I've used it a few times when I haven't had my Photoshop open (and I've been lazy) and for really small stuff it's fine, but for avatar-size, I tend to notice that some of the quality is reduced.

Or I'm just imagening things? :?

Honestly, I don't have that eye for image quality, so it really doesn't bother me unless it's really bad.

I had an avatar picked out, but I noticed that she has purple hair, and that same pic in black hair is not the same <_<

17-ish lady leaning more Rokugani than gaijin, preferably smiling, if anyone has anything useful?

Thank you!

Purple hair in pictures is not necessarily a reality so much as a convention for representing a culture with almost all the same hair color with a little more variety. In other words, purple is not necessarily purple.

That said?

I'm told these are the equivalent of Chinese bodice ripper covers. Many, many young smiling women in genre appropriate clothing, and an unfortunately large number of repeat images.

A few options from that collection:

1
2 (I think that's more a lilac than a pink?)
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10



Now I kind of want to read these.

If anyone could change the mon on the back for the Imperial one, this would make an excellent avatar for me. Oh, it would probably need resizing, too.
