🥰 Choose Your Own Corruption 😈

Things are moving along quickly, help me determine a future direction!
Body modification (Breast, penis, etc expansion) is a core part of Fall of Haven but I plan it to be possible independent of your corruption level.
I plan to eventually have fully corrupted alternate standing art for all the main characters to signify their complete fall to a succubus or incubus. (If you allow it to happen that is)
However, I need ways to visually communicate this journey while it is in process and to tempt the player further.
My original plan was to have this happen through tan levels because this would be easiest to pull off. I then came to the realization that hinting at darker=evil is potentially problematic and not the message I want to deliver at all. There are several fantasy colors that could be used like purple or red but I didn't want to go that direction either BECAUSE:
To spill the beans on one of my secret plans I don't know if I can pull off - I am wanting Fall of Haven to be a long ago prequel to Trials of the Succubi. Succubi live through the eons so I was hoping that a character or two that you meet might be one of the main cast of characters. As such, they would need a way to blend in with humanity once they are fully progressed and their true form would need to not be too far from a human transition.
Additionally, my plan is that you are either married or engaged in Fall of Haven and you return to them at times in your adventure. I don't want to make it too obvious to them that you are descending into the more soul stealing side of life until it is too late.
As such I am currently leaning towards making the visual transition a combination of many things: tan level (to a lesser degree), more makeup, muscle definition, and tattoos.

My current plan for the female main character is tan, tattooed, and additional makeup.
My current plan for the male main character is tan, tattooed, and more muscle definition.
Different clothing is happening but be part of the corruption process, not the result of it. How does everyone feel about that plan? Should I also make the female more cut or have the male have eye shadow etc?
I'm also trying to pull it off in a way that doesn't exponentially increase how much art I need to commission. Let me know your thoughts and opinions! 💡

You could also define muscles as, more perfect. As in the more corrupt they are, the more they look flawless to the point of being unnaturally gorgeous
