Jolly Nicholas from Adam n Eve

The second of two new male skins released by Adam n Eve, the Nicholas skin is a handsome, somewhat exotic-toned skin. A bit of realism goes a long way in establishing the looks of this skin, as it’s not really a typical “male model” sort of look.

Style Notes

Skin: Nicholas t3 (Black Eye Liner) by Adam n Eve
Hair: Jess by Diversity Hair
Outfit: Moderno Underwear (boycut) by Moderno (no longer available)

Another new shape, another new skin. This is sachi vixen’s tone 3 of the Nicholas skin, which has a lovely exotic feel to it when you shade darker. Unusually for Adam n Eve male skins, this skin includes an eye liner option (as a separate skin, rather than as a variation across all the facial hair options) which I’m wearing here. As always, the shading is a nice mixture of photosourcing and hand-drawn work. I have to say, I rather like the nipples on this skin.

A good look at the back of the skin. As always with sachi’s skins, the Nicholas has a firm look to that rear. There’s basically no visible seams that I can find, another hallmark of sachi’s work—she’s quite fanatical about seaming.

A closer look at the skin shows off the masculine eyebrows, the eyeliner, and the rather sensuous mouth. As you can see, the pinker hue of the lips works very well with this tone. Just the slightest hint of stubble goes a long way towards establishing the realism of the skin. One of the little details I love about this skin is the faint lines under the eyes, moving away from the super-smooth male model look so many other skins seem to have and instead offering up a little bit of reality; this is a skin that feels “lived in”, that suits someone going for a (very) handsome but just a little bit more mature look.

The skin has a nice set of abs, always just a bit more than what I like myself, but definitely nothing to cry about. Certainly looks good at the beach.

Continuing the fine work from sachi vixen, the Nicholas is a great addition to Adam n Eve’s burgeoning line of male skins. Word is that there’s at least two more male skins in development, so keep your eyes peeled!
