About this image

I've been fiddling with SLM trying to make her look more African American. I don't think it is an easy task and I'd like to hear your opinion/critique. What can I do better? What should I keep?

    She looks good but think her lips are a bit big and need to be down a bit from nose, and cheek bones maybe a bit higher on cheeks, but she look very real

      Thanks Heaven I'll have a go at it. I just hope I don't end up with a generic FO4 barbie doll......

    I think its easier to make a African American guy than female, the hair styles suit the guys more and the overall features. I tried both and the guys seemed more convincing than the women

      Thank you Corfus You might be right. Actually I use one of the preset African American males as is. Just added a scar. And I think he looks terrific The female preset however........

    It's hard to say when everyone looks different and without knowing exactly what you are going for. I mean do you have a specific country in mind as a base? Just regions can hugely differ in facial features.

    I've never been to the US, but here in Sweden I don't really think ppl have a certain look to them, it's all very mixed. I usually look at pictures and pick out facial features I like, not really having a base look to go by. Like this for example http://oi67.tinypic.com/28usgtt.jpg

    I think she looks kind and understanding, that is the feelings her face sparks in me. There is a huge chance that if a thousand ppl saw this picture it would remind many of them of someone they know. So in conclusion, going on what I see, her face looks like a person and not like a cartoon with abnormal features ^_^

      Thanks a lot SootDirt, for those kind words The pics are really good. I'll keep them as a reference for a winters day when I've got too much time on my hands. If I can get close to just one of them I'll be very happy Heh - maybe I could Michelle Obama

    It's not easy until they have African Americans actually designing the character creation tools, same goes for body type. The standard presets are "just to be polite n'all" comical.

    PS
    The closest I could come up with was

      Thanks Daemon They DO have a preset. But I'm not keen on fiddling with THAT one. I don't think it's attractive from the outset.

    increase the eye size, scale down on the lips and also decrease the chin height. Take the eyebrows a bit up
