He's been patient, this has taken a long time. Which probably means his look has totally changed since he sent the last description. Oh well.

It took so long because I'm never happy with the lighting on dark skin. It either looks too shiny or too dark and ashy. I played around with the surface reflection strength and RGB color adjustments in DAZ and, although still dark, it turned out better than I expected.

Did you try a plastic light source so the skin isn't so shiny?
Tisket - 06-08-2014, 03:35 PM

I've tried any number of things.

I think it turned out fantastic.

Thank you. I really like the way the angle of the light catches his face, if I say so myself.

Really nice Tisket, every time you put one out I want to say it's your best yet. I can't wait for new ones because I know you're constantly surpassing yourself.

You are very kind. Thank you.
