I don't like to use other people's work. Not to diminish the other people's
work, but I'm not doing this game for money but to learn everything I can
and I feel like I'm cheating myself if I don't struggle and bleed every bit
of the way. I already feel guilty enough using the Poser models, but I'm not
good enough to make nudes yet so it would have served as a barrier to any
real progress.

Hey, isn't that a porn URL? :-)

Yeah, I feel the same way. The Content Paradise was just a... well, a place
for a drag queen to play. Most of the outfits don't look realistic enough
and those that do are too "period" for my characters (i.e. Chinese armor,
etc.)
