Fembot transformation renders

[NukuNookee]

Inspired by SweetSirin22's Human-Android Relations in the Workplace stories and Dr-Whom's photography, I've rendered female to fembot and male to fembot transformation series, with the end result being a doll-like plastic-skinned closed-seam jointed fembot. I think they turned out pretty well:

The MtF subject matter isn't my cup of tea, but if I may offer a suggestion on improving the quality of the renders themselves.
Have you tried playing around with Subsurface Scattering? It increases the render time quite a bit, but the end result begets very realistic looking skin and plastic materials. It can be used with any figure or texture maps.

Yes, if I was rendering with some better placed lights it would have some better skin / materials. These are quick renders using flat lighting, for speed.

I guess since these are quick character study style renders, speed is more of a priority then.
