Of course I have no proof but that photo you posted is, in my opinion, NOT an unmodified photograph. It has obvious photoshopping clues. Somebody was messing around to get a more scary effect.

Look carefully at the RIGHT side of her skin, just along the hairline. See how its red there too? That can't be SSS.
The overall tone (blooming white, to yellow, to red) is a pattern I see in lots of badly edited photos. Its a common artifact of letting the software try to enhance contrast without a human judging the result.

As evidence, I am posting another photo image. The one on the left is, I think, realistic. I made the one on the right by doing a single contrast adjustment in photoshop. Does the coloring there look familiar now?


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
