I just wanna join in the "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" cry...  characters I created 4 years ago (usually using Posette) and which I thought were so good looking back then, i see them now and can find nothing as ugly as them!!

Beauty is definately a touchy subject...  what's ugly to some is pretty to others, and few are willing to be objective and neutral... specially if it's your own creation... nowadays I prefer having people put adjectives on my work (for good or bad) rather than imposing my own impression on it...
