    Normally I don't peel cucumber. However, if I'm due to have cucumber sandwiches and Earl Grey Tea in porcelain cups of the sort where my little finger needs to stick in the air, then I will peel to cucumber. It would be uncouth not to... wink

    Regards,

    Richard

    There's also Cutting Onions released recently if you missed it. I have no need for either at the moment (and in foreseable future), but I did appreciate seeing something different and creative. For all those creating comics in contemporary settings this might be a great product.

    As I am dangerous around knives, I place cucumbers, onions and other objects on my cutting board and slice on it. Between poor eyesight and arthritis in my hands, if I tried to slice anything in the air I would be slicing my fingers. I do use a vegetable peeler depending on what I am using the vegetable for.

    Thank you Predatron for honoring the day and giving me another leprechaun to add to my collection! smiley

    Thanks to Phoenix1966 for giving us the long-needed Chest Projection Fix Morph in the PHX Wally HD package.

    Predatron strikes again. Liking the Barrow. Is it just my eyes or does the promo image for https://www.daz3d.com/l3d-bodytalk-poses-genesis-9 have her left ankle going through the right shin?

    Definitely.  For those looking at it for the first time, it's the top right image in this collage:

    Wally has a great face and is a great likeness, too bad he's G9 and has the chest issues that go along with that.

    Happy to hear some of you folks are enjoying Wally. smiley

    @Phoenix1966, I really like the figures you've done. I've acquired several of them because they're all such high quality and they all have unique characteristics. Wally went straight into my cart today and now he's chilling with the rest of my G9s. Excellent work! Thanks for giving us such fun characters to play with. laugh

    I'm so pleased that you've been enjoying the characters. Wally was a lot of fun to work on and I can't wait to see how people use him.

    Is this what Wally Tween is supposed to look like? I loaded him from the character preset, but his head looks large to me compared to his body, and his face doesn't look young to me. Is this correct, or did I load something wrong?

    He reminds me allot of Bob Denver from Gilligan's Island!

    @barbuit, I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. If the preset is loading with the Wally Tween morphs(proportions, head, body), then yes. I used the proportions suggested by Andrew Loomis, which places a child at ten years of age to be roughly 7 "heads" tall (reference from his book Figure Drawing For All It's Worth here, but there is the vaugest suggestions of nudity in the image). You can always adjust the Head Proportions slider to suite your taste, or please return him if you're unhappy with the reults.

    Thanks for replying @Phoenix1966. I can (and have) adjusted his head more to my taste. I often adjust characters, so no big deal. I also applied some "younger" head morphs, again, more to my taste. I don't intend to return Wally.
    I have another question about the projection morphs. I was surprised that I had to dial them in and that they were under Morphs/Morph Loader in the Parameters pane. Normally, projection morphs autofollw into the clothing automatically, with no action required on the part of the user (or so I thought). I only stumbled upon these morphs accidently in Morphs/Morph  Loader. Is this an error, or is then a reason that you implemented them this way? I would have expected the projection morph to follow the character's body morph automatically.
    I attached a render of my tweaked Wally Tween.

    I remember those days---exploring the weeds by my subdivision---those were the days, my friend. Thanks for the evocative render.

    That's it RAMwolff! That is who I was trying to think of! 

    Wally really looks like a geat character. He will be fun to use in many different situations.

    Me too. We were in a new subdivision when I was preteen. There was construction all around. Big dirt piles and wood pieces. Little metal peices. Mud after a rain and curly dry mud flakes when it dried out. I'd be out there for hours. And then at the edge of construction were cornfields to get lost in.

    I can see that but he initially looked very familiar to me too and I still cannot place who I was thinking of and it wasn't Bob Denver

    Oh, the second I saw the first promo is SCREAMED "Bob Denver" to me.

    I really like DAV Gemma's looks, but it seems that her makeup is already painted on, so it's a big no for me. I would have also appreciated a non-posed full body shot with minimal clothing, so that I could get better idea of the body shape. Promo pictures are nice, sure, but I also need non-makeup shot (especially that makeup options for Gen 9 figures are often horrible; as if you gave a makeup kit to a five year old) and a body shot.

    I must say, I don't understand why a PA does not include a face option without make-up. It limits the usuability by a lot.

    Agreed. I'd rather have a figure without any makeup add-ons that have a figure that has only "makeup on" option(s).

    That's right. I would also always like a profile picture of the face. I recently discovered an interesting character here, but when I saw the profile, with such an extreme snub nose that it reminded me of a certain animal, the purchase was cancelled. Even the best morph programme can't correct something like that.

    The last promo doesn't appear to have makeup, at least not the raccoon eyeshadow.

    According to file list there is only one face texture.

     She definitely does have make up on on this one. I closely inspected all the images before I posted my comment, and like felis, I did check the file list in the product description.

    I stand corrected.
