    I love Alice. I only sort of see the logic behind (1) making her their brand and (2) not being willing to sell their brand. It still seems counterproductive to make all their clothing items for Alice, but then never selling Alice. 

    It's possible that Alice is a character that is near and dear to the artist's heart. I have characters that I've written novel-length stories around...I would never want to see them anywhere else but in my artwork (or possibly as part of a fan's fanart, which in that case would be the fan's interpretation of my character). Sometimes it's not about the money.

    Perhaps they should just release a body morph like they did with V4. But the problem here is that the more people see the character in product promos, the more they want it. It's the same thing that happens with joelegecko's character who appears in DOs, like the goldtassel PC+ hairs.

    Also, you might notice that Alice doesn't look exactly the same in the various promos in their shop. Sometimes her face looks toony, other times she looks more inhuman, etc. Her round, different colored eyes are consistent, though. If anything, the best option is to dialspin your own version to get close to whatever you like most about her.

    There were/are multiple Alice characters {realistic, Faery, Yly etc..) so the various characters can look fairly different.  This conversation is an odd one; merchants are selling the product that they are selling and nothing more and nothing less so there is no obligation to also sell the model as well as the clothes.

    They don't seem to want the model with clothes, they just want the model available so they can make their own renders with it. Other characters like Olympia 7 or Babina 8, don't get asked this as much since they're easy to find and are for sale.

    It's almost like the clothing identification posts for characters and pose sets. People see these in the promos and think they'd be good to incorporate into their projects.

    Understandable but this is an unrealistic expectation.  I once worked in a bookstore a long time ago.  The cardboard displays that books are presented in are called "dumps" and they often can be very elaborate with lights, sounds etc...  I can remember  people asking if they could buy the dump rather than the book and having to explain that we were a bookstore so thy can only buy the books.  Aerysoul gets to decide what product they want to sell.

    I haven't looked in AGES but AS had a Deviant Art page where they gave some stuff away. I downloaded a lighting set or some such.  Not sure what they have now, but might be worth a look, you might even be able to read more from the actual artists about all this.

    I've been a big fan of Alice from the first time I saw her and would buy her in every Genesis version offered (just to show support!).  I have V4 and Yly and lots and lots of AS clothes and poses. She never gets old for me.

    In the comments, as @Gogger suggested, you can read the creators' postion on the figure and the likelihood of a G3/8 version (not likely).

    I remember they didn't want to release her morph at all but due to requests they decided to do extremely limited releases.  She was indeed their "trademark" and very distinctive so they didn't want there to be a flood of alice images everywhere.

    As promised, I present Genesis 2 Female as Alice...

    Please can you share the Alice morph. Thanks

     

    Noone except AS can share the morph.

    I tried transferring Alice head and body morphs in GenX2.  Body transferred fine.  The head morph not so much (eyes sunk in) any ideas?  Thanks!
