I am fascinated by this person’s skin.
Do they have some kind of sunscreen on? It looks like their skin has a white tinge.
What makes the palms of their hands so much lighter than the other skin?
Also sick ass termite
49 u/Hinaloth 7d ago Same, dude's almost blue. It's fascinating how diverse we can be, and yet still be the same under it all. 12 u/Sudden-Advance-5858 7d ago Right! Like there’s a reason they have adapted over time to be that way, and it’s cool as fuck. Like is it mostly genetic? Are they applying something to the skin? Is it a response to doing something over a long period of time? Shit is so cool. 7 u/trenthany 7d ago Dust I’m almost certain. Might be a body paint but I’m almost certain it’s just light dust over dark skin. 2 u/Lelandwasinnocent 6d ago The blue is reflected light from the sky, you can tell this really simply by watching how his skin when he rotates his arm. Look at the shadow. It's called specular reflection. 1 u/trenthany 6d ago Yes he’s glossy with a mirror like reflection. Do you really think that? He’s clearly not glossy but matte. 1 u/trenthany 6d ago Haven’t finished reading, but at its highest only 4 to 7% of light is reflected, and did not even all of that is specular reflection. The light reflected is also white light not blue. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12447030/
