@Matt_Castle > initially I was 'uh, it's not like Matt_Castle to keep a high-heeled pose when the character is not wearing high-heels', and then, well, I got it looking more closely.
On your other render, clearly, the car is not liking the weight of the centaure
I'm stretching thing a bit, because the most visible items are all items I bought some times ago, but I did get DM's Tiempetto last month (and this discussion is the first I found, the other one is likely further away from the front page…)
If you're thinking 'Hey, Elor, your Willow Creek's Stopover doesn't look like DM's Tiempetto at all', well, sure, but the pose used as a base for Gwennili's pose is from this product (and I bought the mane recently too, but it's from another store).
As I noted elsewhere, Herschel Hoffmeyer has been very ... consistent ... with his recent female figures, to the point where there is not really much point in buying both Belle and Lexi, and if you have either of those, you may want to rethink buying Scarlett. However, as the fool who owns all three, I felt a comparison was in order.
The body shapes and facial expressions are the way they load by default. Belle, in front, is the shortest and has the most pronounced breasts--so much so that I had to add a smoothing modifier to the clothing to get it to fit, and applying SY's breast clothing helper (which I don't own for G9) would probably been useful as well. Apart from the height and slight differences in the breasts, there is nothing to tell Belle and Lexi apart whatsoever. They have the same surfaces, or so close to being the same that I can't tell the difference casually. Belle is the one with special effects makeups; Lexi's are more normal. In this particular case, Lexi is wearing one of Belle's makeups so they'll match.
Scarlett is a bit different. She's in the back. She is a fraction of an inch taller than Lexi. She has slightly darker/yellower skin, a more angled-back face, and definite differences in her nose and lips. She has more of an Angelina Jolie vibe. She does have the most prominent ducklips of the three, so if that's an issue for you, do note it. Despite having a couple of specialized body surfaces, her face makeups are quite normal--the one I used on her here is the closest match to what Lexi and Belle are wearing. I could have used Belle's makeup on her, too, but it does make her face paler than the rest of her body. Otherwise, it works well. I could have used it here but then you wouldn't have a chance to see the differences in her base skin tone.
The outfits are Galactic Adventurer except the head caps, which are from the old G3 Integrated Circuit outfit, which I could not live without.
I question both the decision to make a gorgon digitigrade, as well as the idea that shoes for a digitigrade person covering their entire foot rather than just the toes and ball.
Here is Scarlett in Naked Vicki in a Temple With a Sword mode, except sans Temple. And she's not Vicki. The hair is FE Lively Double Ball Hair, the outfit is dForce BW Galactic Dancer, and the sword is from the dForce Iron Lady Outfit. I edited the post to put in the credits.

She looks really cute this way, quite cheeky and not so - well, in your face ... Sweet!

Also sans naked, unless I'm taking the term too literally.
@Gordig Rofl! Good point. Maybe Half-Naked would have been a more apt term. A quarter-naked? Actually I'm not sure a bikini counts as naked. Perhaps you are right.

The funny thing is, I've been playing around with Maddelirium's Saeya, and for a second there I thought you were pulling a fast one. (The eyebrows give it away though).
Note to self: In three-quarters, Scarlett has much more cheekbone than would otherwise be apparent.
@Columbine Scarlett and Saeya do look similar in these renders! Some of it may be pose and camera angle in my first render that I posted which makes her look more 'elfin.' I'm not sure. I just do a bunch of renders until I see one that I like. I'll attach a rough draft with a different pose where you can see more of her body. Unfortunately she has "Joker Mouth" which is why I consigned this to be just a draft. Hmm. I know at some point I tried dialing down the Scarlett shape a bit so the figure wasn't as "eye popping."
@Paulawp (marahzen) What a beautiful image. I love how in love the couple looks. Really magnificent!
I question both the decision to make a gorgon digitigrade, as well as the idea that shoes for a digitigrade person covering their entire foot rather than just the toes and ball.
I liked RawArt's Lekkulion model, but didn't have a huge lot of use for it as its original alien character.
In any case, it fits the bill that gorgons are supposed to be somewhat inhuman, but without falling into the trap of creating a snake tailed gorgon (which, while now reasonably prolific, only dates back Ray Harryhausen's work for the the 1981 Clash of the Titans film).
Shoe design wise? Well, the main thing is that I don't want to have to faff around with designing an entirely new variation of shoe (and I do have other digitgrade creatures to consider, like a variation of sphinx, not to mention I already spend a lot of time having to modify assets already) - but also, a full length shoe at least has the argument of being more secure on the foot than anything that tries to tie around the middle.
@barbult That's fantastic. It looks like an illustration out of a children's book. I love the look on the little girl's face. I hope Sluggo is a friend, not foe!

Well, when the Pop Out Cake Outfit and Pop Out Cake appeared in today's new releases, I knew exactly what you were all going to be subjected to today:

Reminded me of 'The Addams Family' film and that cake... Love it though.

A bit of post, the usual vinette, some detail sharpening and a vintage camera coloring.
I love this.
Seriously, thank you. Your renders always bring a smile, even on the rough days.

Well, as Lyoness's new Sweet Strapless Outfit is now out, you can have another one.
Gallery Link
(I helped with some of the testing on this, but I've had to wait for it to come out before I could share anything.)
And another one I can count for including something from the Shoe Closet 01 Bundle from a couple of days ago.
This was done for the (unofficial) Daz3D Slackers Discord's biweekly challenge, on the theme of "Too Late".
Gallery Link
(Also includes An English Village, which... well, I at least bought it within the last year, alright!)

@Columbine Nice review and comparison of the characters!

I mean, we're also posting on the Daz forums, so naked isn't really an option.
This is true!

Great lighting and super realistic! Very original characters too. And thanks for listing everything used. Put a couple of things in my wishlist.

That is outstanding! I thought someone had posted a photo.
Thanks, all, for the compliments. I was really happy with how these two came out.
They really do look happy. Their eyes are shining with happiness. The expressions are wonderful as well. Great work.
These are some things I got recently:
The Look Fairy Shaping Kit for Genesis 9 Feminine (2024-09-02)
Jungle Construction Kit 03 (2024-08-27)
CNB Alexa for Genesis 9 (2024-08-30)
Sluggo for Bullwarg HD ( 2024-08-08)
@barbult That's fantastic. It looks like an illustration out of a children's book. I love the look on the little girl's face. I hope Sluggo is a friend, not foe!
Beautiful image, Barbult! The details are flawless.
