    I bought Malik Hair. I don't like the high clearance above the ears, but there's no morph to lower it. I have Jonathan Hair, Zack Hair, Greyson Hair, Ping Hair, & Sleek Ponytail Hair (all with uncovered ears) by the same vendor, and the high ears with no morph seems to be a trademark. I've never seen an actual human with that much skin showing above their ears.

    I decided to try the old way of fitting hair through scaling and translation to lower the ear height, but Silas' mushroom cranium makes the X dimension balloon so that the sideburns won't fit. I tried a smoothing modifier, but it's not helping either. Any ideas?

    Wow. Someone compared Malik to Djimon Honsou earlier, but that render of Bernard really looks like him.

    Here's Silas, out of the box. Since he was wearing the Dragon Lord outfit, he got a friend.

    He looks great but unfortunately the last thing I need right now is more guys... Although in real life,the more guys the merrier lol. Just don’t need them for art...

    From the looks of your site, (Which is glorious BTW) the estrogin is strong with you! I'm the same, as I am on an estrogin high right now, my Gns1-8 males are collecting dust! But the character looks great, just don't render too many guys after all...

    If you have Tousled Hair, you can put that on your character, delete the hair fibers but leave the cap, and then fit Malik Hair to the cap. Then you can use the morphs in the cap to reshape. Once you've got it looking as you like, you can use the eyeball in the scene menu to hide the cap so it doesn't show or get computed for a render.

    Thanks @Fisty & @vwrangler! I currently suck at dFormer, but I DO have Tousled Hair, and that is a great idea! I may even try fitting it to one of AprilYSH's earlier hairs so I can use all the adjustment & hairline morphs in those. I'm so glad I asked.

    Something quick and simple of Silas, a little bit of Daigo dialed in.

    Hi,

    I haven't purchased much in the PA sale this year but I really like Silas. He takes expressions well...it was easy to give him an easy open smile in the test render.

    Thanks @takezo_3001! I did end up getting just the character and another add-on because they were basically free with the 20% off coupon with a gift card in the cart. Haven’t rendered him yet though, but looking forward to it. I have to remember to render more males so people know I’m capable of doing them lol! And I REALLY have to update my website with tons of new art!

    Me too! I have not been able to upload images from an iPad or iPhone lately! Only from the computer. I wonder if something has changed...

    Boy, the shine wore off Silas' thread quick! Having been spoiled by the superiority of Babina's skin (she replaced Zelara as my favourite Genesis 8 skin), I was hoping for more of the same. Unfortunately, Silas' skin quality is more on the lines of Latonya than Darius 6 (who is still reigning king). His release is helpful, and his morph was a nice option to build upon.

    I really like this character, I particularly enjoy mixing him with Diago. I wish there were more pictures of him posted in this thread.

    Here's a picture of him I did tonight using his Stefon add-on.

    It looks like Curly Top Hair for Genesis 3 and 8.
