Thanks Acadia. Yes, some of these are variations, either in pattern or hue, etc. My thinking there was if you were doing, say a group of cavegirls, they would not all be wearing exactly the same clothing, but it might be similar as far as the kind of material. The problem I have run into - as far as the main package - is room. I am already up to 21 mbs with just the Character, texture, and morphs, and the clothing, with all the FBM and transitions morphs, plus props. This means I will be able to include 4-6 textures (I hope) for the clothing in the main package. If I have a high number of hits on some of the other textures - I will put together a seperate bonus value package to be downloaded seperately. By taking a poll of favorites, I hope to include in the main package the most requested textures. The next favorites I can then include in a bonus pack, as space or demand, calls for.

I had a bit of a time finding animal prints myself. TheMadPainter had a few in her collection and I scrounged up the rest. My brother had a pair of bobcats that were stuffed and mounted that came with the house he bought, and I had a few deer hides and such I tanned as a kid when I use to hunt and fish, so I was able to get some good photos of those to work with. The rest I ended up creating in Corel between hand painting and use of filters, etc. If there is more interest for these kinds of material, perhaps TheMadPainter and I can come up with a set of materials. It will have to wait though, until she is able again to work (still having some medical problems and in and out of the hospital quite a bit) as she is the true texture artist (of our little team) and would have a better idea of how this pack should be put together.

I haven't added in your picks in yet to my running tally, but roughly, from the email replies I have gotten, the picks are running as follows - in no particular order, other than by group:

first pick - 9, 10, 12, 37, (43) (48)
second pick - 8, 11, 13, 14, 16, 21, 27, 28, 29, *30, 31, 32, 35, (43),(48)

As I had hoped certain ones are clearly standing out and will make the main pack. The seconds are varying quite a bit, so if I do a bonus pack I will include as many of these as I have room, going by most number of requests down until I have to stop. :O)
