This is pretty much me using the new Blender Cycles and seeing what the differant shaders did. It took me 10minutes with 500 passes.
The 2 Suzannes in front are my tests to see if there was a way to fake SSS in Cycles for skin. On the right you'll see my 1st attempt by mixing the Translucent and Velvet shaders with Translusent being dominant. On the left is my 2nd attempt and I think it looks better. I did an equal mix of Diffuse(R 0.8, G 0.664, B 0.547) and Translucent(R 0.6, G 0.06241, B 0.03949). I'm sure theres might be a better way for better skin, but for now I kinda like this.
