Sorry Lyrra if I got TOO EMPHATIC ---(But, HEY, why do I CAPITALIZE SO MUCH???)(BECAUSE AFTER A FEW GLASSES OF WINE MY FINGERS GET HEAVY!!!)-- But, yes, BIG HEADS do SELL! Look at PEANUTS and a million other comic-toon characters in print and on TV. The vast majority of them have BIG HEADS! I think DKE noticed this and the current Stock Photography trend of REAL PEOPLE with BIG HEADS! Big Heads on little bodies must somehow tap into some sub-concious NEED we have, I suppose. Cartoons are always a DISTORTION of reality. I know a guy who has done the same style of cartoon charactures of people - Big Heads on little bodies, and makes up to $1000 on a good night. Works at a major hotel-has done this for over 20 years- (conventions are the best.) He learned the style from his father, who did the same style for decades at hotels in Florida. You can see lots of other street and hotel artists doing big heads on little body type charactures all over. Call it "kitsch", buy AMAZINGLY it STILL sells well after all these years! BTW- I helped this one guy computerize his business- does it now in photoshop with layers and prints them on velour paper with an inkjet printer. Saves him tons of time and he makes good money with it. He doesn't use Poser, however. He would FLIP-OUT if he saw this new character application!
