Not so much as a request as a "hey, need some help finishing this one", but here goes.
I'm relatively new to the whole morphing scene, and while I've gotten the hang of making bellies from existing skin, every time I try to add one in, in particular to airbrushed models, I can never get the belly to match their skin! So, could someone please help?

Thanks!

There's a palette in Photoshop that you can adjust skin tones between layers.  A morpher who is more skilled can explain it better than I, but the tools do exist.

You're EXTREMELY close. The most notable thing is that the sourced belly is of a lot different quality than your model. Matching the skintones isn't too hard, but when the two are that dissimilar, it's hard to sell the match.

In conclusion, two friendly suggestions:

Dig through a gallery featuring hi-quality pregnant ladies and find one posing in a similar pose. (I hate it when they wrap their arms around the belly, makes it impossible to use; but sorry, digressing.) Also remember that it's easier to degrade an image to match than it is to try and make something shot with a phone camera look like studio photography.

And Secondly, apply a Curves Adjustment Layer to just the belly layer. (If you Alt-click between them, your cursor becomes an arrow that will make the Curves into a slave, which means you can color-match to your heart's content without doing any permanent changes) With the curve, change the top setting from RGB to just Red, if the belly needs more red, or just Blue if the belly is too warm or too cool. By pulling the Blue curve downward, you introduce more yellow, which tends to be what 99% of the bellies I've shopped have needed.

This was super verbose. If I've talked over you too much, please message me, I can break it down better.

Angelus and Badmojo - Thanks so much for the tips! After finding a new belly and getting it in position and then lots of layering and blending (and a ton of bright pink), I think I have something that looks sellable!

Excellent work.  Also, great use of model, I love Jessica Nigri.

A tip: Shadows.  I know this is one of your first and for your first, it's a great job, but a big thing you need to be mindful of is shadows and how the light hits.

One thing I've noticed with pregnant morphs is that sometimes, doing a face swap or headswap might be easier than a belly swap or manipulating what's there.

Personally, I'd like to see what can be headswapped or changed with this photo.

(Score photo removed)
Sorry, but our "no unmorphed photos" agreement with Score doesn't permit any exceptions.
Fortunately, badmojo is fast as well as skillful.

She is wearing the most difficult blouse I have seen in a long time.

a. Because of the grain of the low-res pic.

b. Because it's covered in spots.

Here it is, as far as what I could do with it.

Mojo, if you are looking for some pregnant splicing material, both Kendra Wilkinson and Busy Phillips got enormously pregnant.

Heres a Kendra.
