This is actually game-related, but it's in the category of "things I want to know about the real world to flesh out my PC" than "how many elves can frolic on the head of a pin" so I came here.
I'm gearing up to play a mutant in a sci-fi game. One of his mutations is that his epidermis is relatively thin and translucent, enough that you can see major and some minor blood vessels near the surface, but not so much that you can see his muscle tissue and all that. I know that especially the distribution is smaller blood vessels varies from person to person, but I'm looking for some indicator of general patterns, especially around the face and hands.
Can anybody point me to an online resource, preferably with some kind of diagrams/maps/pretty pictures? My own knowledge of the circulatory system peters out somewhere around the aortic curve.
