Hey you posted it, does that mean I'm not allowed to point out
problems? I'm not like a lot of people on message boards who just
praise everything people upload. I hate it myself when no one gives me
critiques, because random praise is seldom helpful. Also, I never said
"Dude you suck why don't you stop already." I think it's a good start,
but as I said you should try to work on giving them texture. Check out
Jim's own color work for example.
owen
