Quick Minor Update
Added 2020-06-10 11:09:57 +0000 UTCOk, I have to report that I am having SEVERE trouble making the Veronica model look close to the picture from the voting poll. I have tried about five different haircuts (including the one in pic) and messed around with her makeup, and I'm just not happy with her. I am going try some more later today, but if this doesn't go well, I might just buy about four models or so, and try them all at once in a real render (not model pics from sites) to see how they look and maybe let all of you look again at these with real renders. I am annoyed about this, but this is a very important character to me, so I don't want to be unhappy with how she looks. If everyone feels differently, I am ok with the Patrons deciding a lot, but I'm just voicing my frustration about her right now. I might try this model in outdoor lighting, but I've never done that with the others before so I don't know if that is best.
I am attaching just one sample, and maybe I'm crazy and some of you feel differently, but let me know if I am nuts. (maybe I not 100% healthy, haha!)
I create every character this same way with a generic pose so I can see their torso, arms, legs, and body a certain way with the same lighting and outfit so I can see it under the same conditions. I usually compare them to Olivia to give me a baseline of their body shape, height, and skin tone compared to her. (I know Olivia the best overall in subtle ways as she is the most customized character with combinations of six different models) At first I thought it was only the hair, but now I'm not sure. Any feedback appreciated, but I'm just kind of struggling with her I guess.
EDIT: I did this low res with a different model and I personally like it better so far, but not tried her extensively yet. Maybe I am too caught up with redheads and they don't quite look as good in this testing room. (first redhead test)

Ok noted. I am going to move on and work on other stuff for now and come back to it later with fresh eyes since I am kind of flying right now on the actual story (maybe passing 370 renders tonight) and making good progress otherwise and this is frustrating me right now. I might try mixing the models a lot more like I did with Olivia, Dominique, and Juliette (they are mixed customs). I also kind of don't want to waste the second model I showed as it was planned for another character (a brunette though)

2020-06-11 01:11:47 +0000 UTCHmm, on first picture I would say she is too tanned. The other model below looks good with that tan, but she looks too common imho. Therefore would still prefer the one on top.

2020-06-10 16:16:11 +0000 UTCThank you! First redhead I have tried and it's frustrating! I'm going to play around some more and see what I can put together.

2020-06-10 12:48:02 +0000 UTCRedheads are kind of a nightmare, skin too dark and you lose all contrast with the hair and if it's too light they look kind of sickly. I think your edited pic looks very good and that you're on the right track in that regard. Speaking personally, I trust your judgement without input from patrons considering how good the models in the first release looked. Really impressed at the work you've put in
