If you could combine Vero's figlet (which is very well done btw) with my chest, your sig would look terrific! I'm not very satisfied with the head however. Eddie doesn't look very nasty! If someone could improve the face, especially the right eye, the Cybernaut would be more than happy. =) Tran |\ , |\ /,|\ |\ ,|\ |\ "If there was no slang language, | \/__|_ //_|_\|_\ /||_\| \ there would be no rock 'n' roll" | /\ | / \ | | /-||\ | / -Joe Elliott |/ ` | '-- `' ' ' '' `|/ Tran Vo tuilidi@step.polymtl.ca
