Regarding scanners: When you get the money ( I hear you laugh because you are a college student ) go with a scanner that has a resolution of 1,200 x 1,200 pixels or better. That’s what I have and I don’t lose much detail. Any maker will do, just make sure it’s by a big computer company. Mine is old, so I’m sure the resolution and cost is a lot better deal now, than five years ago.

Anyway, now that this is a Mod’s Choice, you might see it up in that hourly thing on Elfwood’s start page. My, The Crystals, has been up there many times. Usually at late hours, but I caught it. 18

:-) Asja Ilonka Keeman replies: "Thanks for that advice I sure buy a new one when I got the money, it will be expansive because I work with a Apple notebook. So I need to have a Apple scanner if I want it to work on my come.

I’m still so happy with this mod’s 1 "

I love the way you made him look a bit arrogant - the way his head is bended a bit backwards and the slightly closed eyes. the contrast in his face are great, they underline his masculinity. great pencil work!!

:-) Asja Ilonka Keeman replies: "Nice, if I remember right your the first one who noticed the arrogant look. Good! finally someone who noticed, thanks for the comment 2"
