Khrys, Thanks for the sneak preview of Kaede.  Your attention to the subtle details of the Asian epicanthic folds has brought her beauty to a high state of perfection.  I really like the delicacy of her features.

3-DArena, thank you very much for taking an interest in my request.  It is difficult to find reference photos of realistic Asian faces since the movie and fashion industries tend to prefer the stereotyped Asian face that has very wide cheekbones and slanted small eyes with no upper eyelid folds.  I hope you will enjoy modeling V4 after Lin Chi-Ling.  Her beauty is truly exquisite.

Pointblank, thanks for letting me know.

Khrys, I did not realize most artists prefer to do both modeling and texturing.  In any event, I'm looking forward to seeing your cute Asian face-morph add-on for A4/V4 in RMP.  Again thanks for creating Akisu.  Her features are absolutely exquisite.

Khrys, Might I suggest that you team up with a texture artist for your next project?  You'll be able to devote all your time to modeling your exquisite Asian character, and your business partner will be able to devote all his/her time to creating the most realistic, silky smooth Asian skin texture.  The combined product will be OMG, a masterpiece.  Just a thought.

Thank you Khrys.  I have just purchased Akisu.  She truly is a Japanese beauty.  Your accurate modeling of the Asian upper eyelid folds was an impossible task for the less talented.  I really wish I had your talent.

She's very pretty although her eyes still look stereotyped.  She seems to have lost her upper eyelid folds.

Thanks for letting me know.  Yes I'm interested.  I will definitely purchase her, although I will not have a chance to experiment with rendering her until perhaps next weekend.  My full-time job has been keeping me way too busy.
  

Quote - Ok,
This is still an EXTREMELY early WIP that I started today. I still need to tweak shaders and bring the colors more in line with what it should be. I never really try to go for a single ethnicity so you might see more in her than just one type of ethnicity. Is this closer to what you were looking for though?

Yes.  She definitely looks Asian.  You are a very talented artist.  Her features are soft and lovely, although I would like to see more of her upper eyelid folds.  On many Asian faces in the Far East, the upper eyelid folds remain visible even though they do gradually recede into the inner corner of the eye. As an example, here's a photo of gorgeous actress Ziyi Zhang.  Note that her upper eyelid folds stay visible above her eyes.
 

Xilia looks very attractive.  Her features are softer, and I do see hints of Asian features.  I'm looking forward to seeing Xilia and equally attractive Asian characters in the Market Place in the near future.  Thanks for the "sneak preview" of Xilia.

Hello Violet and welcome to the Poser forum.  Would be nice to see some Oriental earings and necklaces as smart props for V4.
