Description
Well, I done went and lost m'damn mind. I slapped Trystan into Studio 4.8 and made a full head/body inj for this shape (1) and for the other shape (2) and a full remove option. (I haven't figured out how to make just a head or just a body inj/rem file just yet.) Then I started on his material settings.
Got him looking ...rather good so far and hit a block. The damn eyes.
They are...distinctly blackened. I have searched for tips on material settings for the past three hours, came up with one really well done tutorial that got me this far- and yet, he's a blasted alien with those eyes.
Note: the skin settings here are with no SSS, no Uber Skin settings, no pwSurface additions. Just the textures and tweaks to the general material settings in Studio and a simple portrait light set up with one regular distant, one spec distant and a UE dome set to invisible to camera with a color matching the background and a background picture.
I'm seeing if I can get him set up a decent way with no additives, then move onto SSS and crap. Perhaps I can get a Studio set out for him to go along with his Poser settings but we'll see if I can get past this block and move to the next- his inner mouth and nails.

Great realistic skin!
Superb portrait !!!!!!!!!
great character
He reminds me a bit of Jean Luc Picard from STNG. A most superbly well developed model you have created! Bravo and many fine kudos!
