I decided what the hey... I'd work on creating a male character (yeah, it's more fun to play with the ladies, but you're not going to grow much as an artists if you only look at what you enjoy.) Anyhoo, I discovered that Mike needs some morphage - badly. for starters, not all guys have a huge blunt chin (I sure as hell don't...) The nose is also missing morphs that I kinda got used to on Vicky (narrowing that bridge all the way down to the nostrils for starters; not just up at the eyes.) This is a WIP so far of what I got done... I call it "The Timothy Project" No texturing at all yet, and I'm also looking to either find a Mike ponytail hairdo, or to adapt Kozaburo's if needs be. So; while I'm at it, what kind of guys do y'all want to see? /P

image 2 to show a little more of what's gone down so far...

PS... anything to bring the ears forward a bit? Heh - Guess I got three magnets to work on building... :) /P

It'd be nice if you can get rid of his boobs. And a morph that allows him to suck in and/or extend his gut (and look realistic). Lee's Muscle Morphs do those things perfectly for the dork, but no one has done it for Mike (that I know of).

Something like this for the chest. You know, flat, like most men's.

I think you're doing a damn fine job! He actually looks like a normal guy instead of some character out of a superman comic! I'd like to see a morph to lift his chin a little, make the distance betwen the bottom of his lower lip and the tip of his chin a bit smaller. It doesn't need much but all poser characters seem to suffer from the huge chin problem. And the ears do look a little far back in this render. Looking realy good so far though. Baz

I thought Mike II did all of this stuff

I think he looks good so far. Oh, and as for "being more fun to play with the ladies," that depends on one's perspective. As a woman, I find it more fun to play with Michael. LOL Jackson, who is that CUTIE??? Melanie

he kinda reminded me of a younger billy crystal when i first glanced at him. he looks cute.

Tankred: I'm using Mike 2; no dice on the needed morphs. :/ Cinnamon - heh... not sure about what determines 'cute' for a guy... but that's part of why I wanted to work with Mike in the first place... to create guys that both sexes can look at and think of as normal/'cute'/etc... basically something with a personality, but at the same time a character you'd more likely see at a mall than in a temple wearing bearskin and waving a sword around :) Jackson - yeah, I hear you there... boobs = bad for a guy. I think I may be able to shove over some of Stephanies breast morphs through, and modify Mike's chest a bit (morphs that lift the breast, ferinstance.) Hmm - Come to think of it - there's a lot of Steph's morphs that just may work, since they're basically the same mesh, I think. (Dunno about facial morphs, though. Worth a shot... 'specially for the chin.) Thanks to everyone for the input; I'll be chipping away at this one over the next few days/weeks/etc... mostly as a learning experience. /P

The image in post 5 is Mike 2? Goodness, I'd have thought this was a real person just glancing over it.

Thanks for the effort, Pengy. And ladies: why that's me, of course. Okay so it ain't me, but 15 years ago it was. I don't know who this guy is. I saw the pic whilst browsing a public relations site for Canada.

hi TJ, you might want to try morphmaster in freestuff, its an excellent util for specific morph targets, and very user friendly. cheers stu.

tbenner, that is a photo. It looks like an ad layout or something. Melanie
