My, he looks surly. I'm very excited, but trying to pin down what makes him different....

Possibly 'surly' and kind of scrawny is it? http://www.daz3d.com/fwsa-oscar-hd-for-lucian-7 looks like he'd like to personally chew somebody's face off.

    My first impression is sort of an alternate M7: same sort of generic medieval and some model poses bundle, but very different looks (David 5?) I like the look of the base model, and Corbin also stands out a lot (Damon??)

     

    Daz really worked hard on this description:

    Hah! I didn't even read that, but I guess that sort of explains all the animal-type poses he's got?

    I actually have a character named Corbin, associated with ravens, in my books, who kind of looks exactly like that. So, well, I will be getting this... as soon as I figure out how much it'll cost me.

    What bothers me is that they probably spent weeks combing over every detail of the promos and having them redone in various ways, yet couldn't even be bothered writing a sentence or looking at it more than once for the text.

    But then it's just enough text to make you wonder if there's some sort of a story there.

    Yeah, very similar to Michael with a slightly more chiselled facial structure. Looks more interesting with the Ivan hybridisation, however.

    Nothing wrong with that, of course, but weren't we informed this character was going to surprise us in some way? Not at all sure what the description about vampirism alludes to. Perhaps a coming character morph?

    At some point in history (presumably in medieval times) Lilith catches him and makes him her servant (or Servant?). "Corbin" is his current form, as he loiters around finding victims for his mistress and cleaning up her leftovers. I expect she had to resurrect him at some point and because she's only a fallen demon goddess he now requires blood to sustain his half-life. You can tell he's not entirely happy about this but after all his crimes? A half life is better than none.

    I was wondering if he's suppose to be Lilith's counterpart lol

  • mrposermrposer Posts: 1,134

    Great backstory Dreamfarmer!! ..... "cleaning up her leftovers"..... I already imagine dozens of renders.

    But I thought Lilith was a succubus - Arabella is the vampire.

  • I hate this. Being only interested in poses and one character, and absolutely disliking all clothes and hairs, this is killing me:

    1) A la carte:
    - Corbin = 8.80
    - Lucian 7 = 22.03
    - ZI MD Expressions for L7 = 11.17*0.9 = 10.05
    - Z Volatile Poses = 7.82
    ----------------------
    Total: 48.70

    2) Starter bundle:
    - Starter bundle = 44.08
    - ZI MD Expressions for L7 = 11.17*0.8 = 8.96
    - Z Volatile Poses = 7.82
    -----------------------
    Total: 60.86

    3) Pro Bundle
    - Pro Bundle = 66.13
    - ZI MD Expressions for L7 = 11.17*0.6 = 6.71
    -----------------------
    Total: 72.84

     

    Question: Is one extra character and a bunch of not-so-happy-about clothes packs and hairs worth 20 dollars?

    Just checked out with option 2 - the starter bundle. It might be a glitch, but the starter bundle became 35.26 dollars for me instead of promised 44.08 (PC+ price).

    Cheeks, lips, nose...eyes.... I see much Johnny Depp in him.... Do you, too?

  • Oh, crap.... Can't they just put those banners up early....

    Means if I recalculate it will be:

    1) A la carte:
    - Corbin = 8.80
    - Lucian 7 = 22.03*0.9 = 19.87
    - ZI MD Expressions for L7 = 11.17*0.9 = 10.05
    - Z Volatile Poses = 7.82
    ----------------------
    Total: 38.19

    2) Starter bundle:
    - Starter bundle = 44.08*0.8 = 35.26
    - ZI MD Expressions for L7 = 11.17*0.8 = 8.96
    - Z Volatile Poses = 7.82
    -----------------------
    Total: 52.04

    3) Pro Bundle
    - Pro Bundle = 66.13*0.7 = 46.29
    - ZI MD Expressions for L7 = 11.17*0.6 = 6.71
    -----------------------
    Total: 53.00

    Which makes the Pro Bundle only one dollar more. That much I'm definitely willing to pay. *Sigh* I guess it's ticket time...

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    LOL! I saw that and just went...."huh??"

    I wonder if that means he gets an "add on" with vampire morphs/mats....cos as it is, he just looks.....normal. Nothing about him is grabbing me at all. He kinda just looks like a normal character add on for one of the base figures.

    yep, there's a message there. The orange banner pop up isn't triggering, but I've got the message in my dashboard.

  • This prabably the first pro bundle I have seen in the entirely of Genesis 3 where 100% of its content is useful, no lemons.  I know what I will be buying come saturday. 

    While Lucien is prabably meant to be Liliths partner, to me he definitly looks to be Arabella's Man.

     

    The highlights for me are:  

    Characters

              Both are good, Corbin looks great. Oscar is good but think Oscar will be better than the promo art once we get a diffrent hairstyle on him.

    Hair: 

              Both look good, this is an area I am starved in for my G3 males, and they are both good for my Medieval fantasy renders.

    Outfits

              All are good, but to me the selling points are the Chevalier Armor and the Huntsman Outfit.  Excellent armor for your warriors and rogues.  Armor is another area G3M is starved so these are  defenitly needed additions to the G3M linup.

    Poses: 

              To me this is the weak spot, Excelent poses but they dont exactly support the bundle well.  Once we get a Vampire teeth morph for him then all is good for the poses.  We are either missing the vampire teeth morph or the poses are just the typical daz this is cool but make no sense with the bundles flavor motif.  While they dont support the bundle well, they are worth getting as I can see use for them.

    Looks like a great figure and the Pro Bundle comes with four outfits and one of them is modern.

  • LinwellyLinwelly Posts: 6,055

    I would have liked to see him in a bit more movement, the Lucian itself is basically one pose once the arm lifted and once at the hip front and back side once closer once whole body. Had to look through the poses they sell with him to get a better impression.

    Generally I like him only his chest regions looks a bit odd.

    Oh for crying out loud, Daz need to get better at making those appear with the products if they're going to do secret offers like that.

    That said, it is a really nice offer (both in value and well thought out.)

    He is, if you look at the "Related Products" below him, you'll see Lilith 7 and her bundles.

    But in actuality, Lucian looks like he's caught in a love triangle with her and Arabella.

  • What is the hair in the promo for Z Intensify Expressions for Lucian 7? Is that the Dax hair in the Oscar and Vampire Executioner Outfit promos, not bad  Something weird about the pants in the Leather Style outfit.  Gonna get him not really bowled over through.  Still waiting for the Monique and Darius

     

  • And there was the "hint hint new charachter about to come out" gift card offer yesterday that leads to even more savings (especially if you could get the 16% offer). Interesting enough to pick up the Pro bundle with all the discounts.

  • FSMCDesignsFSMCDesigns Posts: 12,843

    No interest whatsoever in the figure (male), but the leather outfit and vampire hunter one look pretty cool.

    Looks like an angry pouty mean-faced Johnny depp. Very odd choice to me for a new figure line. Was there a shortage of this type of character?  Also odd looking eyebrows.

    At any rate, have no interest in the quasi-goth medieaval outfits. One of the hairs looks like it was designed for a Lee 7 (reminds me of sai fon hair) and looks quite a bit like existing hair. The other looks like a female bob. In fact when I saw the hairstyle on lucian, I thought he was an older woman,. 

    This looks like an odd hodge podge of content thrown into a male bundle. Was this all specifically designed to compliment Lucian? Cause aside from the outfits, which have a goth look, I just don't see a theme or method to this set... And what is with that scowl. Holy cow, at least give him some wrinkles if he's going to have that constant constipated look.

    I admit I'm disapppointed.

  • I'll admit, it's quite nice to have a blatant attempt at a less ripped "pretty boy" character, but I'm not too keen on the goth theme, even if he's Lillith's late-to-the-party companion character, lmao.

    I think, he looks ok and the included character morphs will add to the diversity of Genesis 3 gene pool.

    I personally can't get enough of attractive pretty men. Lucian just seems kinda odd to me. Bodyshape isn't something that new, and strange face.   The genesis 3 female line has many hot attractive women, and since there are fewer male counterparts, I look forward to the bundles to provide things we aren't getting so much of. Unfortunately, the bundles seem to be compilations of misc. content or a time to release character type men. We have Ivan and now Lucian. Wheras the female line has Lilith and Rune. There is a double standard, that the females are all beautiful but the guys can be colorful characters. Eh... Not feeling that.

    I like the skin texture and the body but I'm not a big fan of his face.

    Although if I haven't recently bought a Pro bundle I would really consider his Pro Bundle at 60% off.

  • I'm fairly certain that this will be one of those situations where I'll buy the base figure just so supporting characters work properly. Lucian isn't bad, but boy oh boy is Corbin yummy! I really like him and that Dax hair. He would make the perect G3 version of Louis. 

    I want him.
