I would just reiterate that we would love to include more faces, but we dont have the artistic talent to do it ourselves.

Also, we do try to match the faces to the makeup of the country... if nigeria is wrong, we should fix it.. but we do have the mechanism to make things match up reasonably well, its just our data is wrong at the moment.

The biggest problem with our current face set is that we dont really have any asian type facial features.

Hold on a sausage!

If you don't have the artistic talents to draw new parts, who drew the originals!?

Maybe you guys should make an announcement that you're looking for someone who has the knack to draw them on the News page. I'm sure there's players out there with the time/skills needed but i'd guess they're not avid suggestion thread watchers.

I'd also like to throw in a vote for comedy glasses.

I think there is a solid base of faces already, as i understand it the whole setup is basically a mix and match of eyes, nose, mouth, face shape, and hairstyle yes?

I think the current eyes, nose and mouths are fine as there are hundreds of possible combination out there, they just need to be expanded to include some Asian type features. Other then that i think all that would be needed is some more variety in the hair styles and add some face shapes to include some facial hair similar to many of the African decent face shapes already in the system.

I have no doubt that there are plenty of BuzzerBeater members out there capable of helping with this project who would gladly do it free of charge, I for one would be happy to assist. If you were to release the original art to a small group selected to work on the project a couple of guys could work on adding facial hair to some face shapes, a couple could work on new hairstyles and a couple could work on adding Asian facial features and it would take no time at all to complete....

Hey man,

Can I use Adobe CS2 for such things? I will gladly help out. No charge, no worries. If you guys don't like them , don't use them. I don't have cable and the ukulele can sit for a week...

Skin color too is a problem as I mentioned earlier. Fans can easily do the parts, but having weird National players kinda irritates me lol.
