Need Opinions on releasing a Freebie

I'm wondering what you guys think of a new character I'm creating for Genesis. Her name is Jenna and right now, she's just a shape (head and body). You guys think I should wait until I create her own mats should I release her as-is. Opinions on the shape are really helpful, I'm not sure her face looks different enough from standard Genesis. She won't require any morph pack or anything, by the way.

One of the biggest challenges with modelling figures for Genesis is removing some of the androgynous nature. I think Jenna's a bit too close to classic Genesis at the moment, and definitely needs some definition to bring out more feminine characteristics.

The best way is to work with a goal in mind. Whether that's reference photos or using existing face morphs as a concept. There will be a lot of discarded projects as you learn what works and what doesn't; goodness knows how many I've left on the scrap-heap. But as long as each project works towards the same goal, you'll be making progress.

My opinion?
Put some other texture than the default one on your morph - and then you can see whether she is different enough.
Textures are making a real difference - or not, in this case.

I think the face needs more attention. As for the release, polish the shape, release it, then work on the mats and release them as well.

I used V5 as the base instead of standard Genesis and it looks better. Still gonna work on her more. Thanks for the advice.

Now this is someone Mike would turn after on the street, good job :)! Now zoom in to see the face better and add some details (what about a more pronnounced cheekline?). For me, the body is ready.
