Change the tint on the lip zone to get a different lip color. I used a pink here. Being this close, we can see there is a hard edge, which is not good. But from a distance it would be OK.
For closeup work, you should either blend the lip nicely on the color map itself, or do it in the shader using Blender nodes and a good lip mask. This is what RobynsVeil is working on. I will also have something like this (some day) for sale. Obviously, the mask has to be specific to a particular character. My hope is to have good shader control masks for all the popular figures available. But I'm not good at making these - I can't draw to save my life and also I don't have good tools. Making lip masks is incredibly tedious for me.
If I ever get around to producing control masks for shaders, I'll buy the big Wacom Cintiq 21 inch where you can draw on the screen.
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)
