Making Skin tints with Gimp (for a custom race) the head always turns out blackish blue

[Timeranger]

Ok I'm making a custom skin tint using Gimp. I some what can make the body and hand tint right but when I do the head it comes out blues black.

 

what I did was take BOG skin texture and I want to give it a color tinting to make it greenish tint to it. I took the hands, head and body texture(.dds file) made a new layer made it transparent green them merge it down, Like I would for a tattoo, Which I have done many times.

then I would place in the texture files. Open up the GECK to work on the Custom race and every thing but the head would be like it should be ...but the head would be a blueish black.......

 

any help on why this is happening and a fix OR point me to a How to do skin textures ....would be helpful.

Make sure you have the _n and _sk files in the same folder where you are putting your custom face texture.

You'll probably need the egm file too, now that I think about it.
