Description
So, I don't think I've done a series of images focusing on Skylar since 1. She's Devon's bestie and 2. I've probably put just as much effort in her (though on the texture side)....So, allow me to introduce,
Skylar Magill, Devon's bestie....

Part 2
Notes: I have made a few changes to Skylar over time and I think I have her just how I want her....
Instead of the longer more feminine red hair and darker makeup, I changed her to a shorter hairstyle and less makeup.... away from a glamour look.... Skylar is a jock, a multi sport athlete coming off an injury where she lost her 4 year scholarship to a major university. Her body is more athletic than Devon and her hair/makeup is more "wash and wear"
Her skin has been a bit of a challenge. She's a fair skin red head of Irish decent with lots of freckles. Just putting freckles on the base skin map, did not get the results I wanted as they were barely visible. I ended up adding an overlay texture and translucency texture. The freckles are more pronounced but I have to be careful now as the other characters have much simpler toon based textures.

Very nice, I like. Especially the cute sandals.

Yep, she's common sense to Devon's out there....

Hmmm, the gold sandals suggest a bit of a flirty self-indulgent personality even if they are flats.

i'm a heel guy, but they do have their place from time to time.... and these gold ones have that Romanesque feel that I really like....

Yes exactly. I've had guys comment on some of my girls that aren't wearing heels with "what the heck?" kind of comments.

Yeah I generally worry about realism when I really feel it. I've worn cowboy boots and engineer boots with high heels most of my life so I'm of the opinion that heels are something you train yourself to work with and once you are used to them they aren't a problem really; most of the people who have trouble with them almost never actually wear them. Of course they are supposed to be bad for the ankles and toes so an athlete-girl might prefer to avoid them usually. But as a biker-girl heels are easier to keep on the pedals. Sort of the same idea as the cowboy boots and stirrups.

My dating experiences were few and far between. I never felt comfortable in my own skin and felt too out of place to chase girls; and when I did it never went well so I gave up. All the girls I've dated went for me. I was interested in them but not even hopeful of a relationship so it surprised the heck out of me when it happened and I didn't know what to do.

Yes, women in general have a more passive aggressive way of going after men.... so in many cases the onus is on the guy even when she makes it somewhat obvious.... Yeah, I guess I was blessed when I did come out of my shell as women in and off themselves weren't the problem it was "which ones".... I was never into quantity as some sort of accomplishment.... still.... being young.... yeah, good times.

Yeah for all my complaining about romance I do have to admit that my main regret wasn't doing more of it. The good times were VERY good. Not saying I wanted to go the full quantity of "scores" but I wish I'd known enough how to engage in more quality when I was in a relationship.

Well, no matter how much you get, you'll have regrets.... still not enough or too much..... Enjoy the memories.... Funny enough, I even enjoy the memories of the super hotties I passed on because I was otherwise engaged....

For me it's mostly the memories of the girls I'd had crushes on that I wish I'd had the courage to chase. I was surprised as heck a few years back when one of them admitted she'd had a thing for me too and was waiting for me to make some sort of move. I was never really sure where I stood with her though and didn't want to move too fast. Too many girls that were friendly and I thought were interested turned out to be totally NOT interested so I kept getting gun-shy.

Yeah, it's the whole dating ritual thing.... I'm sure there's a primitive socio-psychology behind it, but guys gotta take the risk....
There was an article I read a few years back and I may have mentioned it, but on dating sites, women had a much higher percentage of tagging, tapping, winking, whatever it's called and then never responding when the person reached out. Basically, they were seeing "where they fit in" with guys, "am I good enough to get the hot guy, the lawyer, the jock, etc...."
Guys, on the other hand, were more likely to be looking for the actual hook-up....
Disconnect right out the gate....

Yeah that was part of my problem; I was a geek in school so I couldn't believe any girl in her right mind would ever want to go out with me. And the very few that came to me were a bit terrifying. So I only tended to make a move if I felt that there seemed to be some mutual interest and even then I was never sure. Most of the time it seemed I was misleading myself and that led to even more self-consciousness and self-doubt. The latter of course is a killer when it comes to girls because they only want the guys who have confidence.
I hadn't heard about that article before or I've forgotten you mentioning it. But it's definitely food for thought. I suppose it does make some sense that girls would enjoy the positive reinforcement of having guys want to talk to them but be more careful about who they actually chat with. A girls self-confidence is very often based on how attractive she thinks she is; that doesn't mean she's willing to put out with just anybody though.
I've noticed that there has been a significant difference in the way guys and girls see friendships between a guy and a girl. Girls tend to be more social and to have more friends; and a guy friend is usually just a friend who happens to be a guy. Guys tend to see their female friends as potential girl-friends almost from the get-go. I tell girls frequently that if a guy is your friend it probably means he's hoping for more than just friendship. It's just the way guys think when it comes to girls. We might never say it; but we're certainly thinking it. Girls take friendships much more casually though it seems - at least on the romantic level.

It's also risk factors for women in sexual activity and relationships are higher compared to men.... Then there's just the reality of sex drive, what works for men vs what typically works for women.... It's going to drive differences in behavior.

Understood completely. I've known girls who got pregnant their first time who ended up dealing with the aftermath for years while the guy just walked away the next morning.

This hairstyle fits Skylar's personalities. I feel the freckles are fine on her. Recently, I came across a cute example of a 3D toon character www.artstation.com/artwork/WmL…

Yes, it's a short "spunky" style that I think fits her. It also has a beanie with morphs to fit it.
These freckles look great. Here's an early version of her, same skin map without the overlay and they're barely visible....
I like that head from artsation. It reminds me of a Disney character. Fully rigged too....
