In the picture I've attached, you can see the TY2 character - no matter how hard I try, I can't make the A3 look even close to that. TY represents more adult manga style, that could be found in the works of Sho-u Tajima, while A3 is more of a younger character.

Perhaps some of You know and can guide me to an A3 character in more adult manga style?

I'm not looking for another Bel-Bel or Aiko's that are made to look more 'human', but something along the lines of FFVIII characters (like Rinoa?).

Thank you in advance ;)

Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, the TY2 character in the picture is morphed and textured by me and is wearing hair from Maya (found in GQ Girl Rio set).

a rare gem actually!!!

I might actually have some morphs like that. I'll have to check

FightingWolf - thank You, I would be really gratefull. You've managed to make Aiko look really beautiful in Your gallery, especially in the last two images.

The picture shows the comparison of the two figures. Aiko is with VOLTS morph and texture (and eyes from Tiff's package)

I checked some of the images from my gallery and I think my Kalia character may be the closest that I have for the style you are looking for.  These were created with Aiko3. (all of my images were created with aiko3 for that matter).  They are actually the exact same Kalia Model. The only difference is the realism setting and the elf ears.

I'll make a few renders of the Kalia character to see if it is closer to the adult manga style that you are looking for. 

Ok Ariah.  I have some good news and some bad news.  The good news is that I was able to create an adult manga character using Aiko3.  I was correct about my Kalia elf character being close to a manga style character. I only had to put the ears back to normal and adjust the nose a little, but nothing major.

The bad news is that so far I'm only able to get one texture and lighting to work with it.  I And it's not exactly the same look as the one you used as an example.  I tried to use a similar texture color and it only made the character look like a zombie.  Oh yeah the character is very beautiful and I'm having second thoughts about posting here.  As far as I know there's nothing in renderosity like it.

I'm working on a scene for this character.  I should have a complete version of this image in the gallery within 12 hours.  

Oh I forgot to put this link.  The only texture that I was able to get to work  with the Manga Aiko came from this character.  http://www.daz3d.com/i.x/shop/itemdetails/-/?item=3776&cat=147

Great! I'm looking forward to seeing it, then!

Ok Ariah. I finally posted the image in the Gallery so now I will put my original 1st try.

Oh yes, FightingWolf!

That is one of the best looking Aiko's I have seen - reminds me very much of the works of such manga artists as Leiji Matsumoto!
