Ok I finally got to a shop today, and I think I have narrowed it down. Insights welcome. Anyhow, it turns outs most mountain bike frames are made in Taiwan these days, with only a few continental brands left. Then adding in the fact aluminum has more chatter than steel, while the Taiwan steel bikes don't use as good a…
I made a Morrigan a while back for the Comicon contest a couple years ago. ^_^ I'm not sure if it will help you in any way, but here it is: http://www.comiconchallenge.com/2009/images/wallPapers/Morrigan_1024_768.jpg You have a solid understanding of anatomical details (such as how muscles should look), but not really…

There's a bell in the church tower now, and all the doors, signs and other props can move, break or explode...

The Piou Piou game actually plays a lot differently, it's one of those games where the camera is constantly moving and you have to avoid the cactus to avoid the camera catching up to you :) I agree it looks similar but that image would have you belive it was a 1:1 copy which…
