ISO a texture for G8 similar to this V4 one

I'm hoping to find a G3/G8 texture similar to an old V4 character set by Seven from Renderosity called "Possessed." I'm particularly after the cross effect on the forehead. I want to use it on Torment 8.1; I have the G8F/G8M UV swapping utility so I could use textures for either gender. There's a lot of characters released in the DAZ store and I miss a lot of them.

Right now I'm converting the V4 texture to M4 so I can try using it with the M4 UVs for G8M utility I bought, but I'm not sure how it'll end up looking. And since it that utility uses geoshells I'm not even sure it'll work on 8.1...

Any suggestions welcome.

    +1  that is kewl lookin

    my first thought is to find a vascular map and color it black

    Try some of Fred Winkler's textures here, like maybe Clarice for G3 or even Liam for G3M or maybe Lorcan? Those three are similar "scary" type textures, but I don't think they have a cross on the forehead - however I'm pretty sure you know how to add that via photoshop brush, or LIE or something, either in postwork or on the texture itself. :)

    I feel as though I know something else that would suit too, but I can't for the life of me think of it....I'm seeing something similar in my head but can't recall name of vendor or anything LOL. 

    Is it the "creepy goth look" in particular you want, or more of a scary vampire type?

    There's SecondCircle's Rain for G3F which has a texture with black eyes and blood spatter on face and body.

    I keep thinking of @Jessaii - whether she's made something similar of would know of who had.

    If you already have the old V4 possessed textures set, then just take it into photoshop or GIMP and add that cross part to the torment texture and save a copy (for personal use) which would be the easiest option

    This is cool. Devilish Makeup for G8/8.1  And make your own cross for the forehead :)

    I believe this is what you are looking for. It's got the cross, at least.

    I did get the converted V4 texture to work with the M4 UVs for G8M -- but it doesn't work on G8.1M, which I kind of expected. :(

    What I'm playing with is a sort of otherwordly demon hunter character, not really a vampire or particularly gothy (I don't think?) A test run render below:

    I liked the overall look of the Possessed texture, which was why I was hoping I could get it on Torment. Looks like I'll have to do some postwork, though that Horica texture for G8F definitely has some possibilities. It's in my wishlist, thanks!

    Do this, but you might need to use Map Transfer to get the converted V4 to M4 UVs skin to G8.1M UV (which is what Torment uses.) Then blend them together with a photo editor. Otherwise, if you only do post work, then it might be inconsistent as opposed to using an already edited map.
