I think the skin looks a little flat in the first couple of images of the "sister" character. While the shadow areas are there, the highlights are either not there or they're plain white. In the last image you posted (#27), the lighting/shading of the skin looks a lot better imo, but the face of the girl seems like 10 years older (not around 18), i don't know if its those lines at the sides of the nose or the general expression of her face.
Overall, i'd say a little bit more depth (skin texture wise) goes a long way to make the game more engaging, but they do look nice.
Aside from that, im a graphic designer and im looking to get involved in the game developing world in some form, so if you need a hand with anything (specially graphics related), let me know.

Post #27 was done in iray while the others were done in 3delight. They are two very different rendering engines. 3delight is a bit easier to work with but lends itself to the "flat" look you're describing. For now I sort of have to use 3delight because iray takes entirely too long to render. I'm poking at 3delight trying to get the lighting better. So far I'm handling everything on my own and until this thing brings in some money, I'm wary of working with or relying upon others. I appreciate the offer and feedback though! Will definitely keep you in mind as this is a lot of work

I was suggesting more of a free collaboration instead of a paid one, i like designing and doing stuff like that. Plus i don't mind helping someone thats starting out, cause i know it can be overwhelming in one way or another.
To be more specific; i could help you with your brand/logo, game brand/logo, other titles/labels, user interfaces/menus/icons/etc.
I completely understand the thing about working with or relying on other people, so im not gonna push you on the subject. Just know that my offer stands.

In her beach shot, I tried to make it look like an early sunrise and went overboard with yellowing the sunlight. That last picture I used good 3 point light setup. Subtle blue ambient to her right so her face wasn't completely in shadow. Rim light behind was also blue which with sub-surface scattering(technical term for how light passes through skin) gives her that blueish tint around her edges. I'm telling you man, I few weeks ago I knew nothing about any of this shit.

You'd be surprised what a change of clothes and some makeup will do(as well as lighting). Sister is still practically the same as when she started(head is smaller in proportion to her body, eyes were slightly tweaked, lips were modified a bit). She can't always be in cute jammies
. But don't worry, that outfit is still in her wardrobe.

I did pick a different skin for her, in large part to make her freckles more visible. The skin I was using often looked very flat and the freckles all but disappeared. Further, if you got close enough to see them, she had dark lines under her eyes that made her look a little unhealthy. So if you look at the "final" version, you'll see those freckles .
