i looked at Avengia's gallery.... I must say, I belive my "plastic hair" looks much better than his/her cartoon hair. from what i can see, avengia needs to concentrate on lighting, materials of the rendered parts, and composition/assembly of images. and in my opinion, if your going to use photograpic backgrounds, you need to strive for photographic (looking) foregrounds.
