What Character Is This?

RS-S

Hey all-

Sorry to keep doing this, but people don't seem to provide links to the products they use in their promo shots. If anyone has an idea as to what character is in the image, please give a shout out.

Thanks

This looks like the artist's own character.  Some artists create their own characters they use solely for their own promo images and Neftis is one of 'em.

The morph that is. That tattoo should make the texture recognizable (it's Dimitri, by Darwin's Mishap).

Thank you both!

Knowing the texture is very helpful. . . as well as knowing that some artists use creations not available. I'm fairly competent at "sculpting" a new look for the models, but some skins don't render with really clear, life-like detail like this.

Have a great day!

Have a care. Skin texture and render results are not the same. Shader use and values, along with lighting usually have more effect on the final visual impact.

With the proper setup, 'straight' colors (no diffuse/albedo maps) can give some pretty darn good results...

No argument there. Key being "proper". Too often, at least for me, simpler in concept than execution.

Yeah...in theory it should be dead easy.  But in practice...there's a reason photo based textures are so common.
