Theme Scars on fantasy colored resin

I don't have any to show, but just like human skintones, i would just recommend going a few shades darker or lighter (depending on the type of scar) for the scars. So if it was a gash over the eye, for example, i'd go a few shades darker with the blue and then shade accordingly for depth.

If it's a fresher scar, consider what color their blood is. If they bleed red, the scar may have a bit of a purpleish hue.

I hope this is still helpful since i don't have pictures haha

 

100% what DontShoottheDucks said! I have a dark gray skinned boy with a large facial scar that looks so natural and blends with this faceup and blushing perfectly. (thanks Krowbar!) I've done lots of scarring myself too, but always on human skintones so far, and I love the glue method the best. It really is just about blending in darker and lighter tones of the skin color into it depending on how fresh you want it to look.

 

I don't have any newer photos handy, but I did give my grey skintoned tiefling doll a few scars (visible in this post). There are a few things I'd consider: Is your girl a darker blue, or a lighter blue? Are her undertones warmer or cooler? Does the shade lean more greenish, or more indigo/purplish? How fresh/old is the scar? If you're feeling indecisive, it's entirely possible to do a small test patch somewhere else on the body to see how different options might look with the skintone.

 

A good place for inspiration might be behind how she got the scar in the first place, and then researching visual effects artists emulating similar scars. When I finally dye my boy blue, he's going to be scarred to heck, including a cold burn branding and a Glasgow smile. How the scars were made will determine how they ought to look and how you should approach them.

 

I put scars on so many faceups it’s not even funny, but I have a few that I’ve done on fantasy resins! I don’t have pics of the ones I did on my red girl, but I sure have Blue, grey, and indigo skinned dolls I did scarring on.

On Jor, I blushed them in black, cause his skin is so pigmented nothing else showed right, built up a layer of heavy gel matte, which is my god-tier product for scarring, and then let some of the iridescent interference blue mica I brushed over his face get stuck in it. Glossed it lightly after the faceup for a little extra emphasis.

Chromis (light grey) has red blood with a golden sheen to it, so I did his in a lighter reddish shade, then took a light grey over it, then hit it with some golden interference mica. Didn’t gloss this one, as I wanted it to be a little less fresh, so I decided the matte finish worked.

Nira is probably the most relevant to you here! I dyed her this lovely vivid blue, and did her scars in purple since she bleeds a purplish red and her skin is blue. This one is also not glossed, or given any mica, as it wasn’t as recent or as serious as the scars I did on the other two. I used a slightly darker shade of the colour I used to blush her, which is my rule of thumb for scars!

Bonus:

Phoenix by Indifferent Red, on Flickr

this was some of the more complex scarring I’ve done to date—Phoenix has really subtly little veins I did with a light hand in blue and red pencil crayon, to really highlight the scarring (her scarring is magicallly induced, and doesn’t heal until the vampire who did it is dead!). I used the same colour I used to blush her, a couple layers of my heavy gel, and some gold/peach mica, and then went in and did the veining, blushed over it to make it more subtle, and then glossed the whole thing. Usually my rule of thumb is that scars get done in a darker shade of whatever I blush the doll in, unless I have a lore reason to make it another colour.
