Oh - I didn't realise that her characters were mainly MR based - certain elements, certainly, but surely not all? I'm a novice at texturing - back in the pleistocene era I uploaded 3 freebies for V3, but they were done over weeks and weeks.
However, I don't think we should knock her. She's a lovely person, gains enjoyment from her hobby (and makes a few bob on the side - wouldn't we all love to do that?) and lots of people like her interpretations of the MR's

Amen to that Sheila. Merchant resources are tools in the same way as other artists models are tools we use to create our own art.
I own a number of syltermermaid's characters and I'm very happy with them. If I like a someone's model and I have spare cash then I buy it.
We all have the option of modifying the model to suit our needs and when we do we are, in effect, using their model as a personal merchant resource.
I have no problem with a merchant selling many characters. I know I won't buy many of them but it gives me a great choice.
Cheers
