Now that I have found out how not to do it (see above) I am currently
re-rendering at various settings to see which comes out best. I'll post the
comparisons when I am done.

One of my problems now might be trying to create a non-human skintone. Human
skin is instantly recogniseable, and we know it when we see it. Non-human skin
is going to be harder. I expect this to take me some time to get right (if I
ever do).
