My favorite at the moment for V3 is Shahara by Syyd. FOr stephanie, there is no question for me -- I love Elle (and the V3 version, Galadria) by her as well. I have yet to see a character for Michael that I actually like. David at base is actually good enough for me. I love Farrah for Judy -- she's one of the most versatile figures for the base charactes I've ever seen. In general, I prefer to use Judy and Don, with Stephanie and David. I dislike Victoria and Michael, and in my commercial work I think I've used V3 once, and never used Michael. On the other hand, my commercial work is not "artistic" so much as it is "illustrative", and I rarely use more than the base skins in it. I do use morphs for body type and face, but typically I'm just doing big ol spins to create variety for folks standing in line...

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
