Good morning and thank you for your motivating reply!!!
I must apologize for procrastinating this reply. I started replying almost two weeks ago. I literally got snowed in because my mini-cooper doesn't like snow that is as tall as it is. that took a week. In that week, i was off the internet because my computer crashed. As I attempted to recreate my tabs on my browser, I was getting distracted because the sites I had visited had been shut down or terminated. (I was looking at sites that had Li Mei to download instead of going through Renderosity) I guess I got a quick lesson in viruses and ransomeware because it took my computer down AND disabled my Malwarebytes) If that wasn't enough, my Malwarebytes account terminated itself and I was forced to buy a new license. So this week I plan on visiting Renderosity.com and getting my own copy of that character. Fortunately, Daz3d had a complete bundled set "Dark Ops; ready to render" which included free Victoria and Michael base models. If you haven't noticed, Daz3d (Professional) is actually free and every Tuesday they load free models and such. This week, it is Stephanie 6 starter bundle. Also, Poser had upgrade to Professional as low as $49.99 so I was able to upgrade my Poser 7 SE and now am able to use all models and swap betwixt Daz3d and Poser. Oh, I noticed quite a few artists here on DeviantArt paying respect to Li Mei - I'm guessing that is how it should be pronounced but may have got bunched up in the confusion department. So before you replied, I had seriously thought it was VH Lilflower and actually looked over VH Li Mei because I didn't notice her tattoos. Well, now I can start buying the rest of the props to recreate your Chasing Dragon. If I ever get out of the pretzel manufacturing business and actually create a model and have success, I will surely let you be the first to know. On my daz3d wishlist, I have the following items: Japanese Tea and Garden, Eastern Dragon, Eastern Dragon Poses, Darkseal's Anthromeat, Dragonlady and/or dragon princess poses, Anjiru and I'll figure out the rest. Over the last two months, I've managed to download 286 characters, scenes, poses and props legitimately directly from Daz3d.
How? I go to their storefront's main page and list all items by price; lowest to highest. You'd be surprised how many items they give away. Even Renderosity, Content Paradise and other sites have many freebies. Yes, like I said - my attention span is all but gone. I'm surprised if I finish this reply to you. You know speaking of Godin's characters, I would eventually like to recreate on of my favorite YouTube videos with his character VH Sapphire.
Just google; Samba Dancers In Japan and you'll see what I'm talking about. Asakusa 2016. She stands out and smacks you around as she does that dance... Ah, let me close this reply with my upmost gratitude for your inspiration and your most talented Art. Thank you always!!!
Sincerely,
Sissyhigashi
