Translucency and flocking tests

I want to make sure my silicone is as much like real skin as possible so when it comes to painting it I already have a really good base tone and translucency. I also had access to several different shades of flock. Normally it is only necessary to have red, blue and yellow shades to create different variations and out of the samples I found in the studio, I only ended up using the short strand red flock to get the desired shade.
Here's my silicone test tiles (cast from an existing fastcast mould of some skin texture). From L to R: over-exaggerated red tone, light flock density, heavy flock density, under pigmented sample, first pigment test of A+B batch, second pigment test of A+B batch after changes.

The bottom right sample is the translucency that I went with in the end - I used a black spot drawn on a tongue depressor to test how translucent the silicone is compared to actual skin. A consistently effective method practiced by Neill Gorton. I added a medium dense mix of red flock which warmed up the tone some more. I'm happy with how it looks on the depressor and in the bucket so I'm now ready to start casting out parts...
