Excuse me while I go find a wall to bang my head against.

If this body (please ignore the strangely crossed eyes in the photos - apparently they can sculpt dolls that make me want to weep, but cannot yet place doll eyes correctly) were 1/3 scale, rather than 1/4, it would be the PERFECT option to serve as the incredibly-hard-to-find body I need for Jian. But noooooo...it's an MNF body, and all that posing and those muscles and everything will never, ever be a part of my crew because I'm determined to move away from the 1/4 scale dolls.

Jeebus. Look at the posing on this guy, right out of the box.

I may cry. Or go eat a cold dairy product with peanuts in it.

Had a brainwave again this morning (the shower hit again, sigh) with the though that the two related pix of the man and woman in front of the dark wall were shots of Dance's genetic parents, or two chosen out of many. The dossier would show them as having completed a certain specific set of military tests, and the maybe having the dark jacket in common is diagnostic for the fact that they actually took all the steps and completed all the requirements, similar to picking up jewels in a dungeon. I'm also thinking that they had tissue samples on file, and that besides pasing certain sorts of cognitive and combat tests, they share a common set of physical parameters such as detailed blood types, antigens, that kind of thing. I'm also thinking that many of the people chosen as genetic sources are actually related in a familt that has a strong military background, and many of the people whose names show up as selected for this mysterious project have gone MIA, were referenced as died in combat, or simply disappeared from civilian life if their service was from an earlier period.

The barstids.

Now, that idea would take a lot of messing with the picture of the woman to make it less diagnostic for the Calvin Klein ad, or !!we could even reference it obliquely as one of the search results that leads to popping open this information.

I don't have the graphics program now that I used initially for it--very simple one, mostly tweaking things pixel by pixel--but I wanted to see what you think.

Now I think that's a VERY cool idea. I can see some anal retentive WUNPO researcher digging something like that up, and it getting tossed into the file along with all the rest.

I am not an artist. I could not do the tweaking that you did, to change those pictures. WOW.

Happened to read a post re: intriguing patterns in various color palettes (not just plaids) made in a pattern-generating art program.
I'm wondering if this could be useful to either you or dharma_slave?
