I've never seen a convincing looking pre-teen figure until I came across Leo and Bryan for G8.1 male over at Renderhub.

Both faces and body are perfect. They neither look cartoonish nor are they just crudely scaled down adult figures.

Of course ANY Poser figure can be sculpted into any shape with the right tools and talent, but so far these two are  the only figures that make me believe that the artist put in some real effort, instead of creating a child morph as an mere afterthought.

Too bad there are no matching girl figures.

I also abstained from using / converting Genesis 8 in Poser so far, but excellent sculpts like this make it harder every day to stay a "Poser Purist".

I think it's time to visit the Dark Side again.
