POST 25: Painting and Texturing (experimentation and research)

Now as I have the human models created for my scene I have an idea of how to texture them. I remember when I bought the Art of Avatar book I saw this set of images:

I loved the way that monkey alien thing was textured. So I thought I might give something like that a try with my models.

My idea is to paint each muscle as a petal from a flower. I think the strands of detail in the petals will work with the flow of the muscles. Here is a vision board of flowers:

The videos below are slideshows of my attempt to create this:

A few images from this experimentation:

I was not satisfied with these results so my alternative might be to just texture the models with a generic skin texture.
