    A great looking model; any chance of a version with no sun tanning at all?

    Instant buy if there is, and likely a buy anyway. (Although it does look to have very little in the way of tan; finally, seeing as all so far seem to be tanned.)

    Oh, is there a blond eyebrow option too?

  • gypsyangelgypsyangel Posts: 1,010

    She doesn't have tanned skin or a tan at all.

    No, no blonde brows. Sorry. I may be able to offer that option in the future since I started working with L.I.E., but neither of the new characters I have going on sale have a brow option. I used to offer it on V4 all the time with the brow plate---but they took that off.

    Sorry!

    Well it is good to practice making my own, it is hard to get them looking believable; these look reasonable, but I can't quite get them right. Just finished doing this for default G3F.

    Be nice to have in future.

    At least blond are harder to see, and so slightly more forgiving on the believability scale. :)

    She looks beautiful!  Just what V7 has been missing, can't wait to see her and the other new one you've been working on, in the store :)  -Cathy

    Yeah, I've been fighting with brows for years...
    Blonde brows are a lot tougher, but not inpossible---what you need to do is get a hair color chart and photoshop swatches for hair, then find the darkest hair you can use. Issue with blonde brows is the further out you are from the camera, the more they disappear.
    But I've successfully put them on characters before.

    Use brow brushes and add a slight drop shadow. That will give the brows depth and more clarity than without it. I have some really excellent brow brushes at Renderosity that have been top sellers for years. Just read the reviews if you go look---they are well loved. :) Just look for "Gypsy's Brow Brushes"
    Use a 1-2 pixel brush using your brow color, on a new layer set your brush to between 40-80 percent opacity and set layer mode to either darken or multiply.
    Thing about eyebrows, are they aren't all one color, normally---especially the lighter ones, they have color variations like they do on the head---then they have a specular line across the brow bone---that highlights the highest and/or furtherest and thereby brightest, brow point. These are all things you need to take into consideration. So tossing some hairs in that are darker helps define and show the brows off better so they don't get lost.
    If you're using Photoshop, set the shape dynamics and other dynamics to fade to get a more realistic tapering "hair" look.
    I think if you utilize some of these tips, you'll get a lot further in making believable brows.

    Thanks, Cathy! :D

    I'm excited---these are my first two forrays into Genesis3. So...it's a bit different. I was just getting comfortable with G2. Now the game is completely different. Especially with IRay...whew...that's a tough one. The maps are uber sensitive and not at all forgiving. But I Forrest Gumped my way through and I'm pleased with the results. :)

    Cool thanks for the tips, and your sets look amazing; as I can only afford one atm, which would you reccommend?

    Ummm...the first set is probably the best set for what you're doing. If you need deco brows further down the line, you can always grab them later---but the first set is really good. It's "Gypsy Brow Brushes" so it's the first one. They're large enough that sizing them up to fit G3 won't be  problem.

    How sad is that? :)
    Sad, but true...
    That's why I became a PA to begin with...my 3D habit was out of control... I needed to make money so I could give it back to DAZ.
    Another one of Dara.
    Looks like Maret may make it out the gate first, though...so hopefully this week. :)

    She uses G3 UV. All my characters use the base UV except for the first few I did. So anything now uses the base model UV.

    Unfortunately the issue of high heels on fantasy characters has become contentious and we are therefore removing, even light-hearted comments on the topic from this commercial thread.

    Another fabulous character from you my dear and my first official stand alone Genesis 3 character purchased.

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    Dara in 3delight (cos i have to wait till i get my new computer to go into iray further)

    she's utterly gorgeous and I am completely addicted to her makeups :D :D I've got a few more ideas with this girl, so hopefully can get the finished art up soon :)

    Hopefully the forum won't kill the image, I'm putting it in my daz gallery and da gallery too so i'll link those if it looks too shite :D 

    Speaking of, GypsyAngel, do you have a 'group' at DA so we can upload images we've done using your characters?
