What do we all think of the avatar Manuka? I'd like to hear everyone's opinion
-
From one side people say she's an adult model, on the other side people say she seems rather young.
Which side are you on?
How old do you think she looks?

personally, i think the whole age of appearance debate is entirely on the side of the person editing her and how they intended her to look. if someone made her as soft as a chiffon, you can make a case of her looking young and childlike. however, if someone had the intent to make her look more mature and used different makeup, hairstyles, and outfits to accomplish it as well as they could, it wouldn't be too difficult to see her as more of an adult in that case.
trading sucks. i'll just give you the assets i have if you want them, though i would definitely appreciate getting some as well. especially vinzo tattoos.

out of curiosity what would you consider this one for example
-
@Lillian face shape, makeup, outfit and hair choice give me the vibes of a more mature edit.
-
@LocalBozo A mature vibe was indeed what was intended but was told that it still seemed a bit young to have such an outfit
@Lillian usually you hear that from people who still get their models off gumroad and think flat chests on a booth model are a guarantee for it being a child, so i wouldn't give it all that much of a thought.

@LocalBozo good point
-
Scale the head down a bit and increase the overall scale. The head/body proportion is huge in making an avatar look younger or older. Some of people are beyond saving though (I've seen Raruh be called a loli model, anyone that far gone can just be blocked.)

@Lillian suggestion--keep every bone the same size on each axis. otherwise you'll be stretching like a yoga instructor and it'll look weird as fuck. not sure if that's what you did but that head looks like it got placed under a hydraulic press laying on its side.
usually 0.925 or 0.9 looks best.

imo the change of head shape looks already more mature- if you like how it looks then go for it! if you don't maybe tweak/change it up a little until you do, but that definitely gives mature to me

I personally see Manuka as an ageless doll who can morph into anyone. I mostly use her base because of the customizations options and the compatibility with most assets i use. She's over all adorable but i dont think the fbi will break down your door if you choose to put some spice on her.
-
I agree with most opinions here, for me personally I love the model but without editing her proportions she's much too young looking. I personally do a headswap with her head and another body, but I think you can get away with using her body as long as her head is shrunken a bit.

For me Manuka is kinda teenage girl, not adult at all. A lot of comments say that it will be change if style model in different way. Imho it kinda 8 grade girl stole mother's makeup and clothes for party to seem older. Its kinda cringe. And Manuka was made as model not adult at all. Because in booth its several category of popular avatars: minor teens like Manuka, big boobs sisters like Moe, childs (loli) like Shifon&Karin, cute characters like Mamehinata, and kinda rare cool adult girl like Shinra. And as you can check a lot of avatars are teens or childs and they sexualizated so much (´；ω；`)ｳｩｩ
As grown up women i'm so struggle to find avatar what can represent me and i will not feel cringe when use it.. -
@Lillian that looks so cool!
i like manuka too, but i don't use her that often :3
