OK, I got the black ring problem cured and the lips. To turn vic 2 into a teenager I scaled the head to .3 young and the same with the jaw. (also dozens of other minor face tweaks. The thing that seemed to me to reduce the age the most was adjusting the nose to a more flattened, wide bridge. The target age of this is 15 - 16 but to me it still looks more 20 ish.... Suggestions? Thanks Mike

I think she looks 15 to 16. In fact, I like her a lot! I can't suggest anything to improve on her.

Hmmm . . . Might try shortening the nose, soften (recede) the jaw? One tweak I've used for youth, edge the monkey face up a bit - seems to suggest an obstinate pout. Nice Progress!

Well, this won't effect the morph, I think that it looks good, but you may want to try lessening the make up in the texture a little... the rosey cheeks are good for making a character look younger, but it seems like it's a bit more than just a natural pink tone... but then that could also be from the .jpg compression of the image itself...

I tend to over-do the makeup sometimes. I also turned down the bump map for the skin a bit and that seemed to help some as well. She is deliberately wearing makeup btw, not supposed to be a natural look. I should try the natural look though, just to see the diff. Thanks

She looks about 15-18 to me. Really cute character, excellent job. The blush is wrong though. Try blending it on the apple of her cheeks not near her nose, it looks like she has Roscea. Then turn your opacity down a little bit to blend it. The chin needs to be soften a tad, and her top lip needs to be soften a tad, its a little bit too pointy. Other than that, its great :)

To make her more adolescent, enlarge the nose. That's probably the most typical facial feature for that age range...(approaching 16-18 it becomes more adult in proportion) Her eyes look too big to me... I get the idea of a Disney girl (Belle, etc)

Ok, softened the lips, made the nose a bit bigger and softened the bumpmap. Tryed some of the other suggestions but it changed her looks too much. The big eyes were my idea, I have always been a big fan of large eyes. Improvement?

I think you're getting there... perhaps a subtle imperfection or two in the texture map, and a less sophisticated hair do and you're there!
