  That sounds like one of the pages from the "Cutting Floor" folio.
And just so you know, I've seen every comic and print/portfolio I've
ever produced illegally scanned and posted online. But I did find a
way to beat them at their own game...

  Actually, it just means I spend more time on mainstream artwork,
and less time on anthro stuff. The mainstream isn't as enjoyable (by
a long shot!), but it doesn't get pirated, and I don't have to worry
about people trading it online, since the vast majority of my
customers in that genre are adults over the age of 35, whereas most
of the folks swapping files online are between the ages of 5 and 8.
Oh, I'm sorry. I meant teenage years to mid-twenties. I was
thinking pf "mental age" for a second there. ;)

  It was from the "Skunkworks: Cutting Floor" folio, and Second Ed
(www.second-ed.com) should have them. Thanks!
