All depends on what you want to achieve, methinks.<BR/><BR/>I do wish I could get more male models to pose for me, I've been taking photo refs for a Melakim picture and I just can't seem to channel the proper man-ness XDAngela R.

Granted, these are things I think we inherently already know, but it just makes a difference hearing that we are doing some things right from the lips of a professional. It also has the effect of making us take our faults more seriously, I think.<BR/><BR/>I'm totally looking forward to seeing more human work from you, especially from the awesome refs you showed me. I've always felt like combining humans with animals makes for some of the most potent emotional work of yours (such as the Angel of Outcasts).<BR/><BR/>You know you've got a free model for refs here if you ever need one:)Angela R.
