Work in Progress: Vampire Skintone

[strangetomato]

Here's an update on my vampire skintone, with some of the changes I mentioned (darker lips, and smaller, more blended red eye area). I'd love to have your feedback on it.

 

 

 

 

 

The effect is a little odd on aliens, because it gives them defined pupil and iris areas. At one point I was messing around with a half alien and half sim eye (for Jill Smith) and it ended up looking exactly like this (minus the red). What do you think of this? It's less than ideal for me, but so are alien vampires with regular sim eyes, so perhaps it's a step up from that? The chances of me having a sim alien vampire is pretty slim, so it doesn't really matter to me, but I'm curious to know how everyone else feels about.

Also, Stella is wearing makeup, so some of the rosey hue of her lipstick is making her lips look warmer than it would be by default.

The overlay looks pretty nice! I like how it looks on Rainelle (who has such an innocent, doll-like face that it is almost creepy that she's actually a dangerous creature).

I didn't know that alien vampires had regular red eyes, but considering that, what you have is an improvement by far. I also agree that the red alien phobia eyes would be perfect for a vampire, so I guess that could be fixed with contacts.

Rainelle does make a rather interesting vampire that way, doesn't she? I imagine she wasn't really cut out to be one at first, but she had very little choice in the matter. Now she uses her innocent looks to lure people in. ;)

Yeah. That's basically my feelings on the matter now, so I'm not going to worry about it and will focus on the regular sim eyes instead. Thanks for the feedback!
