My Hawke character wields a 2 handed battle axe- I figure she could handle picking up her future husband, and dog
It wasn't easy to separate the 3. I tried my best, but my Hawke character has a black and white colour scheme with her face which makes it harder to spot, and the pose is complex. It is what it is though
I'm doing something with two characters, one behind the other, and I find turning down the Brightness and Contrast of the front character helps with getting position and proportion with the back character. Then when I need to have the front darker again I mess with the sittings of Brightness and Contrast.
My big dog is like 50# and she squirms.
