It doesn't seem like we have a more reddish-countershaded gold base. Also I just really love the color of nectarines so I thought I'd play with it and, uh, here's Nectarine?

First time trying a base here so totally open to constructive criticism.

For Reference

Edit: With feedback suggested below by JackNOTDaniels (#43365) and The Cackling Lummox (#275) (thank you!) - two new versions with better blending. These are identical except Version 2 has a stronger red, Version 3 is lighter on the red.

Version 2 (darker red):

Version 3 (softer red):

Version One: Lined / Lineless




This suggestion has 112 supports and 7 NO supports.

Positively lovely! Definitely support! I really adore the color combo here, and the form is rather nice as well! One suggestion though-
I feel like the coverage of light on the face really doesn't match up with the rest of the light coverage througout the body.
Either soften the gradiation between the midtones and light on the muzzle or pull the light back a drop so it matches where the fleshy pad on the lips end. (So it stays between the "y" shape touches the lips and the end of the muzzle. )
ALTERNATELY- Pull the light down a bit where it touches the cheeks and then drag it out to fall along the side burns a bit.
Sorry if this is hard to understand, I had trouble describing it haha. I'll try and find the files to make a mock-up of that I mean.

Ah I love the changes & suggestions here so far, thank you! I'll also see about a possible mockup of my own once I can sit down and fuss with it.

Stupid wrist tendonitis. :( ANYWAY -

Two new revisions posted in the OP - version two is darker red than version 3, but they're otherwise identical. Went for better blending on the red and the softer tones, focusing the softer tones in a better placement on the body as well.

I prefer 3 over 2..

The lighter coloring makes it blend better.

I love it <3

I still support the hell out of this base.
