It was a forum thread on another site with member SamTherapy and it was probably as long as 15 years ago. To my recollection it was Victoria 4. Who it was though, was neither here nor there, as the whole point of MY post was that the base figures are plain on purpose so that you can make them into whoever/whatever you want, not WHO was the base figure. God forbid I misremembered or that SamT used the same phrase twice for two different figures.

And yes, it was trite. And if your intention was to embarrass me, you succeeded. Congratulations. I can go back to lurking. :confused:
I remember the treads with V4 complains, and I remember SamTherapy .. I don't believe it is just Mandela Effect lol

Stay on @AllenArt , take it easy and no more lurking !

Yeah, Red Hair. This is how my hair looks uncolored :laugh: Love it.
When I woke up this morning I like the hair lol reminds me of the Japanese cartoon style hair , I just blowed it with a dynamic brush lol
of course it completely changing the concept , but maybe I can do second one as I got some idea, definitely red , maybe some braids on the side to make it more of an old style mad max lol other way she looks like a fashion model pretending ..
I am going to make pool on Twitter and Facebook and see what people pick up for her too.

OpehGL Zbrush , colors just for visualization

Wow! Looking at all of this made me think of my 5 year-old niece playing in the backyard, talking to herself, saying, "Girl, you can do anything!"

Many years (decades) ago when I first started coloring my hair, it was more like the Fiery Red, but in the summer months, it would get bleached out, and that I didn't like, so my hairdresser switched to a shade of Auburn, and it stays much the same shade of red all year.

like with all the lighter colors, it never stay for long and washing off too quickly and in summer even faster, Auburn is the most popular color , very solid and durable , I had a very hard time to get rid of it , had to grow it out to get back to lighter shades.

BTW question to everyone watching this thread, do you have any specific wishes regarding clothing for the female characters for the future ? I was out for 3 years from our community so did not followed what was done for preview version of Dawn and want to make something new in the future that was not already done.
Something unique, something special , less standard outfits.
Right now the market trends are for messy hair and techwear

any feedback would be more than welcome!

Good "Space" clothing would be nice. Things a pilot might wear, or someone with battledress off duty.
Victorian, is always nice. Good Tudor clothing. Cultural costumes are very nice, too, all different cultures (I've never seen Eskimo clothing!). How about Buckskins and Pioneer wear? Like AllenArt said, some of the fashion fads that are iconic - 80's dance/legwarmer outfits. Goth (you see a lot of that, anyway), 70's bell bottoms and vests, 60's Boho, Flappers and Zoot Suites. Military style uniforms. Just some thoughts.
