Oh, one last comment on why so many expressionless Vicki's out there--and quite a few but less expressionless Mikes. It's hard to make expressions that don't look cartoonish. You absolutely can't do the the canned ones-- unless you use nfredman's incredible Expressives series [unpaid plug]-- because most canned ones look like they were done by a fan of Tex Avery. Bug out eyes and all. Short story: hard to make Vicki have an expression and still stay pretty. Most commercial Vicki texs come already pretty, many people just stick with that. The fact that they also often come cross-eyed is an unfortunate fact as well. Put enough of them in a gallery and some people who don't know how to make their own aesthetic decisions think that's the norm-- that's the standard, gor help us! I've done a few, I'll admit it. I try hard not to. Emily
