Trying to do a cute Halloween image with Vampirella in Daz but am not sure which V4 character would look most like her. Any idea's? anyone used any models to do Daz V4 renders before of her?

Do you the outfit, or her features?
If the latter, shoot, that's open to interpretation given the character has been drawn by dozens of professional artists since 1969 when she was first published. Frazetta gave her "round" features upon a "moon" like face, whereas later "in house" artists for Warren Publishing gave her a somewhat narow, oval shaped face.

Not sure how cute equal vampirella, LOL. There are a ton of Vampire textures both here and at renderosity, just search vampire at either store or use a light texture with distinct/sharp makeups. As fr the outfit, there used to be a Vampirella outfit at rendo, but can't find it any longer, might have been removed since V4 is really old at this point..
I guess I meant with her facial features more than her body. I should have been clearer with that I guess. I have her outfit.
Well then, it boils down to what you personally like. With a nearly 50 year history, she's been drawn "just about every which way". The only thing I might recommend are upswept, almond shaped eyes (thus hinting at a predatory animal) accented with thick border of "goth" eyeliner and mascera. The atrist who drew her most for the original Warren Magazin run, Jose Gonzalez, usually gave her a "triangular" face, her high cheekbones leading to a delicate chin.
I hope you don't mind a personal example. Here's what I did using Aiko 3 with Thorne & Sarsa's "Mila" morph enhanced by various dials from Beth Capsces' "Kioki for A3" set. the "bikini" is actually a texture using transparency and displacement maps made by sam Therapy.

haha cool little example. Yeh I get what you are suggesting and will go with that.
Thanks and Happy Halloween! *evil laugh as I fade back into the darkness*
I just thought of something that might help "concrete" how Vamp might look.
In the mid 1970s, Hammer Films (the British movie studio that made those Dracula films with Christopher Lee and Frankenstein films with Peter Cushing) had considered a film adaptation of Vampirella. Peter Cushing had agreed to play Pendragon, Vampi's mentor. the studio's first chose for Vampi herself was Caroline Munro. She appeared in a victim in one of the Dracula films and co-starred with Cushing in an Amicus production of "At the Earth's Core". But she is arguably best remembered as the slave girl Arianna in Ray Harryhausen's "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad".
I'd offer a Google link to photos, but I'm sure there are some nudes which D*Z would rather not be linked. Just Google her name, Caroline Munro, and you'll get a lot of results.
However, Munro declined when she learned she would have some nude scenes, so the studio had to find a replacement. They finally discovered a candidate in Barbara Leigh, a former Playboy centerfold. Alas, Hammer went bankrupt and closed its studios just after an actress was selected. While that movie was never made (an unrelated low budget "bomb" was made in the 90s) Ms. Leigh did war the crimson bikini for a series of photos, several of which were used as covers for the magazine format comic.
Again, I can't share a link to a Google search as it will likely have nudes scattered among the returns, but if you run a search for "Barbara Leigh" with a side parameter of "Vampirella", you'll get some of those comic covers.
Point being, you might base your character upon either of those performers, either the one Hammer wanted, Munro, or the one they got, Leigh. Or, you could "blend" their features to create a unique face.
Sincerely,
Bill
