Sachiangelo’s David

When it rains, and pours. sachi Vixen of Adam n Eve has released not one but two new male skin lines in the space of two days, and there was much rejoicing since it’s been a good while since she’s done a new male skin for sale. This review is of the first one, the David, which is available in four tones along with four facial hair options; each purchased skin comes with the option of head hair and bald. The tones run from relatively pale to quite dark, and the face (when compared to the second skin, Nicholas) seems a bit younger.

A full figure shot of the David skin in tone 3, which struck me as my favorite as I looked at demos for them. The shape is my own (the nose always gives it away, right?), which I tweaked a fair bit to make it work as well as possible with the skin. In any case, you can see how skillfully executed this skin is—nothing leaps out at me as being out of place. I wish the male avatar had better feet (ugh, those ankles), but not even the best skin in the world is going to be able to improve on those flippers; that said, it’s a very credible job with the toes I think.

Here’s a close up detail of the face and torso. A lot of this involves brand new photosourced elements from Sachi, and she’s really blended them together well. The abdominal muscles are quite defined (not my favorite thing in the world, to be honest, but that may just be jealousy because I know I’ll never have the old six-pack), but the shading for them seems to have a rather natural shading to them; nice and soft, rather than seeming as if it’s been chiseled out of marble. The hint of hairs on the arms are a nice touch, too, as so many male skins seem to go for an almost-androgyne level of hairlessness. There’s a nice level of detail on the hands, as well.

The lips are one of the standout elements here, quite full when compared to most of Adam n Eve’s male skins (I’ve been informed that sachi’s partner, Damen, is to blame!). The Nicholas skin also has a fuller lip in this style, though as you’ll see when I review that one, the lip colors are rather different to suit it.

Adam n Eve’s male skins always have rather handsome derrières, if I may say so. The shading on the back gives a good sense of verisimilitude, and I quite like the cleft at the back of the knees. Sachi’s certainly fanatical about seams, because I wasn’t able to find any that caught my attention when I looked—she puts a lot of time and effort to eliminate them as far as is possible.

This is certainly another great addition to Adam n Eve’s stable of male skins, and a little bird has told me that you can expect more in the future. The pricing is very competitive when compared to similar photosourced skins, at L$1200 for a single facial hair example in one skintone. A four pack of all the options of a skintone is available for L$3000.
