No seriously, random shot taken while testing a wig I was requested to port, it was not meant for Kirha (as can be seen from the hair colour) but imo it kinda fits and doesn't even look bad on her, so...win-win xD
I love your characters so muchI specially this one, I want to ask, Dou you have a custom race for every single one of your characters?
I started with mine and play a round with synx race and ff race, but I am using the bFaceGenTexturing=0 thingi to make synx look better, but doesn't allow me to change sking color. So I thought that maybe making a Synx race with darker skin textures just for my darker skin character.... am I doing this the wrong way? XD
Yes, every single character of mine uses a custom race, as of now most of them are using different custom FF races, this character included.
Yes, you went the right way (tough I consider bFaceGenTexturing=0 to be a bit overkilll as it will affect every single npc in the game you can just use a blank egt file for the same effect but only for your race, instructions bellow), disabling the facegentexturing and then editing the textures is the way to go
Blank EGT Instructions: You can get it from this race mod ( http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/20212/? ); once you have it, just put it in the same folder as the race's head meshes, then rename the blank egt to "same_name_as_the_head_mesh.egt", for example if the head is named "head06.nif", the egt should be "head06.egt".
oooh that is interesting and actually makes a lot of sence, thanks for the help maybe some day I will take pictures of my characters as well and stare at them and say: wow they are pretty XD
I made them more than a year ago using a psd file I found on the net, unfortunately I lost and have yet to find it again (not that I really have put much effort looking for it tough), If I come across it again I'll toss you a link.

Great shot as always.
Very nice work with the hair!
