About this image

Tirelessly going through all NB Scars to redo colors and blending. 

They used to blend real well with ENB, but vanilla tends to be too sharp and bright. It's right about time I truly fix these and make them blend between races and with fairer female skin.

    Honestly, I'd love to have the option for both. The more subtle, lighter coloring with the more extreme scars can look really good. I wish Beth had made a slider for scar opacity. Regardless, looks great! I'd dig it

    Btw, I posted a picture earlier of my current character, with your scars. I was just thinking about how well they blended with her fair skin. I know the darker version will look good too, though.

      Is it the one I commented on? If so, the protruding scars should not change too much. They will be darker, but only in the sense that the color is more neutral and will blend between skin tones. I don't expect that you will perceive a huge difference.

      It might seem to pop just a little bit less, but I think that's only natural.

      If you ever care to test the new texture for me, and get me a shot, shoot me a pm

      The worst part is having lost my work files for the scars. So I'm working with compressed files. Thankfully there isn't that much detail to begin with but still.

      When I have for time on my hands (father of two) I plan to fully redraw them from scratch alongside the beast races.

    Awesome! I was wondering if a recolor was in order - they were looking a bit pale in game. Very excited

      Aye, they were very pale without enb. Trying to really kick the quality up a notch now.

      Blending with dark/green skinned races is much better now too.

    Btw, before anyone asks, no ENB at work in that picture. Just a touch of Northborn Reshade.
