It's great to have a new medium and I'm sure everyone will have some fun getting to know the possibilities !

However, I'd be REALLY unhappy to lose the old 'Faces' medium.. and it looks like it's already been partially withdrawn, as I could only find it under 'More'.

The new one hasn't got the same 'tricky but possible' colour range, as only a few of the pieces are soft edged - and from a quick check, I don't think there are any accessible yellows, greens, blues, reds or greys.

I hope no-one likes brown eyes or options on skin colour, 'cause those seem to have gone as well !

My plea is basically that we get to keep 'Faces' as well as the new one, please !

I'm with you there, marg. Just recently, such brilliant drawings have been created in the faces palette, it would be a pity to lose it. Maybe if we keep accessing it through 'More' we'll be allowed to keep it. I'm not much good with it but I'd like to keep it alive, because the best drawings from that palette are very clever.

I'm with marg, the new one is only what you first see. I've been playing with it but it's very hard to do any thing more than find fault. Sorry.

The eye pairs all have two points of light making it very hard to shade for light direction, and they stare straight out at you making it impossible to use them in a profile, the hair is a wreck, and the backgrounds are worthless.

And realistic? Really? I haven't ever seen Avatars that look so wrong and never people itrw...

I don't mean to rain on the parade but it's just not very good. I can see some decent work coming out of it but I think there are way better themes to add. I think it would be nice to incorporate some of the new into the old and add some better backgrounds (not people/faces related).

But give us something totally new to work with.

Btw Rachel, I understand your reluctance to do something real as there was such controversial drawings from the animal theme but look at it now.

Look at five’s work and Luna’s and Waterlily’s, Dragon’s, inked_Gemini’s, Login’s, sheftali52’s, Qsilv’s, oh, and even mine lately, I’ve finally been able to do some decent work in that medium and none of it is gross or objectionable in anyway.

Give us something new and real to work with. Please.
