    I have a feeling this thread will be locked fairly soon, so let me just close with this: dialing morphs can be fun and are really no effort at all. You're likely to be not only be very surprised at what you can make, you'll probably prefer your own creation to a pre-made character. The whole concept of what we do is akin to 3D LEGOs, we assemble what we imagine from what is available. Not every specific thing we want is available, but we do have plenty of products to help us create very original characters. Even DAZ's twice-monthly characters should be thought of as morphs and textures to add to your creative pool.

    I agree, but you are probably just preaching to the wind.

    BTW I think the new werewolf is one of the better looking ones in the store, behind the old SanctumArts one that is no longer for sale.

    I think it's unconscionable that there aren't more mustelid fantasy characters! Vampire otters, elven ferrets..

    That is a good question, but it's not only Daz thing. It's the same thing in most movies too. Like for example I don't recall seeing any asian dwarves or african elves in LOTR movies, but don't quote me on that. I have excellent memory, but it's really short. Oh, at least in Forgotten Realms universe they have drows.

    Uhhh...Maybe that's because LOTR (the books) were written as English mythology, and Asians and Africans weren't really prevalent in English folklore during the times that the books were supposed to depict?
