mj Jayaram Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Hi all, I've returned to SL after several years and have hit the mesh wall, so I'm researching that right now. My skin tone was hard to find in world back then, and it seems even harder to find now in searching for a new skin. I would like to find this skin tone, or something close to it, if possible. I've attached a photo with color values because monitors and applications can vary so greatly, but essentially it's an olive-brown/dusty-brown/darker-than-paper-bag-brown complexion. I'm not looking for an exact match, just close. I welcome and appreciate any and all suggestions or points in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mj Jayaram Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Thanks Clover. Is that Body & Soul? When I search for Soul in-world it comes up with lots of stuff, just nothing skins-related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clover Jinx Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 IM'd you a link. They do a lot of fantasy stuff but some of their human skin tones are close to the tone you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure if meant you were considering upgrading to a mesh body, but if you ARE, keep in mind that most mesh bodies and heads can be "tinted." This means you might be able to take skin that is only "kinda" close to yours and then use the tinting feature to bring it all the way home. For example, if the skin tone has to much yellow, you could tint it with a de-saturated red color to make it more a brown. If there is to much red, you could offset it with a pale blue tint. Of course, experiment with DEMO bodies, heads and skins, A LOT, before you spend any money. 9 hours ago, Clover Jinx said: Try Soul I think she may be referring to this store: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/23270?id=23270 Edited September 4, 2018 by Orion Pastorelli Spelling Mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Little Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 How about this store, they have more than this color, and remember you can tweak with tinting, as @Orion Pastorellisay over here. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/NDMD-Eden-HEAD-skin-deep/15423422 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mj Jayaram Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 @Love Zhaoying thanks, I know I sampled a bunch of their skins and chucked 'em before I understood... anything. I'm pulling those puppies out of the trash lol - there were a couple that might be tweakable. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you type @ and begin typing the name, you should see names appear as you type. You have to click/select from the names that appear as you type. This turns it into a “tag”. Hope I explained that right! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
