Show your Viera

[Averax]

Hello Viera enthusiasts! I need advice for my Viera. I'm trying to figure out why I don't like my Viera anymore. I used to play them a bunch in ShB but I fell off after seeing everyone else's characters (outside this thread mostly) having better luck with good looking characters. I don't hate Viera, but seeing everyone else's characters they put hours into makes me who spent the same amount of time very envious.

I'm worried I might have made the skin a bit dark to blend well with most glamours, although I am sorta surprised I don't see many Vana buns out in the world (i like fran too much!)

Here's my bun for reference.

Looks fine to me. I'm also a sucker for darker skin colors against lighter colors and pastels.

You have to take the raw image source and not the link to the page the image is on. You can get that image source by right clicking the image and selecting "open image in new tab" and copying the address, or just "copy image address" to save a step.

Then you put it in the [IMG][/IMG]
For example:
[IMG]https://i.imgur.com/Ljv0S1H.jpeg[/IMG ] (i put a space at the end to break it, but that's how it should look with the correct image link)

I'd like a nicer place where i can upload and crop all in one go, or for imgur to fix their crap. Because you can use their website to crop an image, but that crop won't always save properly and you'll have to add a ? to the end of the link to make it work, which itself doesn't always work when you're trying to share a specific cropped image.

Ah that's good to know. I had a hard time trying to post mine. Thanks for the info.

I agree with most everyone else, she's perfect ! Dark skin with gold eyes are just fire.

As a side note Rava has some interesting tones.
I believe there is a green toned, yellow toned, and red toned brown. Perhaps even a blue tone ?
Perhaps you can experiment on new chars if you're not happy. It took me a while to find the exact tone I wanted as some of the darker tones in this game are not well done in terms of lighting map, but yours in this screenshot is really well balanced.

First of all, her skin tone is absolutely beautiful. That rich color is heaven and her eyes and hair look wonderful with it. I would say maybe try lighter color shades for your glamours so not everything blends. Doesn’t have to be extremely bright or pastel, and you can experiment with the colors. My Viera has lighter hair and more grey skin so I had to do the opposite and choose somewhat darker shades for my glams.

You could use the eye or blush make up in the Face Paint section to create some highlights on her face.
Also, like Iscah said, you could use lighter and/or brighter colors that will play with your skin tone more versus dark ones your character will get lost in. Also think about shiny materials (like leather or metal) and dyes.

I'm late, but thanks for all the advice guys! I'll definitely check them out!

If your character seems "too dark for glamours", look at different glamours. Find the colours that work for her.

Okay, I'll definitely try to do that. It doesn't help I'm awful at color theory lol

I'll definitely try experimenting a bit with the skin color tones! I'm kind of at odds with a good color combination because of reshades and things.
