[goom]

what program did you use?

I can't remember, it was a free one online, though...you'd literally put dots for the morph or something like that.

Am I amazing or what? Nearly had a heart attack when I found this:

I was iffy but O.K. on that Jake, but that girl looks more like Cassie than Rachel.

[Stephquiem]

Er... how does she look like Cassie exactly?

Er... how does she look like Cassie exactly?

That would be my point.

[Stephquiem]

...Huh? O.o You said she looks more like Cassie than like Rachel? HOW?

1) She's blonde.
2) She's caucasian.

Neither of which Cassie is...

Saying she looks more like Cassie than Rachel means that the differences between that model and Rachel are greater than the differences between her and Cassie, since she looks absolutely nothing like Cassie, it therefore means she looks absolutely nothing like Rachel either.  It's a bit of an exaggeration, but that's the point I'm trying to make.

[Stephquiem]

...Okay. O.o I guess..

Ugh. I'm sorry but I'm not a fan of either of the models. Maybe my expectations of how I imagine them to be are too high though... Jake looks more how I'd imagine David to have looked and Rachel is a little soft looking. Her features are just a little rounded, which isn't a bad thing, just not how I'd imagine Rachel. I guess I could see these models looking like they could be cousins though...

I think its awesome that the books are being rereleased, but I cannot figure out why there is so much time between the books. Its not like they haven't been written already.

yeah, if cassie was white with blonde hair, that would be her.
i can't imagine that girl being rachel :/

A lot of it has to do with the fact that they are also relaunching these to get new fans. And Animorphs, as we all know, has lot of continuity. So the last thing Scholastic wants to do is to loose an entirely new generation of fans by releasing these books too quickly. They're going to want to make sure that there is enough hype about these new books-- that there are kids reading them; kids who will be wanting to come back as return customers/fans for future re-releases. It's really all about trying to make a nice big chunk of $$$ out of a property that they know will sell.

(BTW, I'm not intending to put this in completely a negative, big evil corporation kinda-way. There is genuine fan support over at Scholastic from people that are relaunching this series. And as a fan, it's just amazing to get a chance to relive the entire series all over again. But at the same time, it's also a business for Scholastic. So I'm just being realistic.)

     For some reason, I always pictured K.A as someone with a british accent, even though I KNOW she's American. I don't know. I saw a picture of her a few years back and thought, she's british. Whatever. I didn't think she'd sound like THAT though.

i really hope they change something besides just the covers.
is it confirmed whether or not it'll just be a copy paste?
