I'm more interested in the design choices behind her looks.
Why asian, why freckles? Why those facial proportions?
This can't just be one artists preference. There has to be business decisions behind it all of it.
Optimizing breast size for success on Instagram, is a design meeting I would love to listen in on!

a few years from now, we're going to have the top instagram accounts all being photorealistic computer generated posts with AI determining the content that real humans want to see.
Does it really matter if it's real, while attracting millions of real eyeballs? Pixar movies aren't real, and they attract millions of real people.
CGI vs real but heavily photoshopped influencers...
I did find it really interesting that a CGI character could be more appealing to brands as there is much more complete control over image, no past issues, etc.
Reminds me of Hatsune Miku, virtual pop singer in Japan. As CGI continues to improve, wouldn't be surprised if we start to see entire digital labels churning out multitudes of artists/bankds
