    Mika, Mika as a boy (G3M clone dialled in, lashes shortened. Might need a breasts gone morph!) and Mika with a little GenX George and Ivan. Honestly, I wouldn't have bought the bundle if it wasn't such a great price. I have Josie and Sunny, but she mixes well.

    Looking at the Thorne catalog, it looks like Karynna, Haiku and Ysabeau are somewhat similar to Mika but all for G2. But they can make a great family of anime fairies!

    Well I LOVE Thorne characters, especially the earlier pre-Genesis ones, and love big eyes with huge irises. As a matter of a fact when I was a kid, I used to draw them. Tons of them, I even made them into paper dolls, so I love this character. I'm finding I can make new shapes with her I wasn't able to with Girl 7 before that don't look like Girl7 but some are very similar to A4 or even A3, but that's fine with me...

    She is, I think, the only non-toon character who doesn't look entirely human, except I guess the Girl. I'm doing a render now with her and the Girl and some more morphs and it's the first time I could get those huge eyes with her looking nothing like the girl but anime.. I have all the Thorne Hansdpan morphs and probably could have created something similar, but I'm having fun mixing her with different characters. Very happy with this purchase! Except the Aaliya Princess dress, which has a weird bending problem I'll post later and hopefully will be fixed...

    ...I'm with you there.

    In the Gen4 era Thorne's characters helped me develop viable teens because of their more petite less "busty" physiques. You could always dial the eye size down.  Thorne also released one nice non fey character, Tommi who became the base for the Gen4 version of my Leela character. for a long time (until Steph4 and the NPMs came out, though I still used Tommi in the mix particularly for the face and her skin).  Really on the fence here.  I have my 6$ PC/DO coupon and some money left over from a GC.  Not enough to get either of the bundles at a decent price, but the base figure and the Striking Poses set for around 9$ total (besides I have a fairly good collection of Fey clothing and wings).

    I have Izabella...didn't like Sunny at all (seemed to me there was something "squished" about her head...lol). Mika is OK. I'd use her mixed but probably not full strength. Of course, my library has a lot of characters that I only use for mixing and nothing else ;).

    The character is a buy and the outfit!!!! Abyone got a lead on that?

    The top looks like the Semi scarf top by Lilflame at rendo. 

    Got any ideas on the shorts?

    Sorry, but I think I'll pass on this. Skins don't appear to have any details, they all look flat and blah, esp the face, too handpainted/air brushed imo. I almost bought the Goldberry outfit but noticed it's a single clothing piece. I didn't care for the skirt but I could use the top and gloves and then thought I could probably use the skirt after all and then noticed it has no movement morphs. Tired of dishing out the $$ for clothing items that don't have movement morphs, that outfit is base price at $17 and you can't even move the skirt to  make it look like there is a breeze nor can I break that item up and use segments. I could probably Cutout segments in the skirt if it was broken down and not one complete item where that slider won't work.

    Well after seeing more of the renders of Mika in this thread she makes a great Tinker Bell. A Peter Pan would be nice, mainly to get those extra morphs into both G3 models, but as Redz shown it is easy to make a male fairy from Mika too.

    It's easy to make a Peter Pan from any male and use growing up morphs, or Teen Ryan....

    Hi - just quickly want to clear up the movement morphs - I don't have a lot of movement morphs in there because the thigh and shin handles already take care of that. To quickly hide the skirt select the geometry editor, go to the tool window and click the eye icon for the skirt panels. There are 8 panels (to make it more useful for shaders) but takes less than 5 seconds to hide. I do try and put value into my clothing items as much as I can :)

    No, I included a caveat about the morphs and the quality of them in the Mika character but it is pretty easy to do, just not as fast or exactly Thorne.

    Getting soooooo frustrated with my non-NVIDIA computers. This has already taken over 50 minutes. I'm wondering why I even need IRay for things like fairies, it's not like anyone is going to be convinced they're real... Anyway, here is a partial render of Mika with Camdyn for Tween Julie skin and a huge mix of morphs including Genevieve! I think a look like this is possible in G1 but not so much with G3 until Mika.

    The only thing I see in common between Mica, Sunny, and Julie is their small mouth and the way it opens weirdly. From the very beginning, Thorne characters look better with their mouths shut...

    Does anyone know what Mika is wearing on the Mika 7 base promo pic? :o

  • ALLIEKATBLUEALLIEKATBLUE Posts: 2,983

    I for one love this character and the entire pro bundle. Not only was it an excellent price but I am really happy with what Mika adds to my family.  I also love Thorne characters. I didn't realize how many I have. Since we got over 2 feet of snow here in the Poconos and I'm snowed in for a few days I thnk I'll convert some Thorne girls to G3 and play with my dolls.

    I like alot of the items in the bundle, so I guess I'll bite the bullet. She looks good mixed with Aiko. I wonder how well she mixed with the legacy morphs from GF2 and V4? Thorne, we need a boy to complement all these girls you've made. I have all the male bundles, but not all of the girls.

    Nope, there are enough male characters.  cheeky

    'We' should never really be used when what is meant is 'I'. wink

    ... Because some smart-arse like me will wander by and comment. :)

    Maybe you don't need a boy, but we do.

    Now it's properly plural.

    ... Because whenever a smart-arse like you wanders by and comments, one like me will respond.

  • pro bundle is even cheaper when you add two extras instead of one got pro+one of the clothing textures packs which made the pro chaeper and the texture pack free then I added the flowers just to see how much more it'd be and the entire price was even cheaper

    Awww Mika as a boy turned out really cute! Definitely need a breast gone morph, but other than that really cute! :)

    MikaMoni, adorbes

    Wow! She IS adorbes! 

  • yeah was on fence too but I kinda wanted to at least get all the base figs for the morphs and such and sometimes for a realistic look for say a fairy you don't want the fairy to look too realistic human wise if that makes sense they're humanoid in appearance yes but not like us exactly same with other humanoid creatures. Might be an interesting look to some characters using textures created in headshop of facegen

  • Fun with new releases!

    I really like the last two mixes you've got there with the G3M clone and George and Ivan. It never occurred to me that using GenX for characters without official male figures who match them in style would basically fix that problem, but your male version of Mika looks great. *fires up GenX and starts making a list of characters to run through it*

    I kind of like her, has that Josie look but doesn't have as stylized a look as to whether or n

    Popular male Russian name (I believe?) popular female Japanese name.

    Japanese  version of the German Meike both pronounced the same Mee-Kah or that's how it's pronounced in Russian both are female names with it being similiar to the American male name Mike, I don't know of any Russian males here name that but I stay to only 2 cities, so I could be wrong more than likely find a women with the name

    She looks like Genesis 3's answer to Giselle ;).

    Laurie

    That's what I was thinking. But she's not quite as unique as Giselle who has such a special profile. Got her anyway because she is very cute. But Giselle is still my fave.

    I had an extra bonus banner too guess from buying a few march madness items those that got it probably had different bonus discounts too today on the main offer deal they got up to 60% off if you buy today with new releases don't think those of us that bought yesterday get any extra on new releases today though. Few things I like like the two new sets of fairy wings those are pretty good

    @ermullens: Sorry, but the German name 'Meike' is pronounced like 'Maike' (which is also a spelling variation pf this name); the 'e' at the end pronounced like a German, not an English 'e'. ;-) I think 'Mika' as a male name comes from Finland, probably derived from 'Michael' For Mika 7: As I am not a big Thorne/fairy fan, I think I can pass this one.
