Hi Cath, I started a thread over at DAZ Forums on how to get the texture to work properly with Daz Studio - check it out @ http://forum.daz3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=114872&highlight=byson Some of the results look pretty promising so far; let me know what you think.

Great stuff, Cath. :) I'm so glad to hear about the bald expansion. Could there be a shaved one, too? Love the lashes!

Just found your avatar sitting in a friends (rgus) file... Thought I'd check out your art, It's been a few months... Thank you for that MJ song on you homepage - I hadn't heard that one. This portrait has a realness about it, great job.
