mulch00: Many thanks! That is an epic response!

I meant the 'swallow before viewing thing' as a joke, but i'm glad it actually legitimately helped ya!

Especially because I drink Tea as well, & that stuff's best hot, so it's NOT a fun thing to choke on!

mochen: Being normal is overrated anyway!

Those Art Pics rock! I wish I was that good! This is the best I can do when working from scratch:

This was a Pic of Stanley Woo for a Thread centered around him. That's the extent of my ability to make artwork from scratch. It was made in Paint.NET. I would love to be able to do art like Schratty can.
Tristan & that scar definitely fit! It makes him looks like he just survived a trip through hell, after beating the snot outta the place!

Princess Misaki's gorgeous!

I dunno if the Eye Makeup might be a tad strong though, it's making it harder to see her Eyes, or is this intended?

Silentmode: Aedan's Lower Lip could use some thinning, but that's it. He's great! he looks strong, noble, dignified, & 'don't cross me!'!

Rana definitely looks the 'mysterious past' type!

& no, it's not weird to wanna romance your Character when ya can easily render them scantily clad.

Nonetheless, I recommend fighting the feelings, for it would never work out. I've actually read an article once talking about a guy that actually seriously married a Video Game Lady! I do not recommend that course of action...

(I even made a Thread about it long ago, only for it to get locked, because to my complete embarrasment, I failed to find out in time that there was already a similar Thread I didn't know about before it was too late...

xl3lueazndragonx: The trick is to place the Character near something solid, like a Wall, & position the Camera to try to stick it in the wall, which it can't do, so it gets shoved forward by the wall. Hope that's clear enough. Hold Right Click + Mousing around is your friend too, especially if ya decide to take a Screenie of your Character not standing straight toward the wall, or wanna angle to the shot!
