crossposted this to Kory’s thread for her new Celestial poses, cos she had the PERFECT pose in there that I wanted to use with Xiao Wen as soon as I saw her. LOL.

And I’m gonna say it again - truly one of the most beautiful face morphs for genesis I’ve seen lately; even my husband did a double take when I was playing with her. I had to whack him upside the head to stop him drooling! LOL.

I’m still downloading and reinstalling all my content on the new laptop , so this is just a quickie cos I keep remembering stuff I need to install. LOL

I mightily considered it… but it bothered me that the promos lacked pics of all the makeups, eye colors and eye reflections.  It’s super hard to buy something when you can’t see a lot of what you’re getting. :( :( :(

But my goodness Jakiblue, you make me wish I had her… sigh.

i know what you mean belovedalia, I’m the same way. But there was something about her face in the first promo that just sucked me in straight away.

I’m at the point now with characters, that I don’t buy any characters at all that only have “normal” makeups - as in, ordinary eyeshadows and lipsticks. And if i can’t see all the different textures in promos, I don’t buy. Fantasy or sci fi or geisha or goth makeups will get me every time. Which is why I surprised myself by buying Xiao - and i’m really glad I did.

the textures truly are excellently done - i’m VERY happy with them. I would LOVE to see a texture add on for her tho, with some fantasy type makeups….*grin* I’d never stop using her if there was. LOL

She is still on sale tho, and I can post pics of the makeups and eye colours and reflections for her if it’d help you make up your mind. *grin*

Out of curiosity, which UVSet are the textures made for?

The textures are Victoria 5 UV-based.

You are correct on this.

Well, I could never resist the temptation to get bundles so I grabbed the Dragon Princess outfit and jewels while I was browsing earlier. That quite literally finishes my collection of the new Eastern style releases. I have no regrets, they’re gorgeous.

I got her too! She is just tooooo lovely!
Still working on my render, but I love her morph and her textures.

P.S. Jaki: what outfit is that? Please?

Playing around with some new stuff:  Xiao Wen V5, the collar-piece from Scarlet fG, Dark Moods for Genesis‘n’Night Moves, Pure Hair Wild, and the Supersuit with a couple of the bundled shader presets.

I didn’t use any of the reflection map options so the eyes must be reflecting the skysphere, maybe too much.  Aside from that really loving this character!

DS4.5Pro render, postwork in GIMP.  Larger version in my deviantART gallery here.
 
Xiao Wen - Eyes Above

Kerya - it looks like the Jazlyn outfit in Jakiblue’s pic.

That’s really cool, Kickair - she makes a good badass!

That portrait really reminds me of Kristen Kreuk.

This is Xiao Wen, rendered in Reality. (See here for a list of other content used).

The Jazlyn top - sorry, I totally missed seeing this! :D

Thanks for the answers!
Wishlisted, as I am out of money. LOL
