HE did not handily dispose of my gun query -- he ignored it. I did not ask why isn't her gun pointed at the guy. Obviously it would not be. I asked why isn't her gaze and the direction in which the gun is pointed in the same ballpark. She's looking at someone or something across the hall or hanger, and her gun is pointed down the hall, perpendicular to where she's looking. If she's not going to use the gun, it should be holstered, or its tip should be elevated upwards to reduce risk of accidental discharge of the weapon. If she's getting ready to burst in somewhere, she should be looking in the same direction that the gun is pointed.
The shoulder straps are for fastening equipment or weaponery, but she doesn't have any of that at the moment, so they are empty. The helmet is bulbous on the right ear because it has a radio transmitter there. The chin part is thick to protect from blows to the jaw and richochet ammo. The face is not exposed but actually protected behind an incredibly transparent visor. However, I don't know why the neck is exposed and not even covered by the padding of the uniform, and the finger thing is indeed silly.
On the midnight ninja -- why is his skin glowing?

She's going to burst through the door that her left hand is resting on, and she's looking at the viewer (and not pointing the gun at him/her) in the moment before they all dash in. Whether she's asking for permission to go, or about to tell the viewer that perhaps drawing his/her own weapon might be a good idea at this juncture, or that his fly is unzipped and would make an unseemly spectacle in a gunbattle/raid, is up to the purveyor of the image to decide.

It's so confusing! On one corner is the Inn of the Two Keys and on the other corner is a dangling firkin! Which establishment will we go to for an ale! I suspect the Dangling Firkin holds more promise.

It would be a better picture if she were looking toward the door in the direction of her gun. :)
I agree -- the firkin looks less upscale and I'm not properly dressed.

Except that my intent was to draw the viewer into the action, and I think her direct 'right at you' look achieves that better than if she were staring at the door.

I've told you before about wearing those hobnail boots - they're just not classy enough for the more respectable establishments in town...

Just glanced through the latest pictures. I feel sorry for the horse in the one, the reins are way too short, the poor beast wouldn't be able to put its head down.
As for his eyes, its the set lighting. :rolleyes: You should know that in the movies the face is always lit, even when the rest of the set is Pitch Black (see film of same name)
As for the latest :eek: Stick thighs!!!! It makes an "0" sized seem over weight!
