Argh, what a hassle. I hope you can find something that suits you soon!

This seemed like a question for Hylas: what do you recommend as far as young adult black male skins for G8? I was using Darius, but I'm noticing irregularities in his diffuse maps. I love Jada and Jinx Jones' skins, and would happily port them over to male, but I was wondering if you had a recommendation. I'm looking for more or less the same skin tone as Darius, which leaves me with Silas (lighter than I'd prefer), Teen Kola (not much detail in the diffuse map) and Leroy (signs of aging in the maps). As far as PA characters go, it looks like most of them are by Emrys/Fred Winkler or HotLilMe, who are....not exactly my go-tos for textures, unless Emrys is collaborating with Morris. Is adult Kola worth picking up? Who are your must-have black men in Dazland?

edit: ugh, and Jada and Jinx both have underbreast creases baked into their maps. I also forgot about Zale, but he too is too old for my purposes.

I don't have Kola, can't comment on him...

I think you can make Silas quite a bit darker by mixing blue in his diffuse and SSS channel.

also, what about s de b store dot com ?

Thanks for the recommendations, Kingston was already in my wishlist and I added Tyrone. It turned out that the irregularities I was seeing were due to some strangeness in the displacement setup, so now that I've worked that out, I'm going to stick with Darius for now. Not surprised your recommendations were Faber and Redz characters, as I looked through a few of them in my own library and they were good, but not what I wanted.

Yeah, I was gonna ask what was wrong with Darius, but glad to hear it's resolved.

The Darius 7 skin that comes with the 8.1 essentials on the other hand does have visible seams on the thighs, last time I checked. Looks like something went wrong with the conversion :/

Also baked in eyebrows and facial hair, which is an absolute no for me.
