Very nice and also very believable.
... And they are all (the characters) dolls. They are there to be manipulated, posed and dressed up, then placed in stories. That sounds to be the purpose that dolls (including anction man) were for.
Calling any charcter a doll, whilst excluding others from the monica seems to me to be disrespectful.
This comment isn't aimed at you btw.
She's adorable - and the eyes look really good :-) The new eyebrows are also an improvement, IMO.
Not a baby, though. Toddler, maybe. ;-)
Those are gorgeous! You're definitely not posting "too much"! I'm loving your renders and various mixes!
Yeah, the baby morphs start to look creepy once you get higher than 50% or so. I really wish they came with a separate head and body morph. Or didn’t get weird looking when you dial them in more... I might try again to make a true baby that doesn’t look creepy lol.
I don't think she meant anything by it - I think when people say "Thorne doll" they just mean that many of Thorne's characters are really cute and doll-like. I don't think it's meant to be disrespectful, but more of a descriptor on the style of the characters. :)
Just another "Offended" poster. We all get it. I try and not discriminate between digital doll creations, but sometimes I just can't help myself!
BTW, Wonderland's posts are just terrific! There's a term I've heard called 'Romantic Realism' from 2D art paintings that just might apply to her's (and some PA's) pictures posted here. Just another peg in my thoughts to purchase the product!
I always assumed 'doll' was for non-realistic intended characters, with exaggerrated facial features, especially eyes, like a child's china doll. I suppose it might not be self-evident for some people... it isn't a perjorative, it's a style thing.
...and the word is moniker. Just saying. :-)
Hrm...I always took calling them a "So&So Doll" as a compliment. People collect dolls...which is the way I usually hear it used. Although I've heard it OFTEN with Thorne's work, I've heard it with many others over the years. Almost always positive...
ETA...come to think of it, I'm an avid collector of Maddelerium's "dolls", so I do hear sometimes things like "Can't wait to see her new doll..."
I spend an evening checking out the Tika bundle.....and indeed, all is in the green according to me. One gripe....hair. But that somehow is a universal problem since Genensis 8 or should I say Iray. Hair seems quite difficult te render in Iray....the opacity maps need to be spot on or hair whisps turn into cassette tape like objects quite suddenly. Last month I was suprised by a dude under the name of Zoro_D that creates excellent hair on that other site. So a quick combination of some trees by Stonemason (Fern lake), hair by Zoro_D and Ava straight out of the Tika bundle....yeps it works IMHO, dress is from the Advent outfit....

I'm not offended, although being singled out and then quoted, does irritate me. I said ("seems to me" to be disrespectful). That is there for someone to start a conversation.
Personally, this thread is starting to get a bit personal and at risk of getting locked. Getting locked would be a shame.
I know that, which is why I said I wasn't aiming at Wonderland; I also got that she was showing those that though of the character as just another doll, what could be done with it.
The toddler is excellent; probably the best (imo) render i've seen of Babies8; although I've not been in the thread since the first day, so take that into consideration.
edit n/m ...
I really like the Versa Ponytail and I think the Chief Officer Outfit renders beautifully in 3Delight. I used the boots from the Naomi Sci-Fi Outfit.
By coupling the bomb to the colony's power supply she can triple its yield; she is, however, seriously worried her old hover bike won't get her far enough away in time, (the synthoids are, of course, expendable).
Nice render and caption to go with it!
Also nice to see the Chief Officer outfit works with the Naomi boots, or rather the boots will acomodate pants from another set.
Tika out of he box, but with clothes and hair from older generations. I still love genesis 2 and 3 figures and clothing and love the ability to use them with genesis 8 figures. I have another picture of Tika I'm working on using one of the add-on characters, and then I'm going to do a group picture to compare her with Karyssa and Josie. I wish I had picked up Kaylee, but didn't have the money when she was released and always seem to miss her when she's on sale. There seemed to be a lot of complaints that Tika and these figures are too much alike. While I think there is strong shared style, they are each cute but distingtive.
Anyone know the hair used in the Sonnet for Tika8 main promo page?

Thanks Scorpio!
Kaylee is 70% off with one of today's school purchases...
Yeah, this seems like the G8 counterpart of the racially ambiguous Sunny 7. As usual with Thorne, she looks well-executed, and I am happy to hear that the character's not being classified as an adult; she doesn't especially look like one to me.
Yeah, I saw that shortly after posting. I'd been waiting to get the pro bundle, but opted to just pick up Kaylee's base. Waiting on a group picture to finish rendering right now. Till then, here's one more of just Tika and her Erevan Airy add-on.
Finally got a chance to try Tika and the other characters based on her.

Here's my line up some of the figures some people were comparing Tika to. Kaylee, Tika, Charlotte, Karyssa, and Josie. There's a close up and a full body view. I think each of these girls add value to my gene pool and am glad I have them. I really like Tika's texture in particular.
Nutrition is an amazing thing. When I was there one summer in college in 2003 (was that really almost 16 years ago‽), the students of my generation were consistently half a foot taller than their parents, who were in turn half a foot taller than theirs.
Yep. When I first started going there in the early 1990s, there were very few places where a foreigner of my size could get replacement clothes or shoes, and when I got on the subway, the "crushes" didn't bother me that much because I was nearly a foot taller than most of the crowd. Now there are a lot of so called "Sumo" shops that sell clothes that are positively gigantic by the old standards.and teenagers who are as tall as I am.
Finally got a chance to work with Tika for a bit. Avengers: Endgame had to take precidence...

Frostine: Spirit of Winter
Well... at least she's not in a bikini holding a sword in a temple. Frostine here is straight out of the box. I think I used low translucency and low specular settings, with High Bump and Strong Normals (though you can't tell since it's not a close up. The Heather Hair was a bit difficult to work with, taking some adjustments to get it to fit and pose right (and even now, I'm still not happy with it). For a first render (well, fifth or so after all the screwups), not bad, though I love the mixing I'm seeing here and want to see how she plays with others.
@worldsedge Those are delightful!
@ejworks Thanks for showing those comparisons.
@losingsignal I love the pose!
@Worlds_Edge Thank you for showing a comparison of the Tika 8 characters. I really love the NPR render you did with one of the Toon Tika shapes! :D I love NPR and comic book style renders!
