Request for skin textures with normal eyebrows
This is a request to all product artists who make such wonderful skin textures and then... oh dear, whose are those eyebrows?
Now I know that it is the fashion today for women to pluck their eyebrows out and then paint them back on again, to make themselves look like Groucho Marx or Mr. Spock.
Below is a pic of some eyebrows from recent G8f characters. I have put the mats on base G8f to spare any blushes.
The top two are default G8f and a character with normal brows. For the others, well you make up your own mind who the brows most look like, Groucho or Spock.
The issue is exactly the same with G3f characters.
So, please all you wonderful texture artists, if you must include Groucho or Spock eyebrows; please, please include normal eyebrows as an option.

You do realize that "normal" is very subjective, right? maybe post some images of what "you" consider normal brows. I don't think the others look anything like the groucho or spock eyebrows. With image editing apps and the various brow remover products, i really don't see this as that big of an issue.
Well the weird thing I just realised is that Groucho Marx's eyebrows & mustache were both grease paint. I guess that's to be expected since I hadn't saw the Marx Brothers since 10" B&W TVs that were still luxuries for most people.
Well, "normal" is not really subjective at all. As a mathematical concept, a normal behaviour would be within one standard deviation of the average (the peak of a normal Gaussian distribution). However, perhaps I should have said "natural". Of course, there is a large range for this as well. Look at Brooke Shields as something of an outlier (but at least natural, not obviously painted on). As for editing the textures myself; yes, I (and everyone else) could do that, but it would be so much easier for the original artist to add in a more normal, natural looking alternative eyebrow as well as a dense black obviously make up derived eyebrow.
something interesting to see...

Hey Max, thanks for all the eyebrow pics. Groucho was undoubtedly proud of his protegees Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor :)
Well, you know what they often say, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
Some people like them and some don´t.
... We must have uniqueness and originality to all faces.
As an artist I have painted and drawn many faces over the past years, all with diferent eyebrows and unique features.
At the moment I am trying to create a Bjork face morph for my DAZ ( a younger version of her face) and she will have big eyebrows.
Its all cool with me. I still think she is a cutey with larger eyebrows. Great singer and a sexy lady.
One day when I will create a Marlene Dietrick I will make her with no eyebrows!... Everyone can paint them in their own style

Absolutely fine with that Max. If you are trying to recreate a particular character, then of course you would copy their eyebrow style. However, for artists who are just creating a pretty face (and there's nothing wrong with that) and already providing umpteen variations of makeup/tattoos/skin shaders etc, I think it would add versitility to their product to add in a couple of different eyebrow styles.
