Skin tone: Why does tanned looks so different between dolls?

Post by mannix »

When looking at the Real Doll 2 Gallery (page 3) they have different variations of Elena. The first one looks very much like the tanned skin tone I want and yet the others below, including all the Laila's look so much lighter? What can cause this to happen. Is it just the lighting they use for these pictures?

Lighting matters a great deal. Imagine, if there's no light, then all you see is black :)

So, the 1st Elena isn't as dark as she seems then? The other would be more representative of "Tanned".

If its a big concern getting exactly the skin color your looking for I would suggest contacting Abyss, I do believe they will send you a skin sample with the various skin tones. I know they've done it for people in the past.

Yes, they will mail you little samples of each color. I'd highly recommend this. It really helped me solidify my 'medium' tone decision.
