Yeah, I understand what you mean. I don't really mean to sound that way, it's just at the time I was fighting with the thing to get it looking okay. I'm sure later on I could make it work better. There's still a lot I've yet to learn about this stuff.
I see what you mean about the pose. I hadn't actually thought to do that, I'll get to it once I have more time to spare again. (Boy that'll be fun with how tiny the mid torso on mine is, haha!)
