Hi, I'm creating characters for a political satire. This is Bob. Any ideas for more authentic hair? Also, and I've responded to requests for assistance on this myself until I tried it, how do you match the body colour to changes made to the face? Thanks. Mike

There is some great hair at Daz I think that would be good for this gentleman...Sharen

Mike Great face! What about the hair in P5, I think there is an afro in there and you can try resizing it so it is closer to the head instead of poofy. I like your pic, that was done in the face room wasn't it?

Pjaj's Lowcut hair (MP here) would be good for him. You might try the Angelus P5 hair from rDNA too, for a longer look.

Thanks guys. "poofy"..LOL! Yes I did this in the face room pokeydots, with Don. I tried the afro but unfortunately it,s based on a skull-cap so it would need too much adjustment to fit. I'm really struggling to get tight curls with a bit more 'padding'. I was kind of looking for some hair room settings to achieve the look. My biggest hurdle though, is matching the body skin to the facial skin I adjusted in the face room. Thanks for the suggestions but I need more......Mike

Hey Sharen, this is the 'gentleman' I'm trying to characature. Bob Mugabe. LOL.

In case you needed a little fodder for the fire (grin). At first I thought this was his real site, but as you get into it, it becomes apparent it's most definitly not.

LOL @ pdxjims. Yeah, I've seen it. I thought very carefully about posting this thread when I saw the comments the man attracts (LOL), but I need the help.

For Mugabe, the Lowcut hair would work-- but be way too cool. UD short curls hair at Daz would be your best bet-- just use the skull cap. You'll get a bit more height than the lowcut hair. it's a very versatile hair too. Emily

Thanks Emily. I've sorted out the hair in the hair room to an acceptable result. Has no-one got any ideas about the face/body tex's? Is it really a matter of trying to pick a coulor match by trial and error and error and error...LOL. I did look in DAZ following your inputs. Three different 'shops' to look through now!? As far as characters and their textures and hair go, I want to try and do it all in P5. I'm really amazed how little there is in the MP here for P5 characters and character items. Thanks again for the input.....Mike
