    Randomly decided to make my ice fairy from 2022 into a goblin on New Years Eve, took a bit to find something for her to wear.

    Gave Zen for Aiko 3 a bit of a facelift. Also did a video of the process.

    The Zen fairy is so cute - the render is quite relaxing and it fits the name! I can almost feel the gentle breeze and hear the birds singing. :)

    Thanks! It turned out much better than I thought it was going to.

    It's the hair. jk lol

    Thanks!blush

    You could say the same of quite a few older characters, they just need some extra love to take them over the top. I think I've proved that more than once.smiley

    True enough. The older characters take a bit of work to get them up to current standards, but they can make it. Impressive. Regards, Richard.

    Looks good. I'm occsionally a bit uncomfortable with Thorne's characters fae or not - some look a bit 'Lolita' for me, but you've done a good maturation job on Sarina there.

    Regards,

    Richard

    Thanks!

    Yeah, that was Aiko's niche back then.

    I have tried to use the other generation 3 females several times but I'm always disappointed by their lack of versatility compared with Aiko (not necessarily their fault, if they had morph expansions similar to A3's I don't have them), and at this point I've use Aiko to fill most of their roles.

     

    An old age progression test from 2019 I did using Mulberry.

    An OC I started working on 6 years ago, recently rebuilt her on my customized Aiko3 base... but maybe she could be a free character shape...

     

    Watered down version. What do you think?

    Although I don't use Generation 3 it was a lot of fun to go through the whole thread! Is there also a Victoria 4 / Michael 4 / Aiko+Hiro 4 / The Girl 4 / Genesis / Genesis 2 M/F etc. appreciation thread (because that is where my experience starts)? Thanks!

    hard to believe that's aiko3 - actually it's amazing what you do with all of your A3 derivatives.

    this creation is quite pretty - the eyes, esp. the brows are wonderful, and the general shape looks healthy in the best sort of way. I think it's the upper thigh width that brings her home. Nice choices here.

    bravo,

    I don't think she goes to the beach or the pool for the water.

    "I'll get you my pretty and your little..." uh, never mind. That line has a whole other meaning coming from her.

    And I shouldn't have drawn a comparison with the Wicked Witch of the West, 'cause now I'm picturing the tin man as a big burly lumberjack with an open shirt showing off his abs of steel. lol

    Ethin, your work is incredible!  I am working with V4 right now!  I have thousands and thousands of dollars invested in A3.  I will not stop using her!!

    Since I compared the last one to the Wicked Witch of the West (I've named her Eleanora) someone on another forum wanted to see Dorothy or Glinda done in a similar style.

    So here's the swimsuit edition of Glinda the Good Witch of the North.

    ...I'm starting to think the residents of Oz don't know how to swim.
