Hi,
So I recently started making some textures (only tattoos so far) and most of them have been working pretty well,
but for my current project part of the tattoo is a design that runs from just below the earlobe down and towards the front of the neck and collarbone.
The problem I'm having is that the part that goes in the head/face space on the UV map template looks perfectly fine, but cuts off too early. The lower parts of my design have to go in the neck region of the
body area. I've gotten okay tattoos done on the upper neck (in the face space of the UV map) and around the shoulder / collarbone areas, but the actual side and front of the neck just gives me a grainy blurry mess.
I don't know the proper terminology I guess but I feel like that part of the map is just too small to get any decent level of detail going? Like the space on the UV map that gets mapped to that area is just too small?
I have seen CC by others that included very highly detailed tattoos in this area. I was wondering if there's any trick that I should be using and I'm not aware of?
Can I somehow use the necklace/choker space? Would it help if I just scaled the entire texture up by a factor of 2x or 3x before saving and importing into S4S?
Here's a screen capture of what the situation looks like in S4S and in ClipStudio to illustrate what I mean:

Any advice for this struggling newbie?
