Reskinning an entity!

[SLAMnesia]

I've looked around and I haven't really understood the whole process of reskinning an entity. The object I'd like to reskin is "crude_man_chains_statue.ent" and make him look more human-like. can someone who knows of a detailed tutorial or something that would be greatly appreciated thanks

Using photoshop:
1. Copy the folder
2. Open the .dds file without a name extension using photoshop
3. Paint/change

That is the basics. I'm not skilled enough using photoshop to tell you how to "paint" skin. Perhaps google could help you out?
