First thanks for such a quick response. I already have smooth bobs so I was going for something versitile(wet hair, greasy, rocker,peasant girl, goth chic,vampire,etc). The prop is casting shadows but this can be turned off. The ends are, of course, transmapped with feathered strokes. I am making most of my hair props with blonde maps. As casamerica pointed out, they can be easily changed to almost any other color in photoshop or painter. It is a strong look. But do you think people will want it? Anton
