Character Artist: how do you/would you use it?

CA3, when we eventually release it will include additional up-to-date artwork in keeping with the new aesthetics of CC3.
Character Artist has two main purposes: images for character sheets and card stand up figures or counters. Which is more useful to you?

However, character sheet images are also very useful.
What I really would like is also a head-only mode for only designing the head. In most cases, it is more important to show a characters face, rather than whole body, so I would really enjoy a facial template, and lots of elements to add to the face (like jewelry, piercings, tattoos, scars, etc)

Having a wider range of outfits, for many genres of stories, futuristic, middle ages and modern, is important. Many more different hand held items for many different eras would be good. Different body types, not just human/humanoid is good to. Basic body shapes like 4-legs, 2-legs, octopus-like bodies. Different eye, mouth, nose, ear shapes.
All with vari-color.
My players and I are talking about getting my AD&D first edition campaign back running, and so characters on stands is also good.
I realize I went far afield with my reply, but I wanted to say why I wanted character portraits and character counters.
More outfits and items to cover other time periods and genres is a must in the next version or even something that could be covered in an annual if including or an add on if they couldn't be in CA3 for cost and/or size reasons.
Most of the games I've played in the past and expect to play in the future have been in the modern genre setting. 1920s, 1930s, 1980s, & ealy 19990s tend to be the modern points.
Full drawn backs for use in stand up minitures is another must in a new version.
Some extensive tutorials on making new character clothing and items would be good to have as online videos or in PDF form when a new version came out.
