It's for Miki4 and it's being used in the Frills and Lace promo.
The Miki4 on the right is the one I want to know about but the one in the middle is a nice face too, any ideas?
Thanks!

Uhm, they would all be Miki 4. lol. She had two face shapes if I recall. Default Miki and then Miki4. This is Miki 4. Deecey can confirm or deny this though. She's the one who did the render.

Actually, she had more than two face shapes now that I think on it really but you want the one I believe I meant when I said that.
So crack open Miki 4. Go to the Miki4Morphs section of her face morphs. Look for the very first morph in that list: Miki4 Head Morph. Turn it on. Add some hair. Have a blast. :) If you need to, there are additional morphs in the FACE section of her head morphs. The Old morph and the Anime. You could blend either of those into the mix also if you want. It will help immensley if you add one of the makeup texture thingies that Miki 4 had. The eyelash texture is super thin by default and that texture helps make them look better.

I'm pretty certain that is the Miki4 face morph but with a different texture. I'll see if I can find the project file I used to confirm.

I do know for certain that I started with the Miki 4 head morph that you can find by selecting the head, and then going down to the Miki 4 Morphs section. Dial the Miki4 Head Morph to 1.
Then I might have just played with the Eyes, Nose, and Mouth morphs to change it up a bit. For example, I might have used the UpperLidsUp and LowerLidsUp (this one set to negative) to make the eye shape look a little rounder, and the LipsBig and BigBottom to plump up the lips a little. (None of these morphs are set to any higher than .5, I just tweaked them until I got a shape that was pleasing).
And then the texture is one of the "Asian Beauties" textures by Virtual_World that were originally created for Miki 3, but the textures also work on Miki 4 (lots of options there for eye color and makeups). They are available here in the Marketplace. I also applied snarly’s EZ Skin afterward.
The hair that I used was Fable Hair by As Shanim (now known as Aery Soul, but I looked here and at RDNA and it doesn't look like it is available any more ... one of my long time favorites).
Here's a quick render using just those morphs and extras that I described above. Add a slight smile and tweak the lighting and I think it comes real close to that character in the promo. The character in the middle may have been similar settings, but just a different selection from the Asian Beauties to change it up a little.
Miki 4 is still one of my favorite SM characters!

I made a quick test render to see how the miki4 face morph looks, I really like it! D:
Though it's like 70% Miki4 face morph and 30% of the Patrizia, the majority of it is from you.
