Quote - Much harder now to find content for my favorite Figures since Dawn is out. All vendors seem to focus on Dawn. Good for her fans , very bad for me. I had several attemps to become "friends" with Dawn, but no way. She looks way to much old DAZ-2001 to me. Her Head, hips and Leg shapes could be something like a Victoria 2.5 .  I like the torso grouping, but cutting her Head in two is a  no go sacrileg.

Quote - I think I see a more vendors slowly trying out Genesis than Dawn. Not a flood of desertions, just a kind of a gradual drift. Daz is giving the software and basic figures away, and people are trying it out.

Unfortunately, it's because now that Dawn is out, the main marketplaces are shoving her down our throats even though only 2% of people use her.  If your item isn't for Dawn as well as the other more popular figures, you can't even get accepted unless you're a top vendor.  It's a great way to alienate not only your current & future vendors, but your clients as well.  It hurts your sales & reputation in the end.  It makes me not want to even shop at these places so I just stop giving them my money unless it's for a figure I DO use, which isn't Dawn.  Personally, I think Dawn is fugly.

At this point, it makes me want to go back to modeling props instead of what I like modeling, dynamic clothes & accessories.  I feel my creativity is stifled by the multiple marketplaces' desire to force people over to a new figure by forcing out potential vendors who don't like Dawn & will probably never 'want' to use her.  If I ran my Real business this way, I'd be out of business pretty quick.  You have to have variety because not everyone is going to like or want a new shiny figure. 

Have a creative day!
