Quote - I love the mesh, the joints and the modelling but why has she got red legs when the rest of her is not so red. I have looked at many a leg in my time and I have never seen a person's legs so red compared with the rest of the body. This is pet peeve of mine and I would prefer to have a more realistic skin from the get go.
Otherwise she is bang on. Good job.
The red legs come from the model reference not properly prepared for the photoshoot. If you walk around all day the blood is going to circulate down in your legs. So the red is actually realistic if she was walking around prior to the shoot. If the model does not do a lot of movement before the shoot, then you will not see this and will get references without the blood flow. However since most reference models come from 3d.sk and the way they get their models... well we won't get into that... but this is in a lot of their references, so if you don't want the red, you'lll have to do texture surgery or replace it with a different reference.
