It's hard to find the old-school texture art tutorials that would have been used in UT's time these days, so I've been scouring for everything I can get my hands on. This is a compilation of sites, PDFs, and videos, mostly using Photoshop.
The Identity Crisis and Skindom sites in particular have some great guides that are perfect for UT character texturing.
