If you are fed up with the skin reviews… just skip this ok? Oh, and fair warning, I’m only about half way through as there are still more skins on my shelf waiting to be blogged.
Charlotte Morellet, the owner of Soda, has joined the ranks of my favourite skinmakers with the release of her latest skins. 10 Delicious faces, each with 5 different make ups (and every make up you buy comes with 3 different lips: gloss, nude and lipstick). So there is an incredible amount of choice, and because the faces are all different, there is also a big chance that among them there will be a couple to fit your particular shape features. One set of 3 skins is priced at L$ 900. The make up multipack (5 make ups, 15 skins) sells at L$ 3500. These skins have a high level of photorealism and added drawn details and are in some way reminiscent of the highly appreciated skin from Redrgrave. But… what makes Soda skins better for me than those, is the not overly saturated look and, even more important, no celebrity faces/references!!!!
Whereas they all have their own faces, these skins share the same soft and smooth looking body. The body texture has this soft shimmery look, like you just used a very good body lotion. Nice highlights on the belly and the cleavage. There is not so much detailing to the back, spine and shoulder blades are well indicated, but on these skins you won’t find highly detailed drawn elbows and knee pits and such. Private parts are also just indicated, not meticulously drawn. Not that I mind, the few pixels a skinner has available to draw a kitty on more than once leave it looking like it’s ready for cosmetical surgery anyway. Room for improvement is in the hands and feet, especially in the nails which look a bit odd to me, but not disturbingly odd anyway.
Lovely! My problem with this skins is that I don’t know which to choose. They are all gorgeous.
*chuckles* you’re so right Analu xoxo
After you mentioned Soda in our IM, I had to go get some demos, I REALLY LIKE THEM! Again, so hard to choose!! Ack! lol
