arkncheeze: Another question... Suppose I take an existing game "XYZ" and there is a male char in there... No female( playable) char there... So in the guideline, it is said can make for an existing game... So I can make an female version of that male char right??? (251 days ago)

The only game I have been playin for last two months is Mafia Wars in FB :D..

Here is a preview of Mafia Wars 3D, a FPS game, which has Mafia's from all over the world (Here is a Japanese Mafia fighting an... hmm.. Italian Mafia Gang??.. in a typical fighting scenario )

Same rules apply.. You lose cash if u carry them with u in a fight (see next to the dead character)..

Thanks to LKY for his sketch which I used as a reference for the head modelling.

Modelled in Maya, rendered in Mental Ray.
