Rendered in Poser 4.
I recently posted in the forum about Molly Mostly, an original Posette character by Rad. She was a famous Posette around the year 2000, star of her own digital comic book called ''The Erotic Adventures of Molly Mostly and Company.''
The comic consisted of about 130 separate rendered scenes by Rad, and told a nutty sci-fi tale about a Mary-Sue type scientist (Molly) lost in a fantasy dimension. The campy comic erotica appears to have been strongly influenced by the 1968 film ''Barbarella'' as well as an old print comic called ''Little Annie Fannie'' that appeared in Playboy magazine throughout the 1960s and 1970s. As far as I can determine, Rad''s once-free comic unfortunately is no longer available for inspection anywhere.
The comic book download also included a face morph for the protagonist, and I''ve recently been using that in an attempt to recreate the character. I can only say there was far more to Molly Mostly''s eccentric face geometry than Rad''s morph alone accomplishes. After several sessions of spinning various morph dials while paging back and forth through the comic book, the two slightly different results seen here were the best I could accomplish in my attempts to recreate Molly''s original looks. Both are close in facial appearance to Rad''s Molly, but still not quite her. Thus these results should be called Mostly Molly Mostly. :)
As far as I can determine, Molly Mostly did not have a ''signature pose'' as a comic-book heroine, so the ways I''ve posed her in this image are probably as good as any other for that purpose. As a character, Molly was mostly memorable for her complex facial expressions rather than her bodily stance. Molly''s lips are very thick and her mouth very narrow, which makes posing a smile on her a challenge. Both of the Mollies shown here look very happy on closeups, but not so much from afar.
Apart from the face, I was able to accurately recreate several of the original Molly''s outfits, as these were (for the most part) standard P4 clothing items.
On the left, masked version of Molly Mostly wears the P4 Halter Dress (with skirt made transparent), Gerald Day''s morph version of the P4 Dress Skirt), Black Stockings by SiCo3D, and the P4 Women''s Heeled Boots. The coloration of these items duplicates the Masked Molly''s wardrobe in her comic.
I made the face mask by using the Grouping tool on Posette''s face and spawning a prop in Poser 4. I made her remaining accessories using primitive objects. The red belt around Molly''s waist is called her ''Moon Belt.'' According to the comic, wearing the belt makes takes the edge off her wild swings of passion, allowing her to maintain a clear head and composure. Otherwise (without the belt) she''s insatiably lusty, as some side-effect of the process which sent her to another dimension in the first place.
On the right is regular Molly Mostly, as she appears on the preview picture for her face morph. For some reason never adequately explained in the comic, whenever Molly Mostly takes off her face mask, her hair instantly changes from pinkish-red to orange, so I duplicated that for look number 2. Regular Molly wears the P4 Catsuit with a transparency map and the P4 Tennis Shoes. The clothing is colored to match the original image by Rad.
Both Mostly Mollies shown here use the same hair as the original character by Rad, which I fortunately had in my archives. It''s called ''Hair with Bangs,'' and came with the P3 Xena the Warrior Princess character by renapd. For those who don''t have the old renapd figure, this polyglot hairstyle consists of three models glued together: P4 Child Hair, P4 Female Hair 3, and P4 Female Hair 4. Although Rad''s own Molly Mostly appeared to have a texture applied to the hair, I gave up on that hopeless task, as the hair model is a horrible mess in terms of texturing.
In the background is Brainstem, a Zygote robot character included with Poser 4. Brainstem was a supporting character in Molly''s comic. In a minor scene typical of the larger story, Brainstem saves Molly from importune by a salacious rhinocerous. The grateful heroine then helps the robot ''clean out his clogged tubing,'' which afterward improves Brainstem''s speech algorithms to poetic eloquence. :)
Behind everyone is a nice freebie prop called ''Backprop Wall 2'' by A::D:P. For most of the comic storyline, Molly Mostly is lost in a run-down urban landscape similar in appearance to this. |
