lol i started a fire!  is it a coincidence that all anime/cartoon/cinematic beauties are similar?  hell no it's not.  not really anything to argue there

it's not that V4 starts out UGLY so much that it is V4 starts out masculine.  since she is a female 3D character, myself and the clients i do artwork and ecovers for, clearly prefer her to be as un-manly as possible.  since her mesh is in my opinion far superior to V3, i find the head and face  part a frustrating roadblock- my regular job now requires mass production of renders and she is the latest and greatest-  really need to figure her out.

i did notice the Pretty version IV pack in the marketplace, and it looks like a really good take on V4.  i do personally think out of the box matters, because the farther away you have to start from your goal, the harder it is.  V3 starts closer to pretty than V4.  V4 looks like a thug out of the box and i got my work cut out for me.
