I'm only in the Dalamud server, beyond that the Rue and Tre mod servers. Everything else is community-based or run by friends.

I get that. I had the same feeling about Freyja after DT hit (she's a Face 2 also), but then I saw her with glasses on and she finally felt "right" with the updated face.

I haven't tried any face scaling in C+ before, but I've seen some good results. Maybe some experimenting could work for you.

Face 2 seems to be the most divisive one since the graphical update. I've had a few friends and acquaintances change from it since DT hit.

Personally, I think it accentuates Phoebe's femme fatale personality more clearly than Face 1.

I agree, they take a lot of time to set up and stage. You really have to go for a dynamic shot to really make them pop.

What's one style you want to experiment with, but haven't?

Sounds like you've been catching some of what's been hitting my area since last week.

I may start sharing "remasters" of old Gposes on here. Pics I did way back in the day that I've recently touched up in PS with some pretty basic things like brightness/contrast/saturation adjustments and so on.

My goal is to improve on post cleanup edits for future pics.

That moment when you look back at your earliest Gposes and wonder if you were at your peak when you were just vanilla...

Yeah, a lot of people took a back seat after DT hit, sadly.

The Pummeler set is still one of the best WAR artifacts.

One way you could approach it is having each love interest be part of an AU until you're confident in a canon choice. That's the great thing about Phoebe being your OC, you can have your cake and eat it too :)

It'll give me something to do during my dry spells for sure. I could even do one for all three of my gals.
