Thank you Daniel and Miss B , I can't wait to get into the final details of the whole work as that is the best part of it and reward .
Sometimes I am thinking things not look as good, but when all details applied and rendered the satisfaction is finally there.
I want you to have the best I can do and if you like it, that's my reward.
I guess the best is yet to come.... I hope to finish a lot of products to the end of the year, once the final figures are ready it is gonna move fast.
I stopped doing commission work right now so all my time is for D2FM exclusive to support HW3D on the lunch.

Chris' HW3D human figures have needed more artists with the desire and ability to take up the gauntlet for the next step. Harry & relatives have CWRW (forgive me if I forgot someone). You are like a TEAM of people!

It's so inspiring to come here each day and see you shining like a technicolor sun. Most artists know the faith it takes to bring ANY longterm creation into manifestation, but what you have embarked upon would appear overwhelmingly daunting, yet you just steamroll over and on.

'Scuse me for getting all effusive and fanboy, but "thank you" was insultingly understated to my OTT sensibilities. :notworthy:

BTW question to everyone watching this thread, do you have any specific wishes regarding clothing for the female characters for the future ? I was out for 3 years from our community so did not followed what was done for preview version of Dawn and want to make something new in the future that was not already done.
Something unique, something special , less standard outfits.
Right now the market trends are for messy hair and techwear

any feedback would be more than welcome!
One thing that I have not seen done well is modern Pow Wow clothing for both male and female. And i'd love to see the gorgeous regalia from Ukraine and Russia,

I watched an Murdoch's Mysteries episode a couple weeks ago with a Winged Hussar. The kid who witnessed the murder thought the Winged Hussar was an angel. Needless to say, only Murdoch believed the kid.

I need to watch it ! The sound of the wind in the real feathers in the wings scared the horses of their enemy's. In this case the Ottomans as the Winged Hussars Arrived and saved there besieged Austro-Hungarian allies from the Ottomans invasion preventing them to enter and take slowly over Europe, and good they did other way Europe would looks a little different today.
A lot of people believe that are just game characters, but they are historical figures.

you can see one in museum or at memorial in Doylestown, PA
