btw known characters need to exist first as new/unknown one to begin with.. i is all up to the author to DEVELOPP their character, bring them to life, and such.. i am trying to write a very classical/stereotypical shojo story illustrated with poser, and i already begun to desin the characters (some of them) give them background, personnality, and the like... some of the basics are found in my gallery with Erin and Sayuki. I intend to make them a bit more living, but unless you are very talented (cause i am not), you ned more than one pic or a serie of pic to bring a character to life anyway i saw the tenten maid serie somewhjere on the gallery that carried more than individual pics... sometimes, it really does not need much to transform a simple render into a real character that can appeal people. of course it is better to tailor your art to the audience.
