Released! - Draupadi For Genesis 3 Female (Commercial)
Draupadi pronounced (Dr - awPae - Diy) is a dark, sultry and sophisticated Indian goddess. Her makeups flatter and accentuate her skin color beautifully, and her additional alta and bindi options take her over the top!
Draupadi comes with an abundance of options including - 10 eyeshadows ( 3 of which have iray only glitter options), 4 different kajal liners, 10 lip colors, 8 eye colors,2 lash options ( full and natural), seperate options to apply alta to her hands and feet, 2 different bindi sizes, and 2 different bindy overlays. All of her options take use of the LIE which means you can build and layer all these options together.. and use on other Genesis 3 Female(s) characters
Draupadi also includes a browless option, and anatomical elements. As with all of my Genesis 3 characters, all textures are made with high resolution photos and no resources. Draupadi has both Iray and 3DL shader sets.
Over the past few months, Ive been learning new things.. and upgrading software..The software especially has allowed me to do some seriously beautiful, completely new - high resolution skin textures..which gives the most realistic skin possible :) Draupadi not only has skin designed solely for her, but her shaders are as well. For those that need or want to see the skin without clothing( as I have seen this requested over the last few months in the forums).. I will be posting those Monday more than likely at my Deviant account. I have the same screen name there :)
* Edited to add that I have uploaded a couple of the clothless promos to my DA account.. and will continue to add a few more :0)*

I agree, she is beautiful!
I don't buy many female characters anymore, I have so many already, but Draupadi is going in my cart as soon as she's released.
Thanks Adair :0)
She was so much work... But Im just over the moon with how nice I think she came out !
She looks awesome. I will definetly buy her, although I usually don't buy female characters. But I'm so much in love with Aibell (and her glitter skin) and Vincenzina to me is the most sensual character I have ever seen. And Draupadi already convinced me from your Promos. :) Your characters are so special. They look beautiful in their own way and not like all the others I even can't distinguish any more. I'm looking forward to see Draupadi in the store. Maybe, one time, you can think of a male character? Just a little suggestion which would make me even more happy. ;)
Aww thanks CZ :) That means alot to me!
I had started a male, back before m7 was gonna be released, but I just couldnt get him perfect enough for my own liking. I got lost trying to figure out options too. What is normally included in the males anyways? Its so very different making boys :)
Instant buy! Realistic character with features and colorings true to the ethnicity type represented here. Always happy when such excellent offerings (not just endless variations on the same basic character) are made available here at DAZ. Looking forward to proudly adding this creation to my runtime =)
Thanks Mcoor :) Im so glad you like her!! Im always happy when I hear that customers enjoy the more diverse characters! I find them so much more fun and interesting to make :0)
I really like the look of Draupadi - I'm another person who's trying not to buy any more female characters, but you caught me with Aibell and now I think you'll catch me again with this one!
wonderful !
Im so glad you guys like her!
Another ethnic beauty for my runtime! Now I've just got to find a character from my story to match her with :-D
I would also love to see you do some male characters at some point, chevybabe, but I can understand it's very different from the girls. What I wouldn't give, though, to have some gorgeous Middle Eastern / Indian male characters to go with your lovely ladies... :-)
Hmm..I need some more information.. If you could design a male character pack what would it include? Just a shaved/not shaved option and then options like eye colors? A couple of manly makeups?
Wow she looks fantastic!
Thanks Sorel :)
If I was to create a male character package, I would feature age as the main draw. A youth, an adult or a man in his mid 20's to mid 30's, and an elderly man. Men tend to draw a sense of character from aging rather than from facial hair or goth makeups. Male characters has to be versatile so going extreme in details can lower the chances of it being sold. For example, If the texture has a face mole but no option to get rid of it, I would not buy it simply because I may end up using the texture on mutliple characters. Because there are so many females, we crave distintion and uniqeness but for male characters, it is even worse because it has to be unique AND versatile at the same time because there are so few good ones out there.
If this is your first male character, I would go with a stylized or youth character first and build your confidence from there. From what I've seen of your style, try a greco roman youth, your characters have a dreamy exotic quality to them and a referance to an italian renaissance youth may the inspiration you are looking for. Your girls are lovely and unique and I'm highly interested in you persuing a male character.
Men don't need a lot of options, just shaved and a 5 o'clock shadow, and some eye colors. The rest depends on his theme. But I always buy one with age options.
Thanks! This is the information i was looking for- so maybe more distinct or detailed with morphs/sculpting/ normal maps and more generic in terms of skin features.
Knowing that the options dont have to be more than a couple of eyes, a shaven and five oclock shadow makes it much more appealing to me :0) Perfect!
There she is! Just yesterday I was wondering what happened to you, and I checked your vendor page to see if you had released something and I had missed it. Obviously, you have been spending your time well. With Draupadi you have once again achieved the balance between perfection and caricature that tricks the mind into accepting her as a real person. Bravo! And welcome back.
Good grief she is stunning! I too almost never buy new female characters but I have Aibell and just love her. This one will be a must have as well.
It depends on what sort of character you're trying to make. I would keep it basic for your first character, yes, just to see how it works. Probably an early 20s-30s adult, which seems the sweet spot for sales generally; an older character would be difficult as a starting point, because you need to pack in so much more detail, with wrinkles and age spots and all the stuff that makes the texture work, plus making sure that the underlying sculpt matches what you've done with the texture.
For what it's worth, I actually used Amisi's texture as the base for a male character. Don't get me wrong, I love Amisi as she is and have used her as such; I was just trying to come up with something different at a stage where there wasn't a lot of variety in the G3M male base. Plus you included a no-brows version of Amisi, which meant I didn't have to edit those out.
If you're going to do a male character, I'd love a match to Draupadi, myself!
(I didn't realize that dA account was actually yours. You should do more advertising!)
I feel so loved!! You guys are the best!
Yep- thats me. I rarely use da. I always feel like I will will get lost in the lot over there so I never post. I do. But I am going to make the effort to start advertising and being more active here and abroad :0)
I really like where this thread is headed- I've learned quite a bit this evening already! Thanks everyone :0)
Thanks to Kimo 7, Saiyaness, and RedzStudio there are at least meager options for G3M skintones from honey to dark chocolate. (No licorice!) With UV Swap and Oh My Brows I can take advantage of the few options Raiya, P3D & OziChick have given us for darker females and use them for G3M. All of my M4, Genesis 1-2 male skins will be available on G3M with CaymanStudios Genesis Pack being released soon. However, we sorely need some native (no pun intended) G3M textures of the toastier kind.
A male the colour of Sapphire (minus the orange tint) would be great if you can source a suitable photographic base.
What ever character you decide to make always do you!
Hon, you won't get lost on dA; we'll know where to look.
Seriuosly though, this is a nice character.
Holy crap, Chevy! I surrender! @_@ She's totally divine! Wow!! Absolutely gorgeous! She looks incredibly realistic! Have I used enough exclamation points??!! :p She is a sight for sore eyes, for sure <3
That's exactly the problem I have with male characters. They usually don't have a lot of options. There are a few, which have some kind of facepainting for the gothic or warriors type, but I only know one character which has some kind of eyeliner option. It would be nice to have some make-up options for males too. At least some eyeliner versions or smokey eyes and lighter or thicker lashes. Some Disco-Glitter would also be fantastic. (I have to try your close-up make-ups. I'm not sure if they could work for males too.)
I like to have different type of colors for the lashes or the eyebrows to match any hair color. And what would be awesome too, are different lip colors. Sometimes they are very bright and look pale. I like the more healthy look with natural darker lips. Maybe also one more glossy and one matt option would be nice.
Even if there are some characters with options for the guys, than usually the skin does not convince me. But I love your female skins! :) And as usual options are not layered, there is no chance to get the few available options on nice looking males. Just my very personal impression.
Oh, I personally don't need the non-shaved option, because there are some nice products (like Unshaven and Whiskers), that can do that to any character.
I have three of your characters; for some reason, I've only used one. Time to rectify that oversite. :)
Looking forward to this one too, looks amazing.
What I like, although you have a style I can recognise, they are all very different. Love 'em.
Oh, and thank you for providing one in a bikini, so we can see the textures.
After counting them, I don't think you did: you didn't even reach ten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edited lots for all the damn spelling mistakes. /sigh
Thanks guys! Im taking all kinds of notes here too :0) CZ I love the idea about the lips!
Lol!!* Blushes and Waves* Thanks Saiy! Where have you been hiding?
Thanks Nic! I try really hard to make each of them different :0)
Personally, I prefer to have separate stuff.
Like, I have stuff for makeup, freckles, and adding overlays of age wrinkles, eyebrows, etc.
To that I'd like to have a really good basic skin, maybe with a few options.
But I might not be representative of the market.
she's beautiful! real character in her features...and her skin is so gorgeous. the tones are so rich and deep...
i'm overjoyed that you're releasing a new character! i was thinking about your work just the other day. i upgraded my hardware last week, and my first thought was: okay, now you can finally use iray in preview mode...where's aibell? :)
so thank you for the preview...really looking forward to draupadi's release.

You should definitely be more active on DA. I found and followed you because I want to keep track of your new characters. It lets me know whats in the works and if I need to not buy something else if you have something coming soon that I want.
