I'm sure I could use her as well...very interesting hybrid.

In regards to the p2p issue: I've been a merchant for a little while now (formerly here, now at PoserPros), and while yes, things eventually show up on the p2p networks, it's not something you should angst over if you want to get started as a merchant. Keep your focus on producing quality products, and the honest folk will continue to buy them.

In my experience, the folks who DL from the p2p networks fall into a couple of main types:

1. The previewer - DL's the product, and if they like it, they buy it anyway. (Not a lot of these, but some)

2. The collector- MUST have everything ever made for Poser, so DL's it all...then archives it and never touches it. No real loss here.

3. The casual - Sees the promo images, finds the item, makes a render or two, and moves on to the next shiny object. Wouldn't have purchased anyway, so no loss there either.

In any event, don't let the p2p thing deter you. If you have the drive, have the talent, and produce products people like and want to use, they will sell. You may not get rich, but you can make enough to warrant the work, and have a little extra pocket money.
