Oh, and just to say, I don't mean that looking unrealistic to my eyes is some sort of sin or inherent problem.  There's lots of quality characters out there that look great in other people's works, and just don't work for me.  I'm just trying to say that I think I understand the issue that cedarwolf brought up, and that I've experienced it myself to some extent.   I'm hoping that sharing the small steps I've taken to address it are helpful. 

Oh, also to clarify- I mentioned not redistributing for any newbies that come across this thread and get the wrong idea.  I don't mean to imply that anyone posting so far wouldn't know that or would redistribute someone else's edited textures. Unless they were a merchant resource, that is.

Latexluv- I'm working on a reply.
