Sukka for Dawn

So... there was mention made a while ago of a possible companion Dawn character to go with Nataani.

She's still morphs-only. I won't be able to even begin on her skin texture until I have a bunch of other projects done first. But I do think these morphs are a good match for Nataani...

Meet Sukka. :)

And a quick comparison of her morphs next to Nataani. Yes, she's rather short. But then so is he! LOL

So... consider this a quick sneak-peak. Sukka at the moment is morphs only. I'm working on some stuff for Glitter, and I have a couple other things that I need to finish in addition to those items. But once that's done, I'll begin working on her skin textures. :)

And as both the DS and Poser versions of Nataani did fairly well, YES, I will be doing both Poser-native and DS-native versions of Sukka as well.

YAY!!! I like her Seliah. She's definitely a good match-up for Nataani. :D

I think so, too. Nataani came out somewhat looking a bit Aleut in the face and body shape, so I went that route with Sukka.

I love love love her!

What skin are you using on her now? It looks really good on her.

Actually, this is the default skin that comes with Dawn SR2/original Dawn. As I frequently render darker skinned (though not African) characters, I often tend to fall back on the default skin that Dawn shipped with, because the other skins I have for her are rather pale Caucasians. And the store here only really has the one African character... and frankly, since the morphs are Poser-only and do not function in Daz Studio, I've never bought it because I would make use of the African morph as mixer-morphs more than anything else.

So when I need a brown or medium-toned skin, I fall back on Dawn's default, because with a couple of minor material changes, that skin can be a pretty good approximation of anything from middle eastern, to central asia, to native american/first nations. And as Sukka is meant to be more of a PNW or Arctic/SubArctic type, she needed the more brownish skintone, so I pulled out the default Dawn skin. It really is a gorgeous skin still. And it's very versatile. I actually use it the most out of all of my Dawn skins. (I do like Tempesta's eyes better, though I did not apply any of her eye textures in this case.)

So... yeah. Sukka at the moment (in these renders) is using Dawn's default SR2 skin. :)

ooo i like her tooo

I love her. She's a nice curvy lady! Great face!

Thanks. ^_^ Pacific Northwest/Arctic/SubArctic ladies tend to be a bit thicker and curvier. ;) Not always, but very frequently. I actually have a similar body shape to what's here on Sukka myself, because of my own bloodlines. I'm just a bit heavier than than what's seen on Dawn here, because well... babies. LOL

She's a great companion character for Nataani, Seliah, I really like her. She is a real individual beauty.

I've never used the old Dawn as I use SE because she's already set up for Iray but I think I might have to give her a go (not to mention I rarely use people at all anyway :D)

Your girl has the sweetest face, I can't wait to see where you go with her and she'll be quickly in my shopping cart or at least my wishlist.

Oh, I loaded the DawnSE figure, and Sukka here DOES indeed make use of some of the SE face morphs. I just simply loaded the default Dawn SR2 skin onto her, is all. :)

LOL - I have a few ideas in mind... I just can't begin working on the skin itself yet. I really need to get the other projects finished first... but I wanted to give a little peek at her. These were all quick test renders. There's a couple of spots on her face that I need to fine tune the morphs on yet - but again, that will come once I've gotten a few irons out of my fire here. :D

:thankyou: At least they look like they come from the same sort of ethnic stock! Or at least, I think they do. Dusk's nose doesn't like to cooperate with these types of ethnic features at all, otherwise Nataani's own nose would have been a smidge more broad. But he came out okay, too, and I think this girl will also.

Hopefully she's not as stubborn about leaving the nest as he was!! :rofl:
