Ah..... well, some of the dSLR ads leave me very very cold. The worst has 
to be the Sigma ads: the ones with the giant eye and the model's face. 
Eeeeekkk... Even some of the Nikon ones have pictures of models that look 
like they are plastic. I'm not saying that I can pick up digital face shots 
100% of the time, may be no better than 50% guessing :-) but when I am 
right, it's just so "obvious."

Exactly what are you looking for? I know someone who will draw custom Anime 
looking icons based on your pictures (e.g. usually you in a costume). 
Contact me offlist if you like, before we get chased out :-)
