Thoughts on my character designs?

[Deleted member 143700]

I made a post a few days ago about starting a post-apoc game. Iv'e been throwing together some concept characters and I wanted to share the ones i'm happy with to see what you guys think about them. any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated

These are good. The only criticism I could level is that the first girl has bright colorful tats. Those are cool, but how could she get the good colored ink after the apocalypse? I believe they tend to fade over time.

Those are just the textures i have, i could probably mess around with the surfaces to make it appear more dull

I dont like Tattoos (in fact HATE them) but the main girl is pretty hot despite them !

The asian girl is a tad homely, and for some odd reason she is unattractive enough to me, that I wouldnt mind her being the subject of the harsher and grosser fetishes (gang-bang, blacked, humiliation, watersport, NTR, etc).

The main guy is decent enough, but I hate the shaved/buzz cut on nearly all male characters, Jesus Christ !! Does Daz3d not make decent hair textures for males or WTF ?? (not going off on you, more on Daz3d itself).

The last guy... I LIKE him, from his pale skin, to his nearly supernatural look... Is he a vampire ? a ghoul ? a werewolf ?

The dead eyes makes him a zombie. But I agree it could be clarified. There are morphs for that.

I had to bring the tattoo texture into photoshop because it applied it directly on to the skin mat, but I was able to take away some of the vibrance

Big Improvement, he actually looks like a handsome chap, just loose the hillbilly beard LOL

The first, second, and fourth characters are all unique, and all of them are well-rendered.

But the third guy looks like Michael 7.

It was michael 8, I've been messing around with the shaping and this is where I am right now on the MC. I mixed the body types of michael 8 and lucas 8

Still somewhat bright (the water especially). You can tinker with it more if you want but it is clearly toned down and more reasonable.

Post- apocalypse. I doubt he has a good razor available.

There is some really nice facial hair using fibermesh available for free on Deviant Art by Laticis Imagery. It's here:

You must be registered to see the links

I have used other older hair (pubic hair in my case) from Genesis 3 female on Genesis 8 females with no problem. You might be able to use this facial hair, and because of the fibermesh technology, it will look very realistic.

It would probably be better to do this by making the tattoo somewhat transparent. Actual tattoos aren't totally opaque, which is the reason why they aren't that vibrant, so you might try applying a somewhat transparent tattoo over the existing skin texture.

As for the guy, with your edit he looks a bit less like the traditional "brown-haired white guy", but he still looks pretty ordinary for video games. He needs some "flare" to make him less generic. It could be something simple like an obvious scar, birthmark, or a streak in the hair, or it could be something like having him be a different race, younger, older, or anything other than the typical "bro".

And speaking of race, the Asian girl should have a skin color more appropriate for an Asian; she's too white. She also needs some "flare" herself. Perhaps some cute glasses, colored barrettes, less generic black clothing, just... something.

The first girl has the tattoos as her "flare", so you just need to do something to make each of the other characters look less like background characters as well.
