Hmmm... i only seem to have the characters standing around looking stupid...
(unlike my DoY templates, they seem quite organized...:smallconfused:)

I just edit my Oliver template. Standard look, pants, shirt, ummm... head...
Or for robed characters I use my Lying template.
For girls I use the template I have for Lily (The Succubus)

I invested a while ago in Template Guy!TM and he hasn't steered me wrong yet. In fact, the first avatar I made with him is still in use, and is about the only avatar I've drawn that someone else is using.
Of course, I've had to get hold of Template Girl!!TM, Template Halfling!TM and Template Slyph!TM, but that's mainly just to complete the set.

This "Template GuyTM" investment intrigues me. May I learn/see where to get this set so I don't have essentially static poses for my characters? (well, not really as I touch them up so they aren't that frozen)

Well, I had to hand-craft the Catgirl EarsTM. I mean, I couldn't outsource those. And the tail's easy to draw, and really should be in a different position in each panel, so can't really be templates.
So Catgirls are made using Template Girl!TM, mainly for OotS characters, or Template Sylph!TM, for Dekopin and others (e.g. banner catgirls).

Unfortunately Templates!, Inc. has yet to release a full pose set, and is currently limited to Standing, 3/4 view.

Re: ABR Discussion Thread XVII: 40% Spam, 55% Banter, 5% Actually Meaningful Discussi
I usually make templates and poses from scratch when I have to include them in my comic. For important characters, I usually have a box with the different poses and views (which speeds up the process, since I don't have to re-shade them when I copy them into my comic). For example, Stephen Mask (this template appears to be ugly compared to my new template of him, which I have yet to include in any comic):

I do not usually copy features from a characters to an other, but I tend to have eyes ready for less important characters.

Yeah, all my characters are this. Posed as required, and you can't go wrong with 3/4 view. Seconding Template Guy!TM as a worthwhile investment, though.

Re: ABR Discussion Thread XVII: 40% Spam, 55% Banter, 5% Actually Meaningful Discussi
Assuming there's any detail to the arms, I make a 3/4 view with one arm by the side and an outstretched arms (If no detail, just the arm by the side). Expression varies but is usually regular eyes and a closed mouth (Typically a smile).
I usually convert an old template, but quite often I'll resize parts or make new pieces of clothing or props from scratch. Eyes are uniform across my templates, barring scale, so I keep a separate SVG file with standard expression components, like frowns, pointed eyebrows, curious/confused eyebrows, closed eyes, all variations of smiling and toothy smiles, etc.

No, you brought it on.
