Hrm... I wonder. If Dina had what most here consider a "pretty" and "feminine" form, would she be more readily accepted? If her facial features were more delicate, instead of perhaps hardened by one of her apparent lines of work perhaps, female wrestling/fighting? If she were a bit less muscular? Again, probably the product of wrestling/fighting. I can definately tell that the model is actually the woman shown in the photographs. The reason the real living breathing woman appears "pretty" is that she has had an excellent photographer work to catch her from just the right angle, has a glamourous pose and her hair is blowing in the wind in a very fetching way, has her makeup done just so, etc. But they are the same woman. So I guess what I am trying to determine is this. If there were beautiful characters made for Dina, such as characters of great beauty have been made for Vicki, such as SMV, Saluda, and others, would Dina then be considered to be a worthwhile purchase? From what I have been able to tell, without having the real model to work with at all, she whoops all over Vicki on realism of the joints, and ability to pose her without breakage there. Must be Dina's fighting spirit and those shoulders ;p The high polygon count, though it is somewhat wasted in certain areas, such as for instance perhaps the little toe (I mean how many little toe morphs does one ever see or need), and in the flat areas of the body such as the broad flat muscle areas of the calf perhaps, these places, they could have used a lower polygon count too. Ok, granted, she is high polygon, but you know, she is a morph artists dream girl come true. What could you not do with her in time, and with extreme skill and patience? :) There are those of us out here who have this level of skill and patience, you know.
