Thanks so much for your support! Like, seriously, you guys.

They fixed the specularity, now to just add some subsurface scattering... and surface imperfections, and skin texture so she isn't walking around looking like she has a photoshop gaussian blur filter on her, maybe some freckles. This choker won't let them do anything like add that peach fuzz most people have, but I guess that varies pretty wildly from person to person, and also I suppose some women wax their whole face and arms and everything, so it's not a dealbreaker. A few more tweaks and she'll be able to get a coffee without getting mobbed by fans or villains.

If someone touched her skin... well, she runs a few degrees hotter than a regular human, and her skin is both smoother and has that microscopic forcefield over it. It actually diffuses heat (as well as gamma lasers and bullets) so I'm not actually sure what she would feel like temperature wise. Like, if you touch an aluminum surface, at least one that indoors and not baking in the sun, it feels colder than room temperature because it's a far more efficient heat conductor than the air, so it pulls heat from your hand. But what if the aluminum was constantly being heated to 101 degrees, (Fahrenheit, obviously) but also had one end stuck in a bowl of ice water? Basically the heat would be constantly convecting from one side of the aluminum to the other, but my question is, would it feel warm or cold?

So yeah, that's what Max feels like. Warm but also weirdly cool. Or maybe warm but cool over time. But still warm. Also a little slippery, because of the force field. She isn't frictionless, just slightly more slippery, like she's just starting to perspire. But not in the way that makes her clothes cling to her. It's like... if normal human skin has 100 friction units, Max has, I dunno, 85.

But I think the important takeaway from this page is, if you're ever dating someone with a snout, at some point in the relationship, the idea of muzzling them will cross your mind. Whether it's because they're saying something dumb or for kinky reasons, it will definitely cross your mind.

Heh, Sydney almost has to fly to get up that high. Hmm. You know, I didn't actually measure that before I drew this page. She's 5', he's 7'. ((/me quickly runs downstairs)) Okay, my wife is exactly 5', and she could juuust touch the 7' mark without jumping. Given that Frix's snout isn't at the very top of his head, I think Sydney could grab it.
