I have a weird kind of question. I think.

I'm having trouble keeping up consistency when I crop faces for icons. I usually try to notice subtle things when I cut them off-- where it is on the hairline, is there a pattern in their shirt showing or not showing, etc etc. I was wondering if anyone else had a better, more precise method to cropping? Also, I don't like to get a lot of the "background" in my icons. Like in this one, you can see part of another actor's shirt in the background. Just kinda throws it off for me.

Any suggestions, or does it just boil down to being meticulous and attentive? (I have PS CS3, if that makes any difference.)

Is your game slowing down?
Are people seeming to only thread with a few other characters?
Do you have inactive characters and their players can't think of something to do?

The answer is here!

With the positive feedback on my other layouts, I thought I'd get some requests from you guys. Do you need/want to see more user info layouts, character profile layouts, icons, or journal layouts? Is there something in particular you've been looking for and haven't been able to find? A certain color scheme? Something more masculine? Something specific (like a military inspired layout or a specific actor/actress)?

I'm most familiar with S1 Generator and S2 Bloggish layouts for journals, but I'm willing to try anything at least once. So whatever you'd like to see, throw it at me, and I'll see what I can do for you!
