Starcandy, love the concept! Is there any way to conceal the sharp edges where the grass meets the woods?

Thanks, sViz!
As far as the edges go, it may just be a matter of changing the lighting. I've added extra lighting in to the scene now, but haven't got a render done of how it looks by the time I'd finished tweaking things (I added facial and body hair to the Werewolves earlier today and for some reason my render times slowed to a crawl despite render settings being turned down). I'll probably do a render tomorrow and if need be, I'll look at blurring those edges to see if that helps, though I'm also looking at playing with depth of field, so it may not be necessary.

OutLander smx. Would anyone like to test it? Also have an analog clock in the works.

Another day, another update.The Werewolves are still sans facial and body hair because it's still slowing renders down. Trying to get help with a solution for that at the moment. Not sure how much longer before upload time, as I have some alternative styles for the environment I'm using, and I might use them to broaden the wallpaper options for the user. They're probably going to involve some tweaking of lights and stuff though.
Tweaks here include additional lighting, chains being made the same colour and looking more metallic and the inner lining of the cloak being made red so the title makes sense (the outer lining is already red, but you can't see much of it).
sViz, do the edges you mentioned look better this time? I'd appreciate your feedback

Definitely much better! Good call on the cape. I was tempted to ask whether she was going to have a name change.

The characters seem a bit "bright" compared to the environment. Maybe mute the lighting on them a tad?

Thanks Shaunna! I just put up a compact version of the DX theme. On request.

After much faffing around and learning more stuff I finally managed to get the Werewolves looking hairier. Also removed the fastener for the cloak and toned down RRH's skin a little. I may leave the cloak fastener off or replace it with some small chain. I'm going to start playing around with the other environment styles now.
