I'll have to remember your name if I ever get around to playing with my very non-ID Bria character

I am good at:
Complete overhauls. If someone comes to me and says "Just change everything, do whatever you want" the result is always fantastic. Provided they don't say "you have free reign" and then refuse everything I offer. THAT drives me insane, LOL.

It could be worse…they could just wait for it to timeout.
I had a client last night who wanted a change to his chin. He said he wanted it half its size, and I'm thinking "Uh…you have almost no chin as it is, and you want less?" Offer change…timeout. Try another offer…timeout. Another…refused. Another…refused. Finally convinced him that what he needed was a larger chin, not a smaller one. Half a dozen offers later (after I started ignoring his number suggestions) we finally arrived at something he liked. He came in with 46, thought he left with 80, but really left with 100. (Now really, if there's any argument against clients seeing our side of things, this is it—he loved the chin, declared me a miracle worker…but really didn't know jack about getting it how he wanted it.)

I've recently had four clients that said "do what you think looks good" and accepted all my changes! One was a wookie who had his headsize at 0, and maxed cheeks, brow, and chin. I fixed that up, gave him a new pattern colour and he was on his merry way (after a 20k tip).
Since I dropped ID, I lost a lot of clients... but most of them are finding me again! 
It's handy being in a large and well-known PA, hehe.

How? Him being able to preview the chin as you slid the bar up and down wouldn't have made any difference.. he still wouldn't have known what number it was at and would've still left with his desired result.Plus it would've saved your whole timely ordeal.

Odim, we have another thread for that topic, she was merely making a statement. So, to gently rerail the topic, what are YOU good at?

I'm sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear enough for you. What are you good at pertaining to being an image designer?
I don't feel the need to contribute to a thread accentuates the already high ego-centric delusions of grandeur around here, but since you've asked so nicely.
Everything, and nothing at all.

Odim was right, I wasn't clear in my previous post. What I meant to imply was that I'm good at getting my customers looking how they want, despite their requests for specific slider numbers that won't produce that look.
