[REAL-SKIN DE-OILING + PHOTOREALISM PATCH — STRONG]

Apply this patch ONLY to the skin rendering and photographic realism.
Preserve the existing character identity, facial geometry, skull shape, age, hairstyle, expression, gaze, clothing, pose, proportions, composition, camera angle, turnaround layout and background exactly as they are.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
Remove the artificial oily, greasy, wax-coated, polished and synthetic-looking skin appearance.
The face must read as genuine untreated human skin photographed by a real camera, not AI beauty-retouched skin, not cosmetic advertising skin, not CGI skin.

1. STRONG DE-OILING / SPECULAR CONTROL

Aggressively suppress excessive skin specular reflections.

Reduce broad oily highlights across:
- forehead
- temples
- glabella
- nose bridge
- nose tip
- sides of nose
- upper cheeks
- under-eye region
- philtrum
- upper lip
- chin

Eliminate the appearance of a continuous glossy film sitting over the skin.

Skin highlights must become:
small,
fragmented,
localized,
irregular,
low-intensity,
surface-dependent.

Increase realistic skin surface roughness.

Do NOT make the face completely flat or chalk-matte.
Retain only very subtle natural sebaceous sheen in anatomically plausible areas.

The forehead and nose may retain extremely weak localized highlights,
but there must be NO large smooth white highlight bands,
NO wet shine,
NO polished forehead,
NO glossy cheek planes,
NO plastic reflections.

Target appearance:
natural dry-to-normal adult human skin.

2. DESTROY THE “WAX SKIN” EFFECT

Remove:
waxy translucency,
rubber skin,
silicone skin,
porcelain skin,
plastic smoothness,
CGI subsurface glow,
beauty-filter softness,
cosmetic-advertising skin,
airbrushed gradients.

Skin must not behave like one continuous smooth material.

Introduce realistic spatial variation in skin roughness:
different parts of the face must reflect light differently.

Forehead,
nose,
cheeks,
eyelids,
under-eye skin,
lips,
jaw,
temples
must NOT share identical surface properties.

3. REAL HUMAN MICROTEXTURE

Restore physically believable high-frequency skin detail.

Add subtle, irregular:
- visible pores
- follicle openings
- extremely fine skin grain
- tiny creases
- micro-folds
- faint dehydration lines
- subtle sebaceous texture
- uneven pore density
- small imperfections
- fine facial vellus hair
- realistic lip texture

Pores must NOT appear as a procedural repeating noise pattern.

They must vary naturally in:
size,
density,
depth,
direction,
visibility.

Pores should be slightly more visible around:
nose,
inner cheeks,
forehead,
chin.

Keep them finer around:
eyelids,
temples,
outer cheeks.

DO NOT exaggerate pores into acne craters or gritty sandpaper.

4. HUMAN COLOR COMPLEXITY

Break up the overly uniform AI skin tone.

Introduce extremely subtle natural chromatic variation:

slightly warmer:
- cheeks
- nose
- ears

slightly cooler / desaturated:
- temples
- jaw
- eye sockets

allow very faint:
- redness
- capillary variation
- pigmentation variation
- tiny discolorations
- uneven blood perfusion

The variation must remain understated and photographic.

DO NOT produce heavy freckles,
rosacea,
acne,
disease,
dirty skin,
or dramatic blemishes unless already present.

The purpose is biological realism, not uglification.

5. UNDER-EYE REALISM

Do not beautify the eye area.

Preserve realistic:
- lower-eyelid folds
- slight tear-trough depth
- tiny wrinkles
- subtle tonal darkness
- natural skin thickness differences

Remove glossy cosmetic-looking highlights beneath the eyes.

Do not erase age information.

6. FACIAL PLANES

Preserve realistic facial volume using lighting and anatomy,
NOT shiny highlights.

Cheekbones,
brow ridge,
nose,
jaw
should remain three-dimensional through natural diffuse shading.

Do NOT compensate for reduced shine by flattening the face.

7. SUBSURFACE SCATTERING CONTROL

Reduce excessive artificial subsurface scattering.

Skin should retain subtle biological translucency,
especially around:
ears,
nostrils,
lips,
thin eyelid areas,

but the face must NOT glow from within.

No orange translucent wax effect.
No digital skin luminosity.

8. IMPERFECTION PRESERVATION

Do NOT beautify the subject.

Preserve:
fine wrinkles,
nasolabial structure,
forehead lines,
minor asymmetry,
natural texture,
small skin imperfections,
age-related details.

Allow a tiny amount of sensor-level photographic imperfection.

A real face should contain controlled irregularity.

9. HAND SKIN

Apply the same realism logic to all visible hands.

Remove synthetic glossy hand skin.

Restore:
knuckle texture,
fine veins where naturally visible,
subtle wrinkles,
cuticle detail,
uneven coloration,
natural roughness variation.

Hands must remain consistent with the face in age and skin realism.

10. REAL PHOTOGRAPHIC RESPONSE

The final rendering must behave like a genuine high-resolution studio photograph.

Use:
realistic diffuse skin response,
controlled specular intensity,
natural microcontrast,
soft photographic highlight roll-off,
subtle sensor texture,
realistic tonal separation.

Avoid excessive HDR microcontrast.

Avoid hyper-sharpening.

Avoid digital clarity halos.

Avoid denoised CGI cleanliness.

11. ABSOLUTE IDENTITY LOCK

DO NOT change:
facial proportions,
eye shape,
nose shape,
mouth shape,
jaw,
cheekbone geometry,
hairline,
hairstyle,
expression,
age,
body proportions,
wardrobe,
coat,
suit,
pose,
camera,
framing,
character-sheet structure.

This is a MATERIAL AND REALISM CORRECTION,
not a face redesign.

12. FINAL REALISM TARGET

The viewer should perceive:

“an actual adult man photographed in a studio”

before perceiving:

“AI-generated character artwork.”

Skin should look:
dry-to-normal,
biologically irregular,
micro-textured,
slightly imperfect,
softly reflective,
physically plausible,
camera-real.

It must NOT look:
oily,
wet,
sweaty,
greasy,
waxed,
plastic,
rubbery,
porcelain,
airbrushed,
beauty-filtered,
over-retouched,
CGI-rendered,
game-character skin,
AI-smoothed.

NEGATIVE SKIN TARGETS:

oily skin,
greasy skin,
wet face,
sweaty face,
glossy forehead,
shiny nose,
shiny cheeks,
specular skin,
plastic skin,
wax skin,
silicone skin,
rubber skin,
porcelain skin,
doll skin,
beauty filter,
airbrushed skin,
over-smoothed skin,
over-retouched skin,
perfect skin,
uniform skin texture,
uniform skin color,
CGI skin,
3D render skin,
video-game character skin,
excessive subsurface scattering,
artificial facial glow,
HDR skin,
oversharpened pores,
procedural pores,
fake skin texture.

FINAL PRIORITY:

IDENTITY PRESERVATION
>
REAL HUMAN SKIN MATERIAL
>
STRONG OIL / GLOSS REMOVAL
>
BIOLOGICAL MICROTEXTURE
>
NATURAL IMPERFECTION
>
PHOTOGRAPHIC REALISM

Do not merely darken the highlights.
Reconstruct the underlying skin material itself so the face genuinely stops behaving like an oily synthetic surface.
