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.

I don't mind the alien-vamp eyes, it's better than suddenly human-esque eyes. People who want their alien vamps to to have the black eyes could use contacts, I mean they'd have to do that anyway. And my, what lovely turquoise skin!

(Half alien/half sim eye? That sounds interesting, although my first thought would be a white sclera with a big shiny black iris.)

I'm only playing two vampires (The Tricou son-in-laws, K1 and K2) but I haven't done much with them because my defaults are unsatisfactory. So I'd certainly be interested in these!
