Nearly all my renders are part of stories, done in I suppose a typical firefly "semi-realistic" style, ie not really toons but nobody could mistake them for photos. As such I like to use as wide a range of figures as possible. Trying to just use Victoria 4 or Dawn for example to me would feel like trying to cast a film with just one actress wearing different wigs and makeup (and a little cgi jiggery-pokery to change her figure a bit). Personally I like the Smith Micro g2 figures (Sydney, Simon etc, not to be confused with the DAZ genesis 2 figures) due to the wide range of clothing available that can be used in a fantasy setting.
