Thanks! I was backing out of the command because it appeared to of changed the orientation of the symbol I was placing --clicking through and playing with the command now......really speeds up things once you understand how it's thinking.

Added background, and done...

Thought that I'd provide players with images of their characters. First attempt - took portrait of player, converted to drawing, png, then eliminated background.

Need more instruments (drums, horns, etc...) and a little tweaking, but I think that I'm close to getting there.
