I gotta say I'm with Matt on this one. I've found that the nude models, the ones used to posing naked, are the ones with the most "class." They tend to put more emotion into their pictures, and it turns out absolutely gorgeous, as compared to these "popular" models/actresses like Megan Fox or Hilary Duff. Just because they're in porn, or because some of their pictures are nudes, doesn't make them a slut, nor does it mean they're all about sex. I've got examples that I'd love to show, all from DeviantArt, but I'm pretty sure I'd get in trouble for posting them. So my suggestion is to go sign up for a free membership on the site, and look at some of the nude models up there. None of them look even remotely like sluts. Disclaimer: personal opinion... I don't think that pictures of women who happen to work in the sex industry have to be "slutty" There probably are quite many who are classy (I'm not an expert in that field). I however think that the pictures of the model that Prom posted were indeed conveying that kind of image. I know many vampires are sexual, but it doesn't prevent me from thinking that, for instance, Roseybear's model conveys an image that's not necessarily fitting the personality of the vampire. I know we players quite often have our vampires go at the vampires who force them on others. Is "no" a credible answer from a vampiress with a model and attitude such as Roseybear's ? Honestly, that's a tad shady... Nothing excuses imposing oneself on someone, but some things explain it. One can find a model that's sexy in her attitude and not slutty. Here, to illustrate my point, I'd like to compare the models in Seyda's banner and Roseybear's. Seyda's is grabbing her breast, and very sexed in nature, yet has that look that says "beware". Roseybear's is in the process of pulling her panties down. The end. Attitudes are sexy, but I happen to find that the kind of facial expression that the model displays has an influence on the way the vampire is perceived. Anyway, it has on my perception of the vampire...

I found this scrumptious little thing whilst looking at clothing, and I think she's goooorgeous. Her clothing style is rather steampunky on a lot of pics, though, so I doubt she'd be used for a conventional character. Also, she has a gallery HereIf it wasn't for the fact the crazy scientist thing is already being done by Matt I'd say somebody should rock Dr Steel's look

because I'm looking at them all side by side to see what I prefer these days. That particular model is probably the ONLY actual photograph I've ever used. Just taking some stuff for a test drive *nod* ~M

About the whole slut thing. I use Joanna Krupa for Emmett. (Save a few pictures, back when Emmett was experimenting briefly with hair colors.) Most of her pictures are her in a bikini or underwear. But the thing I like about her is that she's so playful in her expressions, and very girlie, which suits Emmett perfectly. I do tend towards the photos of her that are a little bit less revealing, though, like the one in my current banner. But then, I have another character who is very pure and it's been much harder finding photographs that work for her. It was interesting, actually, as I've never had trouble finding pictures for Emmett. I saw a picture of Joanna Krupa in a magazine ad and I've been happy with her since. And to that sense, a note on finding models. I've had very little luck in locating models online, but luckily, I'm kind of a fashion magazine addict. Try skimming through Vogue and often a model will pop. Especially the girls in the high fashion adds. Perfect vampires, almost always. (Edited for the use of the word 'like'. Bad habit. >.<)

Same with me lookin' for Tyra pics. Heh. Try looking for a guy with long blond hair. Try looking for any guy with long hair. But I've seen those professional pics of you... those are hot.

There are loads of guys with long hair on mm and alt model sites. Just gotta know where to look. Also, just a tip (For gals): a lot of alt fashion sites give the names of the models in the pics 'cause they're all in a more niche market so it's hard to make it big. If you're really stuck for models go to that kind of place (corsetry shops are notorious for this)

I recognise you from somewhere... That's gonna annoy me... My boyfriend's on mm, and his dad's on as a photographer. That's how I found out about it Not all the models I know of/find are on mm, but it's the first place I look. The search tool makes it super easy. ETA: An example of what I was talking about earlier: an alt fashion site that note the models in the picture like here. Some of them have links on. If they don't, try google the name... Dayna's on there! I was shocked when I saw it

You know... every time I look at you and now that I've seen even more pics, I swear you're going to be who I think of when I read "and falling, fly" when it comes out next March. You just look like the main character in my friend's book... of which I've already read the first chapter.
