Playing with DAZ texture in photoshop. Trying to get the look and feel of genuine east Indian skin. Wide varieties in tone exist, of course, but let's ask: Without the dot on the forehead, would you have guessed Indian? If so, then I guess I'm on the right track :) Thanks for input/suggestions/comments. -WTB

Maybe, but it is real nice, Sharen

There's a lot of variation in complexion among the races of india, but for the stereotyped hi-caste look, here are my suggestions. Add more deeper darkness around and especially under the eyes (Cholesterol?), add a little more dark oxblood in the lips & nipples - boost the highlights to simulate a slightly oily complexion (See closeups of SteffyZZ's Yoda/Yuma?Y?? texture for example of what I mean by oily highlights). Also, for a more traditional look, add paler regions around the hips and upper-thighs, (bathing in the Ganges River, even today, the women often expose their tops, but rarely go nude)
