Description
As promised, this is my 'ethnic' character I mentioned yesterday. I was trying to capture Rhianna's look, but didn't quite get there. Still, she's far from the default V4 and quite pretty. I don't have any darker skinned textures, except the one that came with Grace from DAZ, and it's much too dark, and somewhat 'old' for use in P7. I'm not proficient enough in the Material Room to try to emulate Rhianna's skin tone.
I used the same skin texture and makeup from the TopModel Kit 1 and another color eye from Maxine/Sophie. The hair is, again, from Studio 11: Hikari. And the pose is from Aery Soul's Attitude Art package.
As before, this is all dial-spinning, using photo refs from the net. I tried to find one of her in profile, but wasn't successful and those that came close weren't large enough (for me anyway).
This was harder to do than Cleo, since I was using a real person and trying to come as close as I could. Not sure I'd really call this 'ethnic', but I know absolutely nothing about Rhianna and her heritage, except that I think she's quite pretty and I wanted to see if I could do this.
So..this is Rhea...I hope you like her.
Thanks for stopping by! :D

You're right! She is beautiful! it is so nice to see you posting your work again~ Hope this means things have "settled down" a bit :) hugs, Vikki
MadameX
Thanks, Vik! No..things haven't really settled down; we are finally going to be moving out this coming weekend. Won't have internet for a short bit, til cable gets installed. No phone for a while either. God willing, within a month, things will all be sorted once we get away from here.

I don't know much about Poser or any of the other people-makers, but I have noticed a vast number of mono-ethnic default settings, as if the assumption is that all people are pink and that no one would ever bother to desire rendering a brown skinned person! Ah, culture-based assumptions! They're as wonderful as dyptheria, though not quite as fun. But anyway, enough ranting! I really like this and you did capture a certain Rhiana-ness in this character, though she also reminds me of a friendly version of the character, Servalan, from the British sci-fi tv series, Blake's 7. Needless to say, I really liked that element of this image, as well as the overall image itself. I love her playful expression and her French Manicure pointing playfully at the viewer. She looks as if she's in the middle of a dance...the kind performed by one of those Orion Slave Girls from the Star Trek universe, only she isn't green and exuding male-controlling hormones. Oh well, ya can't have everything, I suppose. And now, I've revealed just how big a Star Trek nerd I am, since I mentioned those green dancing ladies!
MadameX
Ho! I remember the green dancing ladies myself, Chip! And to really date myself, I saw the first airing of that episode (along with all the rest of the original series); it was one of my favorite shows growing up. I liked the others, too, with DS9 and Voyager topping that list. As for pink people...lol...at the time I did this render, I wasn't financially able to get a nice darker skinned texture. As I said, I had Grace from DAZ, but that texture was very dark, and an older texture (I'd used it in another render and it didn't look very well. Not to mention, my old pc just didn't like it when I tried to render anything, much less an image of any kind of quality. Add to that, I was still learning poser and the Material Room was a very scary place for me. I appreciate you taking the time to check out my gallery, Chip! Thanks so much for stopping by!
