What's holding the face plate on? ood question, as the item doesn't have anything to hold it on! I guess the hair is supposed to cover the band that holds it on the head, which doesn't actually exist. :-) I'll either get some thicker hair on her or make some kind if headband. Thanks for pointing it out to me, I almost forgot it was a problem. She definitely needs something for the midriff. I'll play around with the included item and some magnets to get the right fit. If that doesn't work, some kind of leather "under-armour" might help. I agree with "realistic fantasy pics". There can be some elements that are impossible in our world, to highlight that it is fantasy, but it needs to be done on a foundation where not everything is fantastical. As to D&D as the foundation for a character, while much material is derived from our history, much is imagination. If you are making a historical figure, you may be concerned with historical accuracy. However, with Fantasy, history is just a starting point for the imagination. In the new 3rd Edition of Dungeons and Dragons, a warrior's protection can come from light armour combined with high dexterity and skilled movements, or heavy armour sacrificing some mobility. Even the question of how muscular a warrior should be doesn't have a single answer. Bonus fighting ability can focus on strength based skills OR those of quickness and finesse. Of course, nothing is black and white, a character could combine both, to a large degree, but in a stats based "world", being exceptionally strong AND quick might mean sacrificing smarts or willpower. No matter what my characters look like, they usually are pretty smart on top of it all. Also, they are often much deadlier then they look. ;-) Anyone with suggestions on shoulder pads and upper arm guards? How about the textures? I think I'll try fuller hair for the next WIP posted here. I like her hair as is, but I haven't tried anything else yet, so I might be surprised. Besides, I might solve part of the "waht is holding this thing on" problem...
