Cool. Thanx for the resource! I'll check that one out.

gotta love Faye Faye, although Ed was my fave

Thank you very much for your time and suggestions. I have been eyeing Z-brush for some time. I may get it when I get my new Mac. The things I have seen come out of Z-Brush make me very envious. Would you happen to know of any place online where I can get workshops or tutorials for character creation? I have been on most of the main sites. Thank you again for your time. I will take more time to dive into this site and the forums to get the help and mentorship that I need. I have tons of ideas, but I now have to find the tools to make them reality.

I picked up quite a few of those books. I have been sketching like crazy! I from not sketching in years to having filled up a half of a sketchbook since this past weekend. I tried to transfer some of that to Poser and ... well, ... it just didn't work very well. I am new to Poser, so I know it'll take some time, but I just wanted to make sure I am at least going in the right direction.

Yeah, I kinda had a hunch that the James and Sydney figures were not the right foundation. I did download the Aiko model, but I haven't loaded it yet. i was considering getting the Miki figure as well. Even after that, I still am not sure how the facial features were created. The eyes, nose and mouth are the big things. I am not sure whether the magnet tool is what most pros use, or just the slider sets that you use in the face tab. Thanks for your response and input.

Great news! Good luck with the remaining submissions.
