[B]UPDATE[/B] Ok, so I've tried to make Alyx's face more blemished, and I also gave her a new hairband and hair. I also gave her eyebrows and lips more contrast as requested.

I'm feeling it.
She still looks too good. Maybe you could get her modeller to give her a pre-orange box face mesh? She used to have a less rounded face, it looked better.
really?
Stop working on that right now. I order you.
Call it done. Her visage was always a bit fantastically "perfect", which I thought was part of the point of her.
Looks fine to me.
That's perfect MAN, PERFECT DON'T TOUCH ONE MORE THING, IT'S AMAZIN
She still looks too perfect. Maybe give her a huge boyle on the left side of her face and some zits on her forehead with pus coming out of them? And add nosehairs!
[QUOTE=The Jack;39635838]She still looks too good. Maybe you could get her modeller to give her a pre-orange box face mesh? She used to have a less rounded face, it looked better.[/QUOTE] Please no. Just seriously, we're pretty much going around a circle with "ITS TOO UGLY", "ITS TOO PRETTY", and "TOO ASIAN". [QUOTE=Meatpuppet;39636174]She still looks too perfect.

Just slap a huge dick on her forehead and make her face a damn bratz doll to balance everything out.

With all the complaining about faces, maybe just chop off all character heads and have only an HD body. Then it'll be really enhanced.

After this you must make the Half-Life 2: [I]Zoom! Enhance![/I] Mod, where the view is also zoomed in 500%.

Hello Kevin!
Dear Kevin Sisk, I WOULD MARRY YOUR VOICE IF I COULD (please let me know if he replies to this)
I think the texture is pretty much perfect. Now I'm starting to notice the model itself needs some enhancing.
[QUOTE=xalener;39631053]I'm black and asian too, and my skin Goes back and forth from pale snow white to carmel seasonally. It doesn't even matter whether or not I'm actually in the sun. Besides, you made it sound like she changed ethnicity in that concept art. She only changed shade. I mean, her nose is different but that looks like either a discrepancy on the artist's part or a conscious decision... I mean why draw concept art of her face if it's not about to undergo a marginal change? Hell, maybe this new paleness is a result of them taking her lifestyle into account.[/QUOTE] I don't think being in the arctic for a few hours causes you to lose skin color, but extended exposure to winter weather... perhaps.
[QUOTE=Cone;39636497]most of his stuff is actually pretty high-quality imo, he just absolutely cannot do faces or skin without it looking like something The Many would cough up after getting leukemia[/QUOTE] DP's [I]'high quality'[/I] textures are basically just enlarged versions of the originals, with texture overlays over them (except for the faces). I wouldn't call that high quality. HQ is what you get when, 1 you resize the textures, 2 find very high resolution pictures of things that look similar to the original reference, put it on there, and manipulate it until it looks good. Not just overlay little 'detail' textures on top of a solid color, or the original texture- stuff I've found out from experience looks very bad.
[QUOTE=SpotEnemyBoat;39637678]I don't think being in the arctic for a few hours causes you to lose skin color, but extended exposure to winter weather... perhaps.[/QUOTE] we don't know how much time she spends there. ;)

If you get the chance, post a shot or two of her making some facial expressions from in-game, they're always a great litmus test for a hq model's overall style and quality.
should upload images in lossless format, i can't tell for sure what's supposed to be blemishes due to all of the jpeg compression
[QUOTE=Barbarian887;39639098]should upload images in lossless format, i can't tell for sure what's supposed to be blemishes due to all of the jpeg compression[/QUOTE] What site should I use for that? I think Imgur (what I'm currently using) compresses it no matter what, doesn't it?

Unless I use printscreen, it'll be saved as a compressed .jpg
imgur compresses uploads don't use it
