    Can we merge these two threads together because people are seriously talking about the same thing in two different threads. 

    The arm tattoos are part of the base texture, and they aren't finished. There are seams and lines that end abruptly because the tattoos were not designed to be seen without the one specific rolle-sleeve shirt. Unacceptable. 

    I think the tattoo seams are caused by the conversion process, I can only assume but originally this character was not made for G8M and DAZ Studio and conversion between different UV layouts are always a bit risky. The main work for this character is in the very detailed normal maps, I havn't seen anything similar in any DAZ character. I bet that the character looks also incredible with Dain 8 skin and the native normals. The quality of the skin textures is IMO only mediocre due to the conversion. 

    Thx for the info on the normal map. I wish more characters come out with more details on the normal or with displacement maps. Many characters come with HD morphs but not sure whether HD morphs are best for skin details ...

    I've seen plenty of folk with unfinished tatoos buit typically not a straight line.. They are expensive.

    Yes, it'd be different if it appeared as if he were just on his way to full-sleeves. But in this case there are visible seams and chunks missing. 

    I know plenty of people with similar tattoos that stop at their forearms. The only bit that seems off from the promos (because I don't have the character infront of me yet, so perhaps it would be best if you folks that do would kindly post renders of what you're talking about specifically) would be his right arm, which doesn't look like it's "missing" anything so much as it looks outright misaligned.

    The two big trouble spots I can see is a jagged corner on the back of one elbow, and then the triangular seam/cutout on the inner forearm. I know plenty of people who have half-sleeves, but I've never seen anybody have one cut off with a distinct line...it's always a jumble of images that make the sleeve and it either blends out or the collage of images ends with an indistinct line.

    Looks like a badguy to me, I might get him and change his texture because tattoos aren't a big thing in the world I would use him.
