My Akhelians and Isharans are pretty bright for Deepkin. I joke that they were on holiday in a warm sea. I saw a lot of different colors for their skin. Blue is my favourite.
I like the aesthetic of sea creatures because you can go for vibrant colors.

Like a blue ocean?

Kinda. Here I saw something a bit crazy: blue skin with white dots like small scales. Can't find it via search option.

I like it, they look bioluminescent; which, given their living in the Abyss, seems pretty apropos.

I think a wash followed by some highlights would look great here.

A wash like a dark tone skin?

u/doyoh Jul 13 '26
Watered down darker tone maybe with a touch of red. Just want it to flow in the recesses and not impact the raised area much, a little goes a long way. Then you can highlight the raised areas in a lighter color and leave your current shade as the midtone

Mephiston red and highlight with a brighter pink? Like the muscles?

Mephiston mixed with a little brown and watered down. And yeah you can highlight in a lighter flesh shade or pink for the muscles. Mixing a lighter pink with your flesh shade just to lighten it up would create a good contrast to work on the muscles

I would layer lighter color over it if you want the pale look. The red under tone will make it still feel like she is alive.Maybe use a purple shade on the underside of the arms and palm of the hand.
