Anyone know what happened to Angel Wings? Her posts in PA are gone and image gallery vanished.

From what i can get from the rendo forums and other places, they had some personal issues earlier this year and has, apparently, just bugged out.
Happens from time to time with pa's.
Seen a bunch come and go over the years.
Last I read in their thread (before it vanished), DAZ wouldn't approve their latest creation, probably because they have such a taboo against child characters and what certain folks might do with them. Not much point being here if the store won't sell your stuff.
Pretty sure they came here specifically because people had been requesting they do an HD add-on for their charcters, like how you can get HD for Victoria 7 & 8, which is a DAZ store exclusive thing. I don't know what the HD addons provide because I've never bothered with them, but I think that's what they wouldn't allow.
Angel_Wings told us she would give it one more shot and after that vanished out of thin air. Child characters by others have been released in HD I don't think that is the problem.
Don't know what's going on, but she has now officially released Octavia HD: https://www.daz3d.com/octavia-hd-for-genesis-8-female
The child characters by others have been toonish ones.
Not all HD child characters are toonish. For instance, just look at Mia HD by Zev0 or Macey and Chani HD by bluejaunte.
She doesn't seem to like to follow conventions.
But Shaniquah is still not fixed and not reuploaded to her store.
Seems like some kind of compromise release. Her other characters had more versatility and added value with different age shapes, etc. Ah well, I don't really need any more kids but the other AngelWings characters are still my go-to if I need a family scene.
My bug report listing 8 issues with that product is 11 months old. A fix for the teeth was promised here in the forum, but never delivered. I had to make my own teeth fix morph. Until Shaniquah is properly corrected to meet Daz standards (probably around the time hell freezes over and pigs fly ), I won't buy any more.
Not all are toonish, but we need more children characters.
+1
Also not sure we'll ever see a fix for Shaniquah... I've lost count of the number of times she has spat her dummy out, deleted everything and gone dark. It's a shame because she does produce nice characters as long as you don't mind working round the issues with them, Zoey and Rikku are still some of my favourite characters.

What name does she trade under at Rendo?
Octavia HD - not very beautiful girl turned out
She doesn't.
She doesn't have a Rendo store anymore. She used the same name there before.
I don't think that it's a compromise release. The version of Octavia she already sold in private sell months ago does also contain only one age preset. Angel Wings also wrote in her (now deleted) PA thread that she wants to reduce the number of age presets of her future characters to only one or two, because anything else is too time consuming and she doesn't have enough time anymore.
My only complaint is AW doesn't keep in touch with her fans!
I thought it was some kind of butcher down release to please daz as well. Kind of a disappointing character.
Octavia isn't the best AW character, but I already had fun playing with her and ZevO's GrowingUp settings. ZevO's GU was made to give youth to the basic 1.8m high G3-8 characters and I found out that it works on the opposite purpose too . Here's Octavia with a minus 64.8 GU Young Morph setting and some ZevO's aging morphs, The hair is LucieHair from my own work (still in progress). AW made wonderful young characters and I hope she won't mind about my alternative use of her young lady,
Where did AngelWings go?
..sad, I have her Clhoe charcter which has several age presets and was hoping for a male counterpart.
Angel Wings has 2 male characters to my knowledge, I own Markus G8M which was sold on Rendo a while back. Would have to PM her and see if he is still available.
Good luck because she doesn't answer messages now.
She doesn't answer messages now.
But she was online at 18 august.
She's back. Not here, though.
Good news. Could you give an idea of where to look if you can't add a link? I did a quick check at Rendo without luck.
Thanks in advance.
I think you need to check again
She has a couple of recent posts in the gallery with her status and new characters.
Thanks, I must have missed her posts. I'll try again.
