Sorry for the delays on this. Things have been kinda of chaotic...to say the least. He was originally made by adapting my La Femme girl, Fifi, to LHomme. Unfortunately, that also means he inherited a few of her issues. At the time, LHomme was also transitioning to a standalone figure and some things got lost in the shuffle.

The good news is that I've recently made progress on the issues with La Femme, as you may have noticed from the pics with my freebies. Once I get Félicie's aging morph settled, I'll work on transferring my setup to LHomme. At least that's the plan anyway.

Fifi's morph could do age 9 to 18, where as Félicie is proportioned on Maddie's age. I just need to handle the transition from her age up to 9 and incorporate her changes into the original Fifi morph to complete the age range. Yep, Félicie's new morph will go from around 5 all the way to 18! It's a little complicated... It suffices to say there are good reasons why few have managed anything close to that with Poser figures.

I don't know if I'll get as far with LHomme, age wise, but I had a good start last time.  What I'll learned from Félicie will help considerably. :D There there's still a practical limit on how far I can go though. I couldn't make Félicie much younger without considerable re-rigging to keep the joints from breaking. It's technically possible, but morph controlled joints and all that is beyond me.

As for the timeline, it's...soon. My schedule for Félicie has already slipped and lately I've been banging out freebies in hopes of at least placing in the contest. I'm still stuck on Poser 11 and really need to upgrade for testing and development. The only reason I got as far as 11 was because I won it in a contest.
