  • @Divamakeup nice renders it's funny ironic fate but tonight at work as I often do my mind wanders and I was thinking up several ideas for future projects one of which well several  actually involved older ladies several being pinup related as I like to also do pinups of the older ladies too feating mostly Mei Linn 7hd and Ophelia 7hd used her recently with frog in the bed was a twist on the frog prince story, anyway get home and see this lady I'll get a lot of use out of her and her hd morphs think will be special too when it comes out

    I broke the bank and bought the Alexandra 8 Pro Bundle. I felt drawn to the character, and I love her outfits. I'm excited about Briallen HD especially- she'll make a great wise silver-haired Elf! I was also thrilled to get three free bundles- Monique 6, and the Kendra Bundle for Monique 6, and Mika 7. I thought it was a good deal overall. I want to experiment with using Monique 6 textures and shapes with Giselle 6 to get a dark-skinned pixie/fairy character. Thanks for the great content, DAZ!

  • I'm thoroughly delighted to see this character! I'm actually working on a scene with a mature woman, and had to do a significant amount of kitbashing to get the look I wanted (yes, I have the Zev0 aging morphs, but that doesn't quite do the smaller signs of maturity, like skin texture, etc). This'll be going into the runtime later this week, and I'm so glad to see a character that's not just another 20-something. Great job Daz!

    Might just spring for this one: the pro bundle has some clothing that I like (and have figured out how to retrofit to G3F), and the skins are also backward compatible with G3F (aren't they?) and not something I already have. Hair comes with fits for both generations, they aren't things I'd jump through flaming hoops for, but they're things I would use. I've liked what I've seen of the male G8M releases, and Sakura is cool if you like that sort of thing, but this is the first non-toony G8F base character to make much of an impression. Now if the free bundles wouldn't eat half the PC coupon, I'd be in business.

    Her head and face seems to be mature, at least in the base figure, but her body could belong to any of the rest of the gen 8 female lineup and it doesn't seem to match.  Its like the age, stops at her face. Clothing looks nice, but could belong in any bundle.  I get a Jamie Lee Curtis vibe from her.

    already used my coupon so not 100% but from past sales it does BUT if you add at least three of the other items released today I'm still debating which myself but I'm thinking one of the character and two textures addons the price can/could depending what you choose bring the price cheaper than buying the bundle alone + you three free bonuses

    that part probably see get wth her hd morph when Ophellia7 got her hd morph it really changed her with a lot more detail and made her older

    Skin-wise I'm iffy-think it looks slightly more mature than O8 but not alot. Sculpt-wise, the hands and neck seem not-so-youthful to me, and the torso is bony in a way that the other G8F don't seem to be. Face reminds me of the late Joan Rivers, as I dimly remember her from the late 80s and early 90s, before the plastic surgery got out of hand.

    Is her body texture/morph aged appropriately to match her head? Its hard to really tell without a nude promo. I know you can use some additional products to help age her.

    I LOVE her! I don't even yet own V8, but I am definetly getting Alexandra. I also like the wide pants in her bundle. I am so curious if she will get a male counterpart!

  • mrposermrposer Posts: 1,130

    I did notice you get 12 products in the pro bundle which is 1 more than in most... so that is a plus.

    I didn't, nice catch!

    Well, this was unexpected. If nothing else, I like the way Daz is going with this. Now, if we could just get more men...

    For me there is a lot to like in an older more average looking face. The bundle is pretty chocked full and considering the 3 daz bundle freebies, if you happen to not own a bunch of that stuff already, it's kind of an insane value.

    Value Shoppers Rejoice

    She is different  and something I could use.  Wishlisted!

  • nelsonsmithnelsonsmith Posts: 1,337

    To this I only have to say,  " GEEZ WAS THAT SO FRIK'N  HARD !"   Finally, a mature woman who doesn't look like she's audtioning for the Weird Sisters in a Macbeth revival.

    Thank you to all the PA's responsible.  The Genesis 8 line is turning out quite a few very nice surprises.

    I see $37.03 in Greybro's cart while my price goes down to $46.29 (I have 3 featured add-ons in my cart as well) . I guess it's because I haven't purchased many V8 bundles?

    Nice spotting. How did that go down to $37.03? :-o

    I was wondering that myself....

  • Hmmm,  I put this character right up there with Monique 8 and Darius 8...much needed and very diverse.  It's going to be a pleasure using her in things...if I ever decide to go to Genesis 8 stuff..,lol

    ​If I think of Daz characters as the ensemble cast of actors, Alexandra 8 is a welcome talent to fill more roles.  I bought Alexandra 8 and would buy more characters products that fill other roles.  Not everyone in a production is teen eye candy, even if the production has some teen eye candy.  For those that think Alexandra is just a phrase containing a profanity removed, yes, she can be the lead actress.  But, in an office setting she could be the boss or mentor.  

    ​Kudos to Daz.

    I was literally thinking about this this morning.  This is my approach when it comes to creating any stories and I'm using Daz characters.  I look at them as actors/actresses.  And you are spot on about the cast relations.

    I suspect it's one those "Thanks or supporting figure X, here's an extra 20% off" because it adds up to exactly 20%  :)
    Anyway, it's a steal, especially with the optional free pro bundles!

    Same here. I'm not sure what the difference is but his discounts are higher than mine and my total cart price for his cart is $65.82. And I have purchased several Genisi 8 pro bundle and nearly all of the Genesis 3 pro bundles.

    I like the character but I have too many other expenses and with the price I get I've had to wishlist her for now.

    It was driving me crazy, I knew she looked like a certain actress whose name I forgot: Christine Baranski!

    Looks more like Marcia Gay Harden to me

    I've got it sitting in my cart and waiting to see if there is an additional discount coming. Kind of surprised that there isn't as I have bought at least 7 of the G8 Pro Bundles.

    Correction, I bought 11 of the G8 Pro Bundles.

    She does look like her! Though when I saw her, I also felt she looked familiar and then it hit me. She reminded me of the actress Sally Hawkings, who was in the movie "Shape of Water"

    I think the fact that she reminds us of different women is beautiful and goes to show that she's very realistic. I might end up getting her, just because her shape might help me create interesting and mature characters.

    Bravo to Daz! Thanks to Divamakeup! Boo to mid-month DO Core character releases. Hoping for Alexander 8 with an Armani/Hugo Boss business suit in the Pro Bundle.

  • hphoenixhphoenix Posts: 1,335

    She's a welcome addition....a really well done mature woman.  I'm looking forward to seeing what add-on characters for her will show up from PAs.

    And I have to wonder if/who will be her male counterpart?  THAT's a tempting idea....

    Platinum club coupons maybe? Mine was $66.79. I had already used my PC coupons for the month before this so couldn't try applying them.

    With all the free items in the cart, the PC Coupon for DOs would only give about a $2 discount....something else is in play.  And the coupon would have shown up in the screenshot.
