Was rereading deltas and saw this image in drop 196
(Incase it does not embed above, here the link)
Look at the Y head.
Closely.
Now realize, that the mask is partially transparent, and that the camera flash shows the face underneath.
Then reconcile with the surrounding drops:
Click the image. Zoom in.
See through the mask.
WITAF are we even looking into the face of?
Public release of the image was a mistake -Q
In think the gold effect your are seeing is the result of flash photography coupled with caked on makeup containing "sparkles". There are many luxury brand makeup that include gold, silver, pearl ground up in the make up to cater to whatever fantasy people who can afford that stuff have. It is supposed to reduce wrinkles and make your face radiant.
Id imagine the gold is applied, but as Q said, 'skin of the gods'..
If that's a non human, it might be skin that has a gold appearance
