But the fact is that the Tiny Nose - Big lips is apparently what sells.

I once tried (OK it was aeons ago, back when it was V2/M2) to make "real people" - my Gertrude and Frank characters were.. well ordinary L And far from any model material (I have a render depicting them both HERE (opens in a new window)) 

Problem is.. they never sold any. Well yes a few, and curiously, Frank sold a lot better than Gertrude. Seems people can deal with "realistic" males, but prefer their females to be more ... fantasy (uh-oh that doesn't bode well for my upcoming product btw L)

So it's a conundrum. Much like the repeated requests for "ordinary clothes" - people do want it - but not enough. Or not enough people want it or whatever. Bottom line is: "Everyday" stuff sells nada. And given the time and effort it take to create a proper character with morphs and textures and all these days... well.. if it doesn't sell, it's not worth the effort, no matter how much the vocal minority might want them :)

And don't get me wrong. 95% of my renders consists of "ugly" people, because those are what interests me. I want real looking, fat/thin, ugly, assymetrically looking folks in my renders. Perfection is BORING. So I mostly make my own character morphs these days (OK yes.. I morph anything into Severus Snape... ) and I like that. 

For my latest thing I used the 3D Celebrity Lola for V4 btw. A proper OLDER lady, with proper textures AND jowls ect. I then went and made her into an older, OVERWEIGHT woman L but .. well that was because it suited the product. (and I hope I'm not accused of advertizing anything.. I won't post a link here for that very reason, although I'll be happy to do so in a PM, should anyone be interested)
