Hi all, I've come to the conclusion that, like Don and Judy, Michael has a "look" that is difficult to get rid of. Unlike Don and Judy though, Michael is not ugly. I'd be interested to know whether anyone has had real success with this, and whether they would like to show off their artwork ? :) Just curious. regards, Andrew

I usually try to make my people look different from the "out of the box" versions. I've even made a character (for sale) that is pretty far from the "ordinary" Michael, he is used in [THIS](http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=290841) image (warning, that pic contains nudity) Also the pic here is technically Michael too, though enhanced with the help of Boris, the morph pack by Capsces. It is a VERY nice help if you want to "un-mike" Mike :o) Btw I don't think Don is ugly, and it's really a shame he is so neglected. Judy on the other hand.... *yeuck*

Hahaha....you sure have made Mike look ugly :) .... very effective, really looks amazing !

Dirk, That's true, but I think he still has Mike's eyes though. Ernyoka, I couldn't help myself, I went and purchased Boris :) Andrew

WHO are you calling ugly?! ;o) This one is Mike with only his own morphs applied. And a texture customized by me :o) Hair is from Kozaburo.

On second thought I MAY have used Boris for Darryl too (That's the name of that character...) I'm not sure. I don't think Mik's got that crooked nose by himself.

Here's a completely dial-tweaked character for Michael 2. NO custom morphs or magnets at all.

... And a close-up of the head...

Here's one Mike I made that people thought was a little un-Michaely

This was another one that's posted here at Ren. : ) "Scott" Dave

Here's a very basic render of a character from the animation I'm planning. He's all stock mike except the texture, which is nordic mike. I think he has a digfferent from mike look.

Most Michaels are fairly easy to spot, like these. One's a variation on Dr Sapien whose morph I found on a P4male with an early Mike head on it.

Heh that cowboy looks a bit like Lee van Cleef :o) Great character!

That's Dr Sapien, aged a little, some minor tweaks. Dr Sapien, as you recall, was a character in Wicked Wanda, a Playboy comic character. The other guy is a tourist in Hawaii from farther west.

Sorry I don't recall :o) I've never seen a Playboy IRL.

It was in ancient times, from the dawn of history, sometime in the Sixties. But, from the archives of Interpol, these images have just come in of blood relatives of the Michael Clan, known to pirates throughout the South China Seas, as the Chan Clan ..

Wow I'm lost for words, you really can disguise Mike :)

Have you seen Lynnes image? winning entry for the magazine contests, doesn't look like mike to me :)

No, haven't seen it, what was it called, and is it in the R'osity gallery. If so, what is the URL ?

You can see it at this link.

Here's some faces from my MikePlusPack for Michael 1. I'll soon be releasing an update with eye morphs that automatically reposition the eyes to fit, etc.

Standard Mike 2 morphs, with a texture I put together from photographs. Seems like the easiest way to 'un-mike' Michael is to put about fifty years on him :) - Graham

Graham (gps), I partly agree, but I think the eyes still give it away. That's a great texture, by the way. regards, Andrew
