Hi JonTheCelt
Thanks! Pm me here with your email address and I'll send you a copy. You know, there were two reasons for plain Jane and the plain folk line of figures. The first was to sell them and buy my son's braces and walker. He has cerebral palsey and needs them to walk. The second reason was to provide people with realistic figures they could use in commercial renders and demo reels. A figure on par with Masha and Alicia but at a price those here in the community could afford.
The project fell through though. See, three individuals decided to seize the opportunity to promote themselves. They used the classic thesis, anti-thesis, synthesis to accomplish it.
They offered help, I accepted. The help I got though was public postings of "I don't like this, I don't like that" and "we don't know how well she'll do". In private they sent me their models to fix first before any work was started on the plain folk line of figures. Bare in mind these three individuals knew the reasons I wanted to sell these figures.
I'm down to two options to get the help my son needs. The first is passing Jane out to my friends and hoping they'll use her in commercial renders and demo reels. And take a portion of their profits and make a small donation here. http://www.ucp.org/ The second is to go see my best friend.
