Tossed together random combinations of presets and hair to test a face texture, and they actually wound up looking pretty good... at any rate, I discovered the Real Women of Skyrim by Gearhog the other day, and while I really like some of the features (pronounced eyes and dry lips are something I usually try for in my own skinblends), I found them a little too harsh for my liking - and thus, of course, had to mess with it. Not sure if I love how it looks in-game yet, but I might need to try it in different lighting - or, maybe change up the normalmaps to match.

I like to use Noel to test diffuse textures, since her facial structure and normalmaps are otherwise very specific and I thought variations in the diffuse would show up better as a result - but to be honest, I’m not sure the differences are as noticeable as I’d hoped. On the plus side, at least she still looks good no matter what I do. :p

That last anon message reminded me that I’d been meaning to try and make a texture based around HHayley’s Fair Skin Complexion for a while now, so I managed to tear myself away from Persona 5 long enough to make this. I was worried it might look a bit too much like my earlier KISS textures (especially since both make heavy use of Maevan’s Mature Skin,) but comparing the two, this one is a bit softer, and much less weather-worn. It’s kinda fun, working with a slightly different style!

(and be sure to send me a link if you release them anywhere so I can check ‘em out! :p)

With that in mind, enjoy! And be sure to show me what you make of ‘em! ;)

Remade the Mature Skin / Real Women of Skyrim mix in 4k, which I’m affectionately naming,“Oh, Real Mature!". Seems to look better in exterior lighting, surprisingly - much drier, too, but that could be the ENB. The nord is using matching normalmaps here, and the dunmer some old customized EEO ones. Fighting off a cold at the moment, so body textures and seam fixing will probably come a little later.

At any rate, if people are still interested, I can take a look at my current set and see if I can make it release-worthy. It’s not doing me much good at the moment, after all - and if I set myself to just spiff up what I have, I might be able to avoid the inevitable trap of re-making everything every few months and never actually releasing any of it.

The most interesting aspect of remaking textures at a higher resolution is trying to remember what I did to make them look decent in the first place.
