No hurt here, all critics taken at heart, and even if I disagree, don't worry friends, everyone does have different opinions, and again everyone learns from others :)

Hmm... hair... can you guys be specific as to which character and which hair, and which promo image?  Not really sure, though I do know I didn't do all that great of job on it... I only try to use "every day", natural looking hair, not these funny looking high buns and pig tail "teen wannabee" hairs, just what everyday women look like.  Even put the Glyn hair on Tina Perez through Clothe room in Poser for it to weigh down as she tips her head (changed to dynamic hair).

Lights... I do know it's a bit bright, my LCD monitor went down on my main computer, so I'm using my 18 yr old CRT Gateway monitor, which isn't very bright, should've looked at everything on my laptop before uploading but I was wanting to release Tina quickly as I needed to make some money.  And again, I really don't know why it looks "flat", I used a light set (included in Tina Perez package) that consists of a main, soft, back, and IBL light, all the lights except IBL with shadows at 100% applied (I hate, hate, hate shadowless lights and you can never find them in the real world so I never use them).  Can you point me to a light set you believe is isn't "flat"?  Not really sure what you mean by flat anyways.

Expression, the only extreme expression I used on Tina was the makeup promos, and that was just to show that you can use expressions on her without her looking all ugly or unrealistically "3D" ugly.  The others were simply a small smile.  Can you point me to what you're talking about as in "brat" expression?  And again most of her promos show her not expressing at all so you'll know what she looks like when you load her.

In my opinion, promos that show no expression at all..... just dead look on with not so much as to care what they're looking at... is plainly dead and I see a lot of them.  In fact, 99% of promos don't tell me whether this character can handle V4 expression at all, cause they're not using them.  A lot of characters I bought can't either, they get really ugly or unrecognizable, that's why I show that my characters can, so that people will know if they want to render my character smiling, they can.

I did look at the finished promos, and I was very proud.  When I did all the update promos on Tina (had to change them for the testing team, no nudity cause they said she looked too young), Temptest3d was all excited and she was very happy with them.  What's wrong with them?  Scratching my head here, I worked very hard on them, though some may think they're "half ass" jobs.  Really got me curious, but don't worry, I'm not hurt in any way, like I said, everyone has different opinions.

Thank you all so very much for sharing your thoughts and being helpful.  Like I said, critics are for learning, if there wasn't any honest criticism, there would be no learning.
