most any human shaped base mesh can be modified to look just about any way you want it to, provided there is enough geometry to work with, which there is in all the poser figures. the level of attractiveness is only determined by the skill and time dedication of the artist.

I'm sure Gabe is a confident enough artist to know before he even started, that he could make Alyson look great, it was just a matter of whether he wanted to bother with it or not. Which obviously, he wanted to. 

I could have pulled Lucas out of Ryan's mesh, and he would already be done and available for everyone to use. I chose not to because it's not my mesh and I just don't want to waste my time working on someone else's mesh that I can't modify to my liking. I have plans for Lucas beyond this innitial stage that I can't do with someone else's mesh because I don't have the licensing it would require.
