For the purpose of visualization, I tried this with some different photos, including the one from the web site showing the range of human skin tone shades available. I thought I'd share this and a couple others I thought came out well.

IMO, all of the blue shades look pretty good, and the slightly darker blue for lips and nips looks nice as well. Maybe a bit of this shade for the accent painting.

I think this tone could have some flexibility as well. An elf might be a frost elf, or just a lighter shade of night elf. Alternately, she could cover her ears and play as a sexy blue alien. The Elfie could cosplay as a pale Smurfette. (Yes, I've seen the post where somebody is trying to make an actual Smurfette doll.) Maybe some other possibilities.

What do you think?
Sanhui will work with whatever skintones you want to try, I imagine. I think a lot of concepts would be better served with a base model white elfie and appropriately colored makeup and accents. In this case blue. Then throw on the right wig and she'd be perfection. Both the Forest and the Dark elfie models are a home run really. As we suspected, they're both darker and unbelievably more detailed than the photos show - I was really surprised we didn't see more people snatching up the thunder gray. I'm looking forward to seeing what the further customized dark elves look like but it feels like we're still a little ways off on seeing any of them I think.

I guess it all depends on what one want with his/her doll. I've been considering variation as well, which might be hard for a hardcore darkelf. But ultimately it's completely up to your own imagination, I think. I'd give mine a personality and some form of background to stick with, but then I might switch her style back and forth. Like elf-ish stuff when she want to show off her roots and culture, and modern stuff when feeling experimental and adventurous, or simply trying to fit in. I'll be looking more into attempting tattoos and maybe even facepaint as well. There are also plenty of anime type of characters with similar skin that could be cosplayed. Personally I've pretty much decided on a darker and de-saturated blue/grey color, but not too dark. Still undecided on if I'll go with darker nipples/genitalia or something more purple-ish as in my previous example.

I've been leaning more and more towards a taller doll lately though, the 165 to be exact, and have been trying to illustrate the Lorelei elf head as darkelf just as you've done (I assume this head will fit 165 as well?). Initially I thought she looked too intense, but Sate's pictures really put her in a different light, so I am reconsidering. I think it is much due to they style of the eyebrows, so maybe Sanhui would be up for some custom ones if asked politely :D Might do some experiments with that later on.

Here's what I've been messing with lately. Super dark I know, it was dark in my room when I worked on it :P

The color you're showing is most likely what Sanhui's dark elf preset already looks like. They are definitely darker in person. The original forest queen photos were under some bright lights and I'm pretty sure a filter. Here's the original shots and the factory photo side by side.

Just using that as a guide, their dark elf is more likely the color below, plus it'll have shading and full makeup. I know if I order the dark elfie I'll use their preset instead of trying to micromanage it. They seem to strive for delivering quality so I'd want them to take some of the creative control.

Yea but it is still impossible to say for sure by judging from those few photos that they made available here. Also considering that these more or less official presets apparently seem to cost as much as any custom color I figured I can just as well make sure it's not a smurf by sending them custom samples of what I have in mind. If they say that it is pretty much the same as their preset when compared in neutral lighting then I'll trust their judgment on the matter. Since it is quite a lot of money for the doll, whether it be the 118 or a 165, I really just want to make sure I'm happy with it :)

I really don't understand though why they don't share more photos of these dolls, as they seem to have them posing around the factory or office. If they want to sell more of their own presets they have to put a little more effort into the marketing, and why not add them to the rest of their listed skin colors if they are official? Maybe they are still exploring the market? Or maybe taking advantage of the fact that they seem to be pretty much the only manufacturer that officially offer custom colors :P Who knows.

Anyway, I don't seem to get any official answers from them in threads on this forum, so I'll contact them directly for more pics and info when I get back home from duty in June and are ready for a purchase. By then I can hopefully get a better idea of their preset by comparing factory photos to owners photos too.

By the way, about that shading, anyone know how well that holds up from cleaning? I assume it is not as permanent as pigmented color. But I have no experience with color fading on silicone or Sanhui products in particular. For my TPE ladies the color mainly fades due to the treatment with mineral oil, so I'd like to assume that regular mild soap on silicone has much less aggressive effect.

The accent paint is the same as the makeup and according to Sanhui it will come off if you rub it too hard.

So meet my SANHUI project Elf Gal Lorelei. This is one of the most beautiful faces I think I have ever seen. The detail is outstanding.

The results so far are outstanding, and the detail really enhances the illusion of reality.

Holy shit, she is truly amazing! Is it just the freckles that add so much realism, or are there other tweaks?

Apart from the ears that vis...sure, also shading of tone to highlight facial structure and add an illsuion of aging, and multitone lip shading, subtle but effective in conjunction with the patterning of the freckle density.

I really like this arrangement.

I really like how your Lorelei is turning out Anung!
Those freckles and the detail on her is simply off the charts! She looks real! 8O

What a day for fantasy doll lovers... turns out i just got a much anticipated update from Sanhui on her Dark Elf sister Malena as well! :angel:
Malena wouldn't have been possible without your constant support for doll innovation Anung, not to mention the most beautiful elf head currently on the market in my opinion! She will literally be a dream come true here! :glou:

Note the incredible custom shading detail on her done by Sanhui's artists: most noticeably at the clavicles, stomach section and on her back, along with the custom permanent pigmentation on the nipples and labia.
Side note: her lip makeup will be made to match the nipples and labia color. :angel:

So many great innovations from Sanhui lately, they truly are killing it! You really outdid yourselves Coco&KK! :evidence: :glou:

I look forward to officially introducing her to TDF in the coming weeks, and will no doubt do a thorough review of the 168 body and custom options for those interested :wink:




:glou:

Thank you zaxdoll!! :D

Her skin tone is based on the Thunder Gray that we came up with earlier in this thread. It should be very close to the color your lovely Mirya also has, though maybe a tiny bit darker because of the extensive shading detail.


Here's a comparison shot Coco just sent me to illustrate just how much depth and detail they were able to bring out in her complexion with their custom shading work 8)


Left is no shading, right is Malena

I think she's a Masterpiece :mrgreen:
