Rusty sexy sweetheart

View all sizes

this is my first attempt at editing the lighting and shadows on an avatar to make my sis appear more real, I am particularly proud of the shadows on the face and neck and below the cleavage as the outfit does not look like it is glued to the skin anymore:)

Rhonda...yey heyyyy...thank you for this ;-)

Yes it all looks very smooth. I am still working on the use of post prod but you could use a surface blur to even out the skin tone a bit, it retains the sharpness of eyes and mouth (Ji gave me that tip). I often find I also sometimes have to use the smudge and clone/healing tools when you get motley patches of light and dark on avs. BB also uses a diffused glow effect alot...set at a low level this effect could look good here.

The tone and smoothness of this is great...excellent job on the shadowing! I would recommend for your next shot to take the shot from above down. This perpsective really makes the models chest distracting becuase of its size...this effect may be minimized if the camera is slightly above looking down. Try it and see,

yes the chest is somewhat big you are right about that...I normally use a slight telephoto setting by pressing CTRL-0 once or twice but did not do it with this photo. Thank you so much for the tips:)
