Skin change (and other lighting quibbles) (Pixiv Fanbox)

Hi. I toyed with skins today. The above (top) is how it looked when rendered out using settings from the previous pose. The above (bottom) is with different materials than I used in the previous session. You can see why I was concerned about her very dark skin tone. BTW those faces are not the final product, just the base that I will swap out later. This will not be published unless her likeness passes. I found a skin type that was more suited for what I needed. Something that's not sickly white or unnaturally white. In the case of vampires, that kind of thing skin type should be sought after, but not in this case. I'm looking at some reference pics and from what I'm seeing that skin tone is pretty standard (not taking into account certain cinema color grading). There's a chance I can whiten her up in post. It'll ultimately depend on the face swap. Still lots of small things to figure out. Light bulbs I think, clothing (note: there'll be a full nude version and a partially clothed version), tilt her head to face forward more, keep looking for faces that'll work, etc. At this rate, I almost want to do another pic with her. Won't know until I finish this one. I have other ideas, some somewhat SFW, too, with other models. As long as there's an audience here and my schedule stays steady, there's no reason to take any breaks yet.
