Genre! Androgynous

Slowly getting back into the swing of things, and that means... GENRE! This time around, the theme is 'androgynous'. At first I was like 'that is a near free for all because almost everything I do is unisex'. But, of course, unisex and androgynous aren't exactly the same thing. So I undertook something I'd long considered but never done due to the number of creators that do it better... I made a skin.

Looking around, there aren't really alot/any androgynous fantasy colored skins. Which feels odd, because it seems like the non-human races are more likely to be androgynous or non-gender...

Either way, I made a skin. It's still getting tweaked but will be done in a variety of colors coming in the future, so feel free to give a shout out if there's something you'd like to see done. I also made an 'add on' pack that has some of the things you might expect from me -- dragon scales and freckles in this case -- that are color matched to the skin. (Note: a new version of fantasy freckles will probably be released shortly.)

MerScales: Comparison & Preview:Scale Series

I'm working on another scale tattoo. I'm having fun with it, but realized an important question... What color should I make it? So I went to see what color of my mer scales seemed to be enjoyed the most. Answer: White. By a long shot. I assume that this is because of the ability to color tint to specific needs. To investigate this, I did a number of snapshots. I did the tattoo layer white, then tinted undershirt, shirt, jacket and gloves to different colors, saved them, prepared for the shoot and snapped off a number of pictures. I changed the skin color and did another round of shots. Then I added the white tattoo layer as a background with the clothing layers over the top and did another series. And finally I did a series with the original mer scale types.

Black skin. Dark red tint, bright red tint, blue tint and medium purple.

I did wait for them to rez in. Somehow, there is still a lot of detail lost.

Same as above, but with the white tattoo under to boost the difference.

The originals, found on marketplace.

 Which is better... tinted scales, or the originals? Your call. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/60609

Also, Preview! A new series of scaling, going from barely scaled to almost completely. Colors to be released? Not sure yet. What would you like to see? Answering may even win you a free set in the color of your choice!
