Actually a bumpmap would help that robe a great deal and there are several [15 to 20] free ones at RDNA [rundna.com] The posing and the composition on your picture is pretty good. The colors are a little strident for me, but that is a very subjective thing. For textures, I have purchased a couple of texture packages and downloaded some other freeones, but simple fill textures usually look like simple fill. Still better than unbumped color, I suppose. I'm still looking for the truly good seamless texture maker. I hear Seamless Factory is good-- do a search on Google, I don't have my regular bookmarks available -- I haven't tried it, it's shareware. Reflection maps are also useful for texture and again, there are many free packets out there. Try out own free stuff first. I also recommend RDNA for their backdrops, they have two free ones. The Infinity Cove, and a cyclodrop with textures. I'm working on some fractal textures for that. Other than that Richabri's set prop sounds like one of the best deals ever-- rather inexpensive and will take any picture. Lots of people ask for comments in the galleries, its hard to comment when you don't know the level of experience of the artist or what especially they want comments on. Thank you for elaborating here. I hope I was of some help, I'm fairly new myself. Um, if you are working mainly with Posette and other strictly P4 characters, there is so very much free stuff out there, one rarely needs to texture, but a few more texs are always welcome. Emily
