Accessories and extras for Lenore and the Raven
A little survey of toon items, that seem to fit with the new Lenore and the Raven characters for Poser. Some would need retexturing, to match Lenore’s distinctive goth colour-scheme:
* Toon Clock.
* Skel-E-Toon (probably best seen in silhouette).
* Black fur matte for 3DU’s Pocket Pets Toon Kitty. Also Fishbones for Kitty, and some Toon Kitty AniBlocks for DAZ.
* Zombie Alchemical Ingredient Sacks.
* A Gothic Bird Bath for the Raven.
* Morphing Gothic Window/Arch (with similar-looking skull to the skull which comes with Lenore).
* Toon Daisy for Poser (could be a cheerful comedic counterweight to Lenore’s gloom).
* DAZ Studio 3 ghost shader presets (turn Lenore into a ghost. Requires DS 3.1.2.32 or higher).
* Possible House Exterior.

Vue 11 announced, for release in November 2012. Lots of improvements to various EcoSystems components, and the promise of…

Lenore launches
Loving the look of the new Lenore and The Raven for Poser, which currently have their launch-discounts applied. Perfect for a webcomic.
Suitably retextured in black/white, I’d say that the Waffling Shruggle would be a nicely matching “third character” for a Lenore-based comic strip. Godfrey Lil’ Death could also work.
Apparently, DAZ users should adjust Lenore’s skirt material to 99% gloss to get a better look in DAZ.

Cthulhu lowered
The DAZ Store’s excellent Cthulhu Rising is currently on a 40% discount, which brings it down to $20.97. That’s lower than the initial launch discount, if I remember rightly.

3D content survey: ‘bad hair day’ for Poser and DAZ Studio
Tired of ‘Barbie and Ken hair’ for your characters? Need a ‘bad hair day’? Here’s my survey of some of the wilder and weirder hair types available for Poser and DAZ Studio. I’ve left out the anime-style mega-bunches, the flower-strewn faery braids, and the neon punk-rock mohawks.
April YSH’s Calais Hair and Morphing Ruff…
Fire Goddess Hair at Renderosity and Fire Goddess’s ShoXoloR MAT sets…
Nightflower Hair seems good for a 1950s high-camp Vampirella-style character…
Also look at the free Upside Down Hair and the free wild cat-woman hair.
Need a snake-haired Medusa, the “turn you to stone” woman from ancient myth? There’s Naga Hair, although it looks a little old now.
The same can be said of Medusa Hair for V4…
Looking much better and with fully posable snakes is the more recent The Gorgon Medusa for V4…
A neat little sci-fi take on the Medusa myth is the free Medusa Head Prop…
Weird fantasy hair for men seems much less common than for women. There are a few ‘bandana and pseudo-dreadlocks’ hippies, but the male hair I liked the most was Volg for M4 (although it’s rather Wolverine-like, as most sci-fi/comics people will spot instantly)…
I also found a quality freebie monk tonsure for M4…
Surreal Esidor Hair for Esidor Hair would go well with Venetian or feather masks…
It looks very old now and it might need some postwork, but you might also want to look at the free Alien Hair…
Need something sparse and troll-like? MOST’s free Troll for V3 comes complete with hair…
That’s it! Hope you found your hair to dye for!
