looks good, especially for a new figure. suggestions? hmm... well, what i suggest could be accomplished with morphs i suppose. id thin the arms down a bit, they look a little too beefy for anime, and in proportion to her legs and torso. also, id round her breasts more. they look a little flat and conical, as opposed to the little rounded spherical ones you see in anime. cheers, -gabriel

"id thin the arms down a bit, they look a little too beefy for anime, and in proportion to her legs and torso. also, id round her breasts more. they look a little flat and conical, as opposed to the little rounded spherical ones you see in anime." Where do people get these ideas? It's probably because so many animes in the last 10 years have featured overly developed prepubescent girls. :( Anime is a medium.... but even as a sub Genre of that medium Japanese animation has many many styles with every type of body style you can imagine. From very realistic to ridiculously stylized. Every character designer and manga artist have a unique style. Though certain common features often but don't always appear. If I was gonna pick 2 features that I said were quintessentially anime it would be large eyes (varrying from slightly large to huge) and disproportionately long legs...anything else varies tremendously from artist to artist. (The legs are more of an 80s thing though... :)) Sorry about this I've just seen these types of comments one too many times. BTW The character looks great. Very authentic (Unlike Aiko which suffers from the type of misconceptions about anime that many non fans seem to have.) will she be commercial? I'd probably buy her IF she comes with enough morphs to create a few different characters.

BTW those chunky fleshy anime character designs were all the rage in the 80s. See Toshihiro Hirano, and Haruhiko Mikimoto's designs.

"Sorry about this I've just seen these types of comments one too many times." jesus. he asked for opinions, i gave mine. i wouldnt exactly call myself an anime expert, but i have seen quite a few and i did collect anime art a while ago. im entitled to my opinion without someone jumpin' down my throat for it, k? ...especially if someone asks for it. i didnt say it was bad - i said i liked it. my suggestions were what I would do. and again, he could accomplish it with morphs (like i suggested) and make everyone happy. cheers, -gabriel

Really? You collected anime art? I thought you hated anime, Gabriel? ;) Ascii - I think its looking pretty nice. Just make some of the shapes a little more 'sensitive' maybe. :) Love the elf ears, but then I've got this thing for them. Mmm... elf ears. Jennifer

yeah... mainly the darker stuff though (masamune shirow), none of the cutesy, bubbly, pink and fluorescent lime green crap that reminds me of the powerpuff girls. i do like the character. the main thing that stands out to me is that the breasts seem a little too conical in shape... they also kindof remind me of posette's breasts in that theyre not totally round, they seem to square off a touch. id work on them with some morphs to get a more organic shape. if you provide me with the exported chest section of the model i can create a quick morph target for ya to illustrate what i mean. cheers, -gabriel

Sorry If I came off too harsh. Basically as long as there are a few different morphs everyone should be happy.

is it finished yet? is it finished yet?
