Solly, I thought you might like the stick joke ..:D As to making her walk bowlegged...that's just sadistic! :P

They may well have based her on a real person, but look at her original ingame screenshots. I think the thing that struck me was the blotch on her forehead and also if you look closely, there is a weird white line on her nose. That looks to me as if they had pasted her face in over another one and didn't take a lot of time with it. I notice little details about faces I guess.

This is her original unaltered texture..all around the hairline looks sloppy, her forehead and upper cheek area don't match her lower cheeks...it just looks unfinished to me. The caterpiller eyebrows are just a personal pet peeve of mine, many real people have biushy eyebrows. They could have made her with bushy eyebrows, and still have taken more care with this texture than they evidently did. I am not a graphic artist...but I have studied art, my mother was an artist and I do know a thing or two. To be perfectly honest, the original texture looked sloppily done and that is what made me want to do something with it. NOT that my results are any good, but I did sit there and blend lines on her nose and cheeks so she doesn't have a line of demarcation from having a texture being pasted on top of another.

But to be fair, the only way to really see into a character's face like that is by having a mod in place to change the viewing angle. When I first played LoA without mods, I never noticed her face because you can never see into a face like that so closely. Really, you only get a vague impression of what a character looks like from what you can see with restrictive camera angles, plus a small portrait. I had never known before that Naidi was apparently about 65 years old originally....judging by all the wrinkles on her face. I mean, I am no spring chicken, but I don't have any wrinkles at all, except a couple of small lines under my eyes that I think people have normally anyway.

Thanks for the link, Firebat, I downloaded the free face to experiment with. I think you already know the only nudity that bothers me is little kids, I don't care one bit if adults are nude.
