Love that smiley Olga
Klasnic_E is the first of many clones I've made to take over the world. Expect Klasnic Tournament 2007 in the next 6 months and I'm taking auditions now for Klasnic_F and _G
On a more serious note, Starry I think it's just the way it's textured. I don't think there's an environment map on it (though I could be wrong)
@ Klasnic_E when I do quit, I'll have more time for the forums and possibly writing tuts and stuff (dunno' what I could write that hasn't been covered though). Make sure when you're looking at the tutorial thread you have your preferences set to show threads from the beginning though or you won't see all of them (in your User CP). Also, for me the merc male isn't different enough for people to be interested in him. I've seen many many skins of that model that look exactly the same. The tattoo's a nice touch (without the drop shadow) but overall the skin needs a lot more work to interest all but the recolour fans.
Keep going though as they're coming along nicely. It's more important on the early ones to really take your time and you'll get faster and better with experience
