Thanks again!
@Elk: I can't view the pic (due to maturity filters, and I have no DA account). Care to upload it someplace else?
@pistachio: I can totally see what you mean about the legs and the face. At first I thought the feet were the only major issue, but the legs are definitely blocky too.
@piffany (and pistachio): Here's how I imagined opening the ribcage (and thus the angle):
I'd really want to keep it that way, because it seems a
relatively realistic thing to do if you want to pull out your heart. Breaking
through ribs to get it out without surgical tools is impractical, pulling it out by sticking a hand down in your abdomen and going up isn't very dramatic, and just pulling it out of nowhere seems too clich?.
Anyways, I'll go back to the outline and see what I can fix when I find the time.
