You're already working on whatever tips I could give. That guy used 5 area lights!
My suggestion would be to set up glowing rectangles for lights. Capture them using GenIBL. Convert to lat/long using HDRSHOP and do a specular convolution to make a reflection map for the skin. Use that in the skin shader.
There is extensive use of SSS in the image as well, which we're missing. I"d almost argue it was overdone - the girl looks a little bit waxy in some places.
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)
