DHM  (Digital  Human  Modeling)  tools  have  increasingly  become  a  contributor  to  human  factors  engineering and user-centered design. Sources report however that little attention has been paid to the appearance of DHM virtual human models, i.e. manikins. Aspects of visual appearance have considerable impact on conveying beliefs and attitudes, something often used in industrial design to motivate solutions. This work aims to fuse the need of correct anthropometric representation in DHM with the artistic freedom available in visual art industries and  address the need of more humanlike appearances of manikins.
