My goodness! I thought we were just getting Northern European, West African, North African, East Asian, & Latino (did I miss him?). You've got Buddy, Dali, Grandpa Mario, too? Dusk 2 is going to be set!
Yes the first basic couple go to be finished as soon as possible so hopefully I am ready for the official release of D2, that's my goal. I have of course unlimited resource to make any stuff so not limitations when comes to characters. I want to make in the future also anime characters so the list will be long and I am happy about it.

Wow! All this in one day?!?! You are fast! And good!

Thank you so much Dana , shaping characters take not long for me, maybe 2 hours per head shape , but then the technical side and adjustments take long time to make. The part I don't enjoy that much. I still need to adjust teeth ( positions and shapes) eyelashes , correction morphs etc..

I sent my boys to the park and sneaked in for another Zbrush session :p ;)
Her name is Pari ( means "fairy" in Persian language )

I just blasted her unmasked ears with smooth option just moment ago and did not noticed it, need to reconstruct it back now.

Oh yes!! Love this. Love his eyes. Well done.

The Last Samurai.
Thank you Chris , the eyes took me a little with the "double" eyelid , thankfully enough edges in the base mesh to make one and worked smooth without subdivision. I am still amazed with the base mesh , so inspiring ..

The last Samurai for now ;):D

Not really, I remember folks using that expression here in the US, but it was an older generation when I was in my late teens and 20s, so not recently.

I happen to agree with you though. That type of beard and mustache I like. It's the beards that cover the full cheeks and chin, and hide most of the face, I don't care for.

That is the problem , Dawn and Dusk have the irises slightly too narrow, I will correct it once I start rigging the shapes and put them apart a little bit, for all of my shapes. I did not touched the eyeballs , they are in the original position .
Just a point worth mentioning. The eyeballs themselves are pointed directly and exactly forward. It is true that the spacing from inside of the eye to the outside corner of the eye opening are not the same. This can all be adjusted with Paul's rigging work if need be.

Not to worry.

You know Chris also depends of camera focal and angle, but I saw a lot of Dawn's renders and people not bother to set the eyes right, since my shapes have different eye's forms I will need to adjust it once I am going to rig the shapes . It would be good for Paul to check it out to be sure.

yes, its a pretty old expression but wasn't sure if it was universal so thought I better explain just in case lol

Just found from Wiki: "Hubba, hubba" is a North American informal exclamation used to express approval, excitement, or enthusiasm, especially with regard to a person's appearance.

That's Dawn2 ???!!!???!!!

Oh how Dawn didn't get enough cartoon love, hopefully if people see this the new Dawn will!
Yes that is Dawn 2.0 , I like to switch from one to another , so my eyes are not used to the same . I will make a cartoon boy for her and maybe more with the time , but the cartoon family will be all for Dawn 2.0 , there is no need to separate it over to Dusk 2.0 as that would be double work and higher prices .

OK, so you guys Down Under stole it from us . . . we didn't steal it from you. :rofl:
Some says the USA Army soldiers stole it from the Chinese soldiers in WW2 , while they where in Florida. That suppose to be greeting in Chinese but since they did not understand it, they made up own word based on what they heard , just found it on google original word was "How pu how."
