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.

Phobia's version replaces the skin, too, she just uses the same skin as the Maxis version (it's all together in the game files). I'm pretty sure all creature defaults work this way, unless the skin has been edited out so that there's no change at all.

EAxis got wiser when they made werewolves. They actually have a slightly different version for every skintone, including one with green fur and alien-ish eyes for the aliens. Oddly enough, they went back to one size fits all for the plantsims.

Thanks's for your input! ^_^ I'll definitely be breaking it up into separate pieces of cc for maximum usefulness for different people.
