A lot of things have been getting in my way of trying to learn and fix things (ie: sponsorship stuff *SIGH* and occasionally revising them.. *more SIGH*). The book has been 6 stages in already and I still haven't found the time to learn how to enter the items into the database. I've already gotten the hang of naming conventions and organization at least so the people who are entering the items for me (DrinkyTengu and Pepper-tea) don't have to do too much work. Although one of the most tedious part of entering items is setting up their layers. Watching Drinky do that for me still confuses me. Makes me feel bad because the Enchanted book has many poses for each stage. It's kinda like there's an evolving item within an evolving item (book to swirls, smaller characters to bigger significant characters, and now the pumpkin)! 2nd most difficult thing to work on for the book was the Celebrity Date.
A lot of you noticed the gender differences with the sisters and how they react to your avatar. There was a lot of really awesome responses, reactions and a couple of threads for that little difference in the poses which made me really happy smile I feel it gives the characters their own personality rather than just being items that can go whatever way. It's like they popped out of the book to see a guy and that makes them happy or they become upset because they see a girl (not because you're the "Prince" or "Cindy" wink . Although, I apologize to those who really want to use the other pose. In no way am I trying to encourage whatever that's bad people may think from it. If this is of any ease to some of you, this is the ONLY pose that does this and both poses will be available in the end. The rest of the stages planned are definitely uni-sex'd. blaugh
On the olympics, I really enjoy the games with the voice overs. Your-Fathers-Belt did a really good job. smile My favorite is the watermelon game (I didn't make that one). "PWWAAAAAHHHH!!!" Finally I get to see another co-worker's game being played now and that's the slash game with the waterfall (she also did the run away from the fangirl). This day did lower my average from 9.58 to a slight 9.5 though. I'm also excited about the new skins being released. From what I've seen, they look really cool. smile
Anyway, really small art dump:

You've done a really good job with the book, and it's a great EI, thanks so much! And thanks again for thinking ahead to letting us get both versions of the sisters at the end.
minor edit:: This thought just occurred to me. Once it's done evolving, could it be possible to include a few poses to equip one step sister without the other? I dig the male pose of the one in red most of all, I think she'd be great on her own 3nodding
