Description
This is one I had to try a couple times at getting right. It involved a whole lot of tweaking of the light sets and subtle modifications to the skin. One problem you run into with darker-skinned characters is the same as any darker object on a light background - contrast. She was too red and too blown out with the lights I had crafted, so it was back to square one. I still want to do a couple more with her to test some things out, since her skin tone is challenging (and also very rich and nuanced). She looks good here, and I am happy with this (mostly).

Mostly? He left hand is a bit dark and I am tempted to hit that with a little light. Her hair is an older set, yet still looks good with the new shaders (though a tad bit twisted up). I am also a little blown out just the the side of her left breast, something I would dial back or Photoshop out. But...leave your mistakes to learn from, plus it's still cool.

I was also doing experiments with natural lighting today and came across a bunch of issues and concerns. More on those as I work on them.
