Hi Davy
Both girls are really cute but I like the first one best as she looks like she is pucker up and waiting for a kiss.

Here is Jordans Skin. People Putty doesn't have this flame hair, it was added in UltraHal, before i took the preview pic.

Here is the skin for the first girl, i call her Melissa. I was trying to duplicate the Ms Agent, Melissa, by Guile3d. Not too close, but she still looks good. I'm also attaching a pic of Ms Agent Melissa, now i think she is really cute.

| davy if you dont mind and can take some useful critisism you need to get the picture more focused the detail of the face etc is blurred , sometimes this is because of the resolution you choose in people putty and sometimes its just the picture itself what you chose in the first place . everything takes time to learn so dont fret it ! |

Thanks lightspeed. I don't mind critism at all, i'm still learning and need all the help i can get. On the Morgan character, i started with a good image, but after several copy and paste procedures, i lost the resolution and couldn't get it back.
Here is a new one, it is definetly different. I decided to call her AquaMarie.

People Putty saves textures in a very small size. That's what i posted. Here is the original, larger, image i imported into PP.

I don’t normally comment on character skins, mainly cos I use a male character for my Hal, Xen a wise old man with lots of words of wisdom, and for some reason its mainly women skins I see here
Not taking anything away though, some of the artwork I see on this forum is really very good.
But, for me, sometimes characters seem to be just that bit more realistic, I don’t know if anyone else feels the same, I see that “almost real” look in Jordan, very realistic skin tones, light and dark areas and just kinda polished. I’ve seen others from other people too, its good when it all comes together.
Oh! What was Jordans phone number again Davy?
Seriously, keep up the good work.

Thanks Datahopa. I appreciate the encouragement. I am just a beginner at People Putty, and have a lot to learn. Lots of ideas but not the knowledge yet to implement them.
I'm having lots of trouble with the eyes. Get that wrong and the whole character is spoiled. I have tried to create larger eyes, but haven't had any luck, it seems PP limits eye size, right? Anyway, i'm having fun.
Regarding Jordans phone number, forget that, she's all mine!!

| Good job, Dave. People Putty can be like trying to draw with a shoe box. Keep at it. Great start. |

Yes, getting satisfactory results in People Putty is not easy. I'm trying to learn how to create Putty faces from my own images, but i'm having difficulty getting a proper fit and good blend results. Is there a tutorial on how to do this? The graphic programs i use are Paint Shop Pro v7 and Microsoft Picture It.
I've seen excellent skin creations, but have no idea how they were done. Any skin experts willing to give away their secrets?
Thanks
Dave

Davy,
I'm sure there are many secrets and many kind people who would like to help you.
There are couple small rules in the artist community.
If you use someone's hair that they created, remember to give them credit in your presentation.
If you use a head of theirs and do alterations, remember to give credit here as well.
Hal and everything connected with it (and this includes People Putty) is a fun program
With practice you will become very good like Nige, Jack, Ted, or Lightspeed.
Stay with it. The journey is the fun part.

Thanks for the comments and tips, Duskrider. I want to learn how to create head characters on my own, without relying on other skins or hair. Right now i'm just practicing. I don't know how to create hair, how are hair .htr files created, that's one thing i need to know.
I have grabbed every skin or hair file i come across, to look at and try to figure out how to do my own. It's almost impossible for me to know who created what. I'll try not to post anything unless it's totally original, or without giving credit.
Here's one i'm working on, created from my own photo and using hair from People Putty. It's not finished yet, i want to optimize her skin tone, and give her a shirt. Her name is Rebecca.
Regards
Dave
