An interesting new character just popped up on the front page, can't see much yet as it looks like the site is still being updated for the new character, as for me a lot of the new content is showing as free.. :)

    it always shows as "free' for the first bit, it won't go in cart as free tho...give it a bit for prices to settle. 

    What are the thoughts on her?

    I don't know if this link will help for those who don't have the new store banner showing as yet:

    It's yet another Thorne fairy girl.  Nothing really unusual about her, and a fairly average bundle, but those who like Thorne's style will be happy and others will gripe about the usual lack of anatomical elements.  It IS a really cheap Pro Bundle if you're getting the Purple Bar offers, though, as she's discounting to 79% off in my cart without any of the add-ons in the cart, just the two "new" PC+ items items and the pro bundle.

    I think she looks fantastic! Instantly going in my cart. 

  • Yup. Thorne fairy, go into cart. Pretty automagic like that for me.

    As a huge Thorne fan and all things fairy I think she is adorable and it's a great discount on the probundle if you have the purple banner.  There are some great character morphs and love the new hair by AprilYSH. Went into my cart instantly but will wait until tomorrow to purchase to be sure the prices are settled down.

    I'm not a huge fan of fairy type people - although I do enjoy lookign at other art of them. So while I'd be on teh fence about the fairy character, I'm actually really liking the look of the rest of the stuff in the bundle. 

    Hinkypunk's Fi looks freakin' awesome!

    April's Peony hair is a no-brainer - it's done by April so I want it LOL but it's also a really cool design!

    Cynderblue's Hala looks really cool too! I don't think I have anything by that vendor yet, so am unfamiliar with her work, but I love skins that are different like that, not just the normal pretty girl. 

    I like the Dark Fairy gown too - (duh it's by Sade and I dig everything she and MoonscapeGraphics do anyway LOL). Looks versatile - you can use the underneath garment as a leotard or swimwear (with shaders) on its own, and you could use the overgown separate too. 

    Mada's Night Petals dress is totally cute! Plus I can see with different textures you could use it as a non-fairy dress too, so it definitely has versatility. 

    Poses are poses - there's always a use for them. Expressions..meh, don't really use them but they're always in a pro bundle so no getting away from them. 

    I gotta say, from someone who doesn't particularly like fairy characters, there are more products in this pro bundle that I like and would use, than in other pro bundles I have bought in the past. LOL

    People were sad that Underbelly didn't have his bits. :-D

    Ha! Dark Fairy.

    Maybe Daisy is Underbelly's partner, for everyone who likes to 'ship these Daz models.

    I agree that Hinkypunk's Fi looks freakin' awesome!

  • butterflyfishbutterflyfish Posts: 1,275

    She's cute. I like her. Nice work on this one.

  • xyer0xyer0 Posts: 6,064

    Although I have no use or desire for another Thorne girl, I know from experience that the skin will be good, and Daz was nice enough to give a makeup-free promo so we could see for ourselves. I went through the Pro Bundle, item-by-item, and all of the products look very well-made. @Arki has even joined the Pro Bundle crowd, which is such a thrill! The add-on characters all have add-ons that make them useful for non-fairy purposes. Daz made this an easy decision for me.

    The Genesis 3 ad copy says: "Buy any Debut or Still New Items and get up to 5 Select Genesis 3 Characters for $1.99*" But the effect in the cart is $1.99 EACH rather than 5 for $1.99, which is the meaning of the ad copy.

    I don't render a lot of faeries but I think she looks great so I might render more now (especially as I made a new set for her ;) ).

  • Ghosty12Ghosty12 Posts: 2,068

    She does look good and well as with most faerie characters, they all tend to be happy go lucky good types.. I think this is probably the first evil type faerie product, which tends to not happen often if at all..

  • For me she looks like she could have been just a character or even make-up options for Rynne or Mika. Not enough to set her apart as a brand new base character imho. And how cheap her pro bundle can get shows they know it too, at least to me. If they are running out of ideas they might as well just finally release friggin' Lilith 8. I mean... I'd say it's already been enough non-"white super model women" releases so the complainers about that can't complain, right? angel

    I wonder what is supposed to make her "evil" - is it the slightly gothic dark makeup? For me she looks just like all the other Thorne fairies...

  • nicsttnicstt Posts: 11,715

    Haha,

    I was thinking, Thorne has been busy again.

    Yep, then I looked at the details, and yup, Thorne has been busy.

    I'm a sucker for the goth or dark look - expecially coupled with elves.

    IMO, we already have Lillith 8 in all but name. There are a few candidates, and the theme is pretty much covered too.

    I'd be awfully thankfull if someone would post a picture of Dahlia without having Daisy dialed in. Looks kinda interesting to me...

    I'm assuming you mean Tasha 8. She's close, but not really, doesn't covers Lilith's spot. Tasha is covering mostly Arabella's spot. No idea who else is supposed to be among the candidates. If you compare the Genesis 2, Genesis 3 and Genesis 8 lineups, you should notice how the characters became more, let's say, "grounded in reality" (Mei Lin is probably one of the characters you can see this the most). And that's fine, but for me Lilith 8's "thing" should be the one that keeps that kind of exaggerated and exhuberant look without falling into "cartoon character style". You know, the succubus kind of character. I really can't say there is already a character covering that. Certainly no more (or close) than any other fairy character can cover Daisy 8's spot.

    And since we are here... Anneka 8, when? There, another character that would have been also a better addition to G8F's lineup smiley

    I'm not interested too much in fairy stuff, but this little one looks really interesting and cute. I think it is because this is partly a Morris- and not only a Thorne character (which are looking imo more or less all the same). Lovely!

    A core character new release on my 30th birthday!! How awesome! However, I can't afford her as for some reason I've not got the purple banner LOL! Strange, as I've got a purple banner for the last three pro bundle new releases and I've actually bought another pro bundle since then. Is the Daisy 8 purple banner not linked to pro bundle ownership perhaps?  

  • bjoernb78bjoernb78 Posts: 140

    Good offer with purple banner, but I'm not that much interested in another fairy.

    For a fairy bundle I miss the wings.

    Maybe later.

    Happy twinning birthday @caravelle !!! :D :D Twinning being especially appropriate for us, seeing as we are under the crazy sign of Gemini! I mean, I'm quite sure I don't believe in astrology, but perhaps I'm wrong and we are in fact "The Twins"!  wink

     

    And thank you for the birthday wishes @SilentWinter! It is so kind of you to post in order to send them our (including caravelle)  way! You're lovely and I hope today is a wonderful day for you smiley In fact, that is my official birthday wish, haha, so by the law of birthdays it shall be so! heart

     

    Also, it's just occured to me maybe the purple banner today is a special one only for those who own the other fairy Daz ft. Thorne bundles, like Rynne? That would make sense, and also explain why I've not got anything as I don't have any of the fairy characters.

    Just a quick test using Hinky's "Fi" and the "Dark Fairy Dress". Not a great pic but I'm trying to get my mojo back again *sigh*
