly :)

I saw a tutorial somewhere, dang it, of how you can do textures yourself instead of buying the kits. It shows exactly how to take pictures of yourself so you could use your own skin type, eye ball, etc. I'll have to dig.

Vex is trying to get me to dabble with skin textures =x It is overwhelming.
