I realise the forms here lack a very essential field that plays a crucial role in whether the manip turned out would be perfect and fitting for the character. It is none other than the "Personality" field! I mean there's not even a part where you can fill in the theme of the image, eg. scary, lonely, hopeful etc. Of course, having the personality is better than having a theme which can be pretty vague at times. So yeah, the step to better quality manips is to further understand your client's character personality instead of just focusing on the appearance. Famous dA manipulators, like acornah and many others, use other objects and creatures to symbolise things that relates to the personality.
Don't shoot me! >< I'm not trying to criticise this site you can't deny how useful it is to know the personality of the character, right? [[: It's just that I'm having a problem doing manips here without knowing a little background info on the character. <3 And the more specific, the better, especially the deformities and quirks. =D

ahh, I see what you mean! I'm not sure I have the authority to change the forms but if you'd bring this to either Zodiac or Zombie's attention I'm sure they can.

I see your point here. Personality would be a very good way to help personalizers such as myself to make the image "fit" the character it is intended for. As Maat said, I would bring it to Zodiac's attention.

Maat linked me to this thread before but because I've been overly busy I have not replied to it till now. I'd be more then happy to add a section like that to the order form. I've been meaning to revamp them anyways. Thanks Carrot!
