I agree - it definitely needs a bit more 'redding'. As for the dripping parts - if you have Eye Candy 4000, it has a drip filter that makes wonderful oozing drips - I always use it if I have to 'drip' anything, cos I can't draw! Only one other suggestion - the eyes are a little off focus - I mean, they're not quite pointing at the camera (very nearly, but not exactly!). You can fix this by either selecting each eye, then going to the object menu and slecting 'point at' and making them look at whichever camera you're using , or (and this works better, really, and was suggested by someone else here when I was asking a question about it) you can use a ball or something from the basic props that come with Poser, bung it into the scene, make the eyes point at it, then move it around until they're looking in the right direction, then turn the prop invisible. One last point - there's something odd about the second pic - did you perhaps use the sharpen filter on it? It's jut a bit 'dotty' here and there. Oh gawd, and I just thought of something else - the first pic is a bit too blurry for my taste - if you had areas covered by the 'red mist' that contrasted with other, clearer ares, it might work a bit better. I'll shut up now, and go back to cooking Sunday lunch (roast beef!). Do let us know when there's a finished version - I'd love to see it!
