Boni, thanks for the information! The problem I am having is that I am very picky about things. I have been a comic book fan for a long time so I have a certain vision of how I want to do things and I have not been able to find models that fit my vision. I have seen a lot of DAZ3D models that look really cool but from what I have seen their models are expensive and even they don't quite fit what I am going for.

I have tried to mess with modifying the characters but that didn't really work for me either. If I had lots of time or help I could do it like your model above.. that's amazing. But my story is very long and I think for me drawing it will be quicker than trying to do it all in a modeling program.

But this is all guesswork. I'll see how things play out as I progress.

The wooden mannequin is cool but I feel like it isn't detailed enough.. then the normal figures are very detailed but don't fit the designs I want to do. This is why I wish there was a middle ground like the drawing guides I posted above. Something where you could customize the shapes more and easily put in markings for each model design.

But I am messing with the skeletons and I think they are very cool... that might be the trick for me. I like the outline feature with the skeletons does anyone know if you can change the color of the outlines= or the wire frames in general?

Oh, one other thing... do you know how I might be able to make or get some models like this -

I do like the style of these models a lot and I could fit them into what I am trying to do but I haven't been able to find anything like this in Poser or free somewhere else.
