If I regret one thing about Antonia's base shape, it's the lips. She had some other peculiarities in her 'original' shape (meaning at the start of this thread) that people spotted and that I have subsequently corrected. There were the puffy areolae and the larger breasts for example. Also, her eyes were too big, and her pelvic floor was too low. I removed the labia detail from the base shape because it was a huge pain to work with when making JCMs.
And yes, her lips are just too full for a base figure, and unfortunately I've never been irritated by that enough to fix it. It's not wrong, and obviously I like the shape, but it would make morphing much easier if they had been toned down a bit. Oh, well...
The nose, on the other hand, I've never regretted. It's a normal-sized nose for a woman, and if one uses Poser with a proper focal length, it will look like a normal-sized nose for a woman. You want a base figure to look a bit 'bland', but still human-shaped. Starting with a doll face like the Vickies have will mean almost all your morphs will look doll-like, because very few people in this community have the skills or the patience to realize what's wrong with those faces and fix it. It's just too damn hard to make a realistic 3d human, take it from me.
