Moriador, his chest looks better in your render. Abs are a bit of a problem in both Dawn and Dusk. Glad he has a package of some kind. I prefer one that's visible with cloths on. For some reason the "Brothers" textures and morphs, also on sale, look a bit less effeminate. Rodney and Leroy though, lol? I choose to laugh. Good to see expressions built in and there are a number of morphs packs also available at release. That should make some people happy. I can see that a lot of hard work went into this and fully expect the community to fill in what's missing. Merry Christmas indeed.
I believe the base Dusk may have a couple of morphs to smooth/define the abs, though I can't remember whether that was before or after I tried injecting Dawn's starter morphs. They inject and even work -- but it seemed to have caused a bug that creates unremovable IK on the feet, so I don't think they were designed to be used on him. LOL. Just had a glimpse at the Brothers. The names do not fit the faces at all. :D One of them looks more east Indian to me than the names would suggest, but there's no reason a pair of mixed race brothers couldn't each favor one parent more than the other. Leroy seems way out of fashion to me. LOL. I'd probably want to rename him Larent or Laurence, since I really like the French inspired names Americans are fond of. In any case, they do look more masculine. The eyes particularly. A bit of a squint and different textures seems to take away that soft default adolescent "innocent" look. Maybe the darker skin helps to show a bit more muscular definition. Dusk does have built in expressions (well, you have to inject the base morphs), but it's a shame that the "parts" aren't really separated. As in, you can make an "angry" face, but the eye morphs for it aren't separate. There are a few separate mouth morphs, however. So it's a decent start. And anyone just testing the free base can at least make a render that doesn't have a totally expressionless look. So, yeah, he's good. A good, weight-mapped male. I do hope the community supports him. (And that the community also supports the vendors who do). AetherDream -- Nice! A real dreamy ginger!
