Bravo to all of you for sharing your formidible talents! Those of you who are on the recieving end of those talents, please be sure to apply liberal amounts of praise and credit where credit is due. It's only fair. I'm only sorry that it took me so long to check out this group. Makes me wonder what all I've missed. I can't get to the Web for the moment or I'd be checking some of those sites as well. I saw mention of a Sonic the Hedgehog piece go by. If someone has such a thing and would kindly repost it, I promise you, later this summer, I will return the favor by doing some art of my own to share. I am a professional science fiction and fantasy artist with 20 years in the business behind me. I specialize in animals and animal mixes. I'm sure I can drum up some goodies for you. Give me time though. I'm getting a new computer later in the summer which will allow me to do this *much* easier than I can now. Keep up the good work!! As I said, I'm *very* impressed. M.Skirvin
