I have seen other images where the skin looks increadably lifelike. I know the original texture is important but it seems that lighting makes all the difference.

In my recently uploaded image I used the Anne Marie Goddard texture map in order to get a good skin texture. But it somehow just doesn't strike me as real as it could be.

I guess I'm asking if anyone knows of a good tutorial or can give me any help on making skin look more life-like. I'd also be interested in knowing if there is a better looking texture out there. Please feel free to see the image I have referenced and post any help you can provide. I'd even be interested in ways to make this image more attractive.

Thanks for your input!
