friends (anyone) want to offer an opinion? i've been making an attempt to recreate my Hawke's freckles:

thoughts? I messed around with making a freckle tattoo but I've been staring at various versions (eight? ten? idk. help.) of it for so long I no longer trust my eyeballs lol.

the type of freckles I wanted were nowhere to be found in either the original complexions (so many have five o'clock shadow wtfff) or the mods I've seen on nexus (wrong freckle size/density/wrong complexion if tied to a complexion). I probably used a mod to give her the freckles in da2 anyway haha.

there's three different areas at different opacities here. I tried doing a facepaint also/instead since this means if I ever wanted to use this for an elf who has vallaslin (or any character with any face tattoo) I wouldn't be able to but. uh. editing the paints is not as straightforward as the tattoos. whatever was happening (or not happening?) with the alpha channel was... not great. I'll try again eventually though.

#elle plays da #elle mods da #<- ? sure i'll make a tag for that #honestly tho why are freckles not available as their own slider???????#have the complexions with them sure! but. why not also a separate thing.#WHY do the complexions have five o'clock shadow baked into them #that should ALSO be a slider #(i'm going to guess it's because npcs use the same complexions and it's easier to make ones for *them* that way since it means #fewer texture files and variables to keep track of)#(BUT STILL)#anyway i also tried editing a complexion and that did not go particularly well. not terrible but... i think the tattoo turned out better
