After a 'Vampirella' character for G3/G8F

I have the outfit sorted out including the fangs and hair but am really struggling to find a character for genesis 8 female or g3f that mostly resembles as best as possible the classic 'Vampirella' character. Her face most importantly. Any ideas here please?

Many artists have drawn her over the years, and each artist has a different take on her, so you'll want to be a bit more specific and link a few images. That might help us narrow down a G3 or G8 character that might get you the look you're after.
Hmm you are right. I guess I should ask you and anyone else who may have done Vampirella artwork with Daz, what character for G3F/G8F would you use? I am focusing on trying to get a face so it loosely resembles the character so don't worry so much on the body shape and colour tone as I feel that will be easier to get right but what one would you say generally might look acceptable or good for doing a G3F/G8F version of Vampirella? something similar to this would be ideal: https://www.daz3d.com/gallery/images/850876/
Mousso has a couple of characters that could work...

Babina could work as well.
Maybe "Pretty Base" could work as a starting point. There are versions for G3 and G8. G3 bundle was on sale very recently as a PC for a day, might be again in a catch up.

Any of the hard-bodies by Digital Touch probably?!?
I'm personally fond of Briony by Anagord (available on Renderosity)
Would this do?
Personally, I don't think the face of the character that you linked really says "Vampirella" to me. Don't get me wrong, it's a GORGEOUS image and wonderful artwork - It's just not the type of face typical of the character, imo.
For the most part, she's often portrayed with a strong jawline and high cheekbones.
That's not to say you can't portray her differently than that, of course, but those types of facial features (to me at least) is iconic Vampirella.
Here are some recent characters that, to me, look like they could make for a good Vampirella:

I can't remember the one I use, it is a G3 model but will see if I can find something - I modified the body some.
Thought I could look at the log file but for some reason my log is not openning. I THINK it is Godin's Ripley for G3 found at Rendo
Howdy Drekkan, would you mind pointing me towards your Vampirella outfit? Thanks!
Hi TraceSL, I looked for a character named 'Godin's Ripley' at Rendo, and sadly was unable to find her :-(

:( sorry, not sure at all what model it is then.

Godin goes by Valery3D now. Looking at her G3F characters at R'osity, I'd guess Nora? But it might also be a character not being offered any more, or something from a totally different artist.
Valery3D also sells here, and of those figures I'd say Luna for G3F has the best facial structure, although her skin is a bit dark for classic Vampirella.
TraceSL, what hair did you use in your images?
the one on the right is a 'new' one, NEVE Hair for G3 and G8, the one on the left is NERA hair for G3 and G8

Apropos of nothing, but some Vampi fans may remember Playboy centerfold model Barbara Leigh posed in costume for a few covers of the original Warren Magazine run of the comics. She was the person finally selected to star in a Hammer Films adaptation of the comic, acting alongside Hammer veteran Peter Cushing as Pendragon, a powerful wizard pretending to be a mere stage magician. Alas, Hammer went bankrupt and closed its doors just before they finalized the script and started shooting. Rather than waste the cotume, Leigh was photographed in a variety of poses and a few of those images became comic covers.
However, Ms. Leigh was not Hammer;s initial choice. The studio originally wanted Caroline Munro for the title role, but she declined when she learned nudity would be involved. Munro is probably best known to genre fans as Ariana the slave girl Sinbad freed in "The Golden Yoyage of Sinbad" (which resulted in the movie's villain, Tom Baker landing the role of "Doctor Who") and "Dia" in "At the Earth's Core" where she did perform alongside Peter Cushing.
Really, anysultry faced morph and texture set is viable as so many artists have drawn Vampi, but I'd suggest a likeness of either Munro or Leigh if you want to go with an "almost made" movie likeness.
As for Cushing, he did accept the offer. there's a site that discusses the movie and the article contains a photoscan of the synopsis Peter was given, revealing a drawing he made of his character. Cushing was a talented illustrator and sculptor of miniature figurines and dioramas on top of everything else. He made a hobby of recreating pivotal scenes in the various stage productions he acted. I've wondered if he did something similar for his movie roles. Imagine, a shelftop diorama of his "victor Frankenstein" animating his "Monster", his "van Helsing" staking Christopher lee's Dracula, or, his Moff Tarkin threatening Princess leia as vader stand by, ready to intercede! I have read no accounts Cushing modeled movie scenes, but if he did, collectors would pay kings' ransoms for them!
Update: I forgot to note the cover for the comic's and character's debute featured a painting but the late lamented fantasy artist Frank Frazetta. He gave the "Last Daughter of Drakulon" several of his characteristic elements, such as a curvatious frame we'd probably describe as "thicc" nowadays. Her face was rather "moon shaped' (read: "round" features) with East Asian epicanthic eyelids. Rather different from the more sharply defined "triangular" face later artists would give her.
So it kinda' boils down to "almost anything goes". I stress "almost" because I doubt many people want to see the Vampi equivalent of "Sailor 'Bubba'". (Google at your own risk!)
Thanks TraceSL
