v.1.0

Adds a new face texture for use by human and elf females only


-----------------------------------
Installation Prerequisites:
-----------------------------------

This texture mod was designed for TKTK's custom head mesh found in his Pretty Face Pack

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=7887

You will need to download his mod first. My texture will replace some, but not all of the texture files in TKTK's mod.

If you are not using Expired's Extended Slider Colors you will not derive the maximum benefit of this texture and tint-mask mod.

Note: If you try to use this texture on the vanilla mesh, you will be sorely disappointed with the end result.

===============
Known Issues:
===============

This mod was designed for use by human females. Elven females look better than vanilla, but additional work is needed.

I have found through experience that not every texture works well with every face morph. Your milage will vary.

********************************************************************************************************************************
I want to be clear, this texture is not my work. It is Newermind43 and Bella's. All I did was get lucky with a few masking layers and the clone tool in photoshop. I am not an artist, and I don't wish recognition as one. I'm just a guy who saw different things he liked and fooled around with real artist's work until I figured out how to get what I wanted out of it. I cannot thank them enough for allowing me to share this. I only hope they feel I did their work justice.

The base for this texture is Newermind43's HD Face

I have not found, nor can I reproduce another texture of higher resolution or quality, his work is amazing. I cannot thank him enough for providing me permission to use his work.

I have added BellaGail's Lips from her Better Females, and used her tint-masks as the basis for my own custom masks.

I've never used make-up in my life, so being so graciously allowed to borrow the work of a pro make-up artist was key to making this thing work. Thank you Bella!
