Today I practiced using Sculptris on my base figure, Genesis 2 Female. A day’s work generated a head morph and a full-body morph which, together, create Yelizaveta, the character below. I did the major work on the head morph in Sculptris, then refined it in Daz Studio with Die Trying’s 182 Morphs for G2F. I did the body morph entirely in Daz Studio with D-Formers and refinement with Die Trying’s 182 Morphs for G2F.

I originally started in Sculptris with the idea that I was going to make a morph so that G2F could resemble a Jumeau bebe doll. Along the way, the concept shifted toward something more realistic. As usual, my penchant for strong features came to the fore, and I added a square jaw, a heavy, pointed chin and a broad face. I’m so sick of smooth, generic, undifferentiated characters that look pretty much like the base G2F that I wanted to do something different. No subtle changes for me — I wanted to obviously and significantly alter the mesh in the pursuit of a character with actual personality.

So here’s the default Genesis 2 Female figure on the left and Yelizaveta on the right:
