As for getting a texture & a character together.... Double goodie, I think. A character's look can change with a different skin on it & vice versa. I feel a really well done texture (like those by Blackhearted & Dalinise & Syyd I have tex's from all) is the more valuable of the two. I can create all the characters I want - but I couldn't do a decent texture if my good arm depended on it....G
