Honestly like all the criticism here, and they make sense.  As for the too many V4 (only) characters, I was comparing mine with "v4 only" characters, for example, Godin's V4 only "Robin" and "Elle", Seven's "Rosie" and "Brindie", etc... released about the time Tina Perez was.  The thing is, a LOT of girls in the Marketplace look the same, although vendors are starting to shy away from that.

However, I really have been wanting to know how to transfer face morphs to G2, and to create them as a morphs.  I don't have Blender and the likes, just DS4.7 & Poser9,  I create the face morphs from Ultra face morphs MR from RuntimeDNA, and I go very random and detailed when I create them..  Anyone have a link?  Now that G2 has young teen morphs, I don't need to create custom bodies.

On the minus side of G2, however, is that there are SO MANY morphs that are already installed (as you unzip the packages), that I imagine G2 is now taking a lot of time to even load.  That right there kinda yields me from doing characters for her.

Tina's lips are the "pouty" looking lips, idea from my cousin (who's name is Tina) and the cute girl on "Karate Kid 1".  I know some don't like it, even one of my RL friend didn't lol.

I agree about the promos, I should've showed some very up close renders for more details, maybe use other lightings as well (but I hate shadowless lights),

Prime, you have to be a top vendor to upload anything as Prime, that's Renderosity's biggest weapon against anyone who doesn't sell much (pun intended).  I was gonna do it but I found out I'm not qualified.

Textures, guess I need to work on that.

Thanks everyone for the criticisms, I've taken them to heart, and thanks a lot for the compliments on the morphs :)

Sorry, I wasn't suggesting you should be selling in the prime market, only that your characters are in competition to a fair few that are less that a third of the sale price of your character. Looking at the characters you have compared with one thing does jump out to me as a buyer.  All of the others have lots of close ups, of the eyes, the lips the face along with full length nudes.  In short it is very easy to see what you are getting for you money.  In addition there is a description of exactly what you get as regards the files included, I had to look in the 'read me' to get the same information for your product.  I know you have added a lot of the information on the promo pictures themselves but that does not work for me and personally I don't like the font used for those descriptions.  I also feel the wording detracts from the figure itself.  I now other vendors use similar methods but usually for props where i do not feel it detracts as much.

I stress these are all my personal views as someone who buys a lot of content, if no one else feel the same you can ignore me but if others do feel the same perhaps it is worth thinking about.  I would make the same comments no matter which figure was involved.  I am not a vendor in any way and the only reason I am being this critical is because you asked.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
