Nibble
Added 2015-02-04 23:39:48 +0000 UTC;)This was primarily a test to try out some Sub Surface Scattering techniques with Liaras skin, it had some nice results, I might continue using it in future art :)

Thanks ^__^ Yeah i see what you mean now, The white is meant to be rim lighting from the light behind but I forgot to remove the ambient occlusion shadow making it look unlit :P and the pink is the SSS Here is a less candy-corn edit hehe - <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/1ulakyt607aaxht/Nibble.jpg?dl=0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.dropbox.com/s/1ulakyt607aaxht/Nibble.jpg?dl=0</a> (Unfortunately I cant edit the main image in this post) I'm not sure about the scales though tbh, which I think is a shame as well, You can still see the scales if you view the full resolution version but yeah, there is kind of less contrast. Something I will continue trying to figure out ^__^

2015-02-05 04:02:03 +0000 UTCI really love what the SSS has done to the gradients of her skin. Smooth and lovely :) Two nitpicks though. One, there's some freaky candy-corn stuff going on with her hair that has given me a disturbing and irrational desire to nibble on her head tentacles. I guess it's good that Shep is distracted nibbling on something else :) Two, I really like the texture that her scales create. I don't know if it's possible to get both scale-texture and SSS but I do miss the scale texture a bit. On the whole a lovely render though!
