Bringing characters to life (NSFW) (Patreon)

I can't tell you what it feels like to be able to see my characters in 3D like this. When I applied Epoch's skin and used the cleft lip morph my best friend made me (which I love her for, because it looks exactly like how I drew it) I actually wanted to cry. I got the rest of him really close too, and his skin has the cool undertone I could never figure out how to paint properly until now! His model still has a long way to go, and things like his eyebrows and the texture on the scar need more work. 

The same goes for Alex, the most obvious thing being that her lips are way too dark. They should be the same value as her skin, and much bluer, so I might have to make something to go on top of her skin instead Her skin color itself is almost perfect, and it only needs some adjustments to saturation, along with a few other minor tweaks.

Here is Epoch, Alex, Charlotte and Theo side by side for size comparison! I barely started on Theo, so ignore him for now as he should be very hairy all over, but I haven't really decided on how to do that yet. 😅 However, I wanted to see him next to Charlie and make sure he was the correct height in relation to her and everyone else. Charlotte was surprisingly easy to do, and her body, face and skin already look a lot like how I imagined!

Charlie being easy is a relief though, because I have several character that I know are going to be difficult. I have to check and see how to get transparency in daz for Greenbrier, and if I can get her to glow. I also have to ask Nik  for help with Mori's cheek lines and maybe Camilla's breast scar. Getting Bloodless to look, well, bloodless is also going to be hard too! He needs to look like he has very thin skin, and is a powdery white with blue extremities. Wren is also going to be a challenge, since he is basically grey all over with very warm shadows. I don't even know how to do Jack's tattoos yet?

And if anyone is curious what their skins look like before you put them on the model, here is a cropped version of Epoch's face:
