lol- he hit it right on the head- welcome to your new addiction :) you want to try to make a charatcer of your self- thats a real handfull. if I may- I'd suggest try makeing a little porn- it teaches you how to pose and set up lighting. make 'several' before you try to make a uploadable picture. you think this is funny, when I was learning morse code- the first thing they teach you is how to swear- sticks in the mind easier. also- far to many ppl pose a character then post it- only taking a couple of hours- but the better artist will spend week(s) adjusting every little detail. and the last thing- quality skins and characters DO make a world of difference. you'll see :) good luck :)
