I was rooting quietly for the current model and also # 3 (also freckled) but I had prepared accordingly if another one was picked. I thought the current Kiyomi model might have a shot (which it turned out was correct, she was close behind and a factor in why I picked her for Kiyomi later...I kind of pictured her that way anyway) Side note, Kiyomi is the only model I have used with no alterations at all -- for everyone else I have always tweaked something, but when I loaded her I just thought she was fine right out of the proverbial box. Most customized one is Olivia. I've even toyed with the idea of later letting Patrons vote if Olivia should tweak her hair color to one color as she gets to a certain point in the story, but not sure yet. (I'm very reluctant to mess with her at all)
I kind of wanted a redhead for Veronica because the other Karlssons didn't have that yet. My three biggest slaves at the time (Nathan/James are still here two years later) were pushing HARD for the current Veronica model (Nathan at the time offered to throw in extra $$ just to pick her) so I did take that into account if # 6 might have lost narrowly. But it turns out the Patrons picked her anyway and frankly I think a lot of them are really good at voting for good options when you look back in hindsight!
For Alexander, not really sharing his physical description yet.
I have one last big batch of renders to finish and that's it for rendering anymore. I'm one day behind where I wanted to be today, but 1-2 days ahead of where I feared I could end up, so I'll take it.
