Description In H.S, Skylar was the star of her basketball team. Her exploits constantly written up in the local paper, she was all set to attend a major university on a 4 year scholarship even though she well below average height of a college player. Unfortunately, before the season ended, she suffered a major knee injury which needed surgery and the school pulled it's scholarship.

Skylar now attends Seaside City College with her best friend Devon (who is a cheerleader there) where she plays on the basketball team proving knee is rehabbed.

Her main hobby is cars and motorcycles. She works on them in her part time and drives and classic Mustang convertible when not riding her motorcycle.

Part 6



Notes: I have made a few changes to Skylar over time and I think I have her just how I want her....

Instead of the longer more feminine red hair and darker makeup, I changed her to a shorter hairstyle and less makeup.... away from a glamour look.... Skylar is a jock, a multi sport athlete coming off an injury where she lost her 4 year scholarship to a major university. Her body is more athletic than Devon and her hair/makeup is more "wash and wear".

Her skin has been a bit of a challenge. She's a fair skin red head of Irish decent with lots of freckles. Just putting freckles on the base skin map, did not get the results I wanted as they were barely visible. I ended up adding an overlay texture and translucency texture. The freckles are more pronounced but I have to be careful now as the other characters have much simpler toon based textures.

Yeah, I've been going back and forth on what kinda of bike to give her.... I go back forth from an old classic, a cafe racer or something harley....esque....

Hm, I had to look up "cafe racer" because I'd never heard the term before. But I do imagine it might fit her; though how you'd "build" something like that for DAZ I am clueless.


On the other hand, considering that she likes tinkering with machines, an old Harley would make sense too.


I can also imagine her with a "crotch-rocket" racing bike, or even an off-road bike. Decisions, decisions.

Yep, They're all good options. I just need to decide which one matches her personality best going forward....

Yeah a lot would depend on where she usually rides. Bikes are cheap enough she could even have a couple or more. Which one she chooses to ride depending on where she's going.

Yep. All factors to consider. I feel like she's too young thought to have more than one.... even though daddy has money....

Hmmm, since she likes to work on stuff an older Harley with a smaller CC engine would make sense. Something in the 650 CC range which is what my one bike was; though it was a Yamaha knock-off of the basic Harley frame. Newer Harleys were just so spendy. Even used they were spendy. I am not much of a tech-head so I didn't want something I was going to spend the summer trying to figure out repairs on before I could ride it where I could find a comparable Rice-burner that was actually drivable for the same price.

Yeah, I want a bike that will be size appropriate for her. I don't want some big street bike.... I have a lot in my inventory to choose from as well as few I have on watch so I'll come up with something.
