Work with what you have :) The stalk poser4 models can be worked with. There are many tutorials and freestuff. I recommend you do a search in freestuff, look for SnowSultan he has a nice texture for p4female called vickibuster. There are several there you just have to dig for a while. I love paint shop pro , you dont have to spend that massive amount of money on photoshop if you do there is also a lite version. It is overwhelming to begin with, but youll learn fast, theres plenty of resources here to help out. The webring in the sidebar should be a good start for you. Digital babes has the best realistic free hair that I know of. This can be an expensive hobby and in time you might want to invest in some of the more complex models, but dont be fooled into believing you have to have them right away .
