You're welcome... I like the non-photoreal look of Magnet's Emily and the Handspan Studios stuff, because I think photorealism is a chimera that too many 3D artists chase for no good reason. Most of my stuff aims more toward natural media than being photoreal. That said, as soon I looked over these comparisons, I rushed right out and got Anna-Maria from Catherina Harders' site... :-> Interesting notes about the ambient lights, the underlying material color, etc. Does anyone else do what I do, and alter, merge and piece together textures? Most of the ones I use are a combination of three or four different store-bought or freestuff textures, plus there's a lot of my own tone changes, hand-painted details, etc thrown in. I don't think I've ever just used a texture right out of the box... I always change it to suit me first.
