wish they had a render of a male character wearing it
ah the addon texture does, store not showing the daily promo page for me either
The bundle hasn't been listed as one of the ones available for free to Premire members yet, and I won't pick her up until she is. I like some of her accessories, but, frankly, if you take away the wings and.scales add-ons, it's hard to get really excited over what is basically yet another caucasion girl of indeterminate age that could be duplicated with a few dial-spins.
the addon bundle does look like it can be used with any G9 character and Valenia not listed as required
While it doesn't say it directly, the Dragonscale HD for Genesis 9 are morphs. And the Dragonscale LIE Textures Add-On should work with any existing Genesis 9 texture set, since LIE texture maps are layered ontop of the skin textures.
Skinny white chick, yawn
Character bundle was meh for me, but the add-on bundle is an insta buy
Promos look fantastic. I like Valenia’s face, but she still comes off as one more in the lineup. She kind of reminds me of Sylvia 9. I wish they had pushed the Dragonborn angle further with something more than wings and scales, like a full reptile head or body, especially since Ava Harpy Talons and FPE Scales already let us create this Valenia look.
Still, the Add On turned out great.
Me: *Looking at promos* OH WOW. She looks fantastic.... Oh... It's mostly in the addon bundle... BOOOOOOO
I wish the Add on bundles were included with the Premier coupon ¬_¬
I think they usually are an option for the coupon, but it's entirely normal for new character bundles to not get added to the valid list for the coupon until later in the day.
An all stereotypical DAZ-Female character shape:
Skinny, big shoulders, tiny waist, tiny hip, pole legs, masculine face shape.
The character page says she's middle aged. HA! (insert your favorite ROFL emojis here) If Valenia is middle aged, then I am a dragon hybrid! Even with HD Valenia appears well under 40.
I do like the dragon theme items a lot. Unfortunately, it all goes on the WL. Even with a membership & if the character bundle was added to the free selection today (a big IF since it's a US holiday) the 2 bundles would be out of my budget, since I don't have tokens. Yes, even with a Thanksgiving Release.
Should be compatible. This set is very much like Tara 9's Succubus set, which is also very good. I am also waiting until she appears on the free bundle list to buy her.
Haha. I would say in Daz model years middle aged would be something like 26-and that's the tail end of that spectrum.
There are moments in her facial promos where I see a hard, middle-aged business woman with Botox help; but the body is of a starved teenager or one who had too much access to body sculpting. I prefer the mixes that were posted.
Haha! True. Last time I said that about a figure, I got berated by another forum member.
I think she's attractive. That's a plus. She is very thin for wearing heavy armor.
I didn't give her more than a glance off the sale page. I determined that I have the stuff from the character bundle already and I wishlisted the add-on. I believe the character's HD layer should be part of the figure, not a pricy individual product that pads a bundle. But whatever. Skipping the character bundle, in any case.
The dragon-themed items look great, I'll certainly get the add-on bundle at some point.
Valenia herself looks rather good, and I like the Aetheris dress.
She definitely strikes me as mid-30s (in the case of the first promo, though, her neck looks more like she belongs on a 50-something, not 30-something), so that's a positive change.
As for her body, I don't think it's a teenager body, especially when it comes to breasts, and I've just recently seen fitness instructor (born 1982) who had even more refined body. But her body is waaaay too narrow, especially shoulders, making her head look too big and making me feel like she was modeled after an anime character and not actual human anatomy.
Other than that, the character bundle seems, well, boring and lackluster, but it's been like that in a while after Daz introduced Premier free bundle code. I get they wanted to limit the size of an already generous freebie, but with HD taking up one slot, and expressions another, there isn't much to look at.
The Dragon Braid Hair isn't bad, but it looks very similar to Morgan Hair, so I guess it will boil down to users' preference: no dForce or dForce. Aetheris Dress isn't too bad, and I like the accessories, but I'm not in the market for "yet another sexy sleek dress."
From the addon bundle, I like the wings and tail addon, but the Dragonscale feels similar to FPE's Dragon Scales. At first glance, I actually thought that Daz simply included that product in the bundle. So again, it would come down to a choice between the two, and having used FenixPhoenix's and Esid's other excellent products (so much variety and customization and detailed promos), my personal choice would not be in the bundle's favor (unless someone wants the perfect match of the wings and the skin addon), especially that the two outfits aren't enticing enough either (and I say it as someone who renders pretty much only fantasy and sci-fi stuff). The armor looks really nice, but all the options are extremely shiny which kind of makes me less excited about it. The adventurer's outfit feels just meh. Perhaps I would feel about it differently if there were more promo pictures showing it vs. the one actual picture of the outfit, repeated artistic promo that is not a close up, so it offers few details, one clay, and one partial with harness only. Texture addon promos are doing much better job in selling the outfit.
So, even though it's a fantasy bundle and the female character looks actually slightly more mature which one would think would be exactly what I want, I'm not sold either on the character (body proportions issues) or the bundles (not enticing enough to pull the trigger on either).
Another female “Caucasian” figure, but a woman's face with some character and expression. A change from the many bland, interchangeable dolls that are offered here every day, and of which, unfortunately, there are also quite a few as Daz Core Figures.
I also like the contents of the Character Bundle. Mada and Soto make every bundle worthwhile. Mada's combination of evening gown, mask and extravagant “underwear” is great. If only the bundle were now to appear in the Premier list...
The add-on bundle was an instant buy for me. The “Dragonscale” skin could be from FPE, it looks that good, and the wings are a nice variation on the Ava add-ons. I don't really like armour, especially when it looks too exaggerated, but fjaa's “Armour Dragonscale” is a work of art.
I'll wait until the Premier coupon applies to the character bundle. My primary interest is the character itself, and the examples of combinations with other characters.
She's available in the list of free bundles now. Just got her.
So, clearly this is a "me" problem, but I recently already got https://www.daz3d.com/cb-renvana-hd-character-clothing-set-and-weapons-for-genesis-9 and multi-generational https://www.daz3d.com/cc-catalina-for-genesis-9 and https://www.daz3d.com/ava-9-hd-add-on-bundle .
No vacancy at my inn! I should share some renders. Luckily I even have some time to address that!
Probably my mind playing tricks on me, but I see a little Rachel Weisz in her.
Could be - right or not, I see hints of real people in a lot of these figures.
The promos for the Dragon Wings and Tail for G9 seem to be moving away from the usual disappointing "belt-tail" attachments and closer to being more anatomically correct for a feature that should be an extension of the spine, so I'm looking forward to playing with this.
Unfortunately, I'm currently in the middle of major maintenance on my DAZ files that's going to delay such opportunities....
You're not alone in that. I saw Rachel Weisz too.
Very nice portrait!
She's very pretty & I like the addon dragon wings & tail but I was hoping for a traditional Thanksgiving theme. So instead I used my Premier coupon for something a bit more uncommon in all it's weirdness: Cider Brewery Character Bundle | Daz 3D
That's a very good looking portrait. What hair is that?
