Paul..yes..assemetry helps.. but I'm not talking of that.  Each skin has a character in itself that has emotions.. The reason you'll look at a woman's skin and have emotional thoughts. Or a baby's foot and feel like caressing your cheek with it. Or a man's rough skin.. and want to soothe it with a kiss..

Incognitas... they looking at the sexual aspect of it.. a woman can be bland..but have a great figure.. and people will fall over her. Art/sensuality doesn't exist at that instant.

Pakled.. I love the hints.. esp no 1. I always wanted to create someone with those eyes following you.. creepy though..but wonderful. The eyes say loads.. and one look.. eyes talk, express..makes a big difference

Rayraz.. it is amazing..looking thru skin in the dark with a flashlight. Given all the aspects of skin.. maybe I wil have to render and layer it in photoshop. I do see what you mean with the sub surface scattering ..now that you've explained it. Interestingly.. I had this strange incident with photoshop..and light. I used  a glass poser figure.. dropped in a light..I didn't expect it to go thru the glass..it did.. creating this strange effect..like as you said.. when you look at your skin in the dark thru a torchlight. But it was glass.

Yes..i'll have to work on the translucent (spelling??) and the blurry bits..
