No, Pikachu's stripes (as well as the base of his tail) are brown. I should
know, as I had been researching pictures of Pikachu for the last couple of
days to do my own version of the sculpture that I would've started this
weekend, had I not seen this instead. Seeing someone else tackle the
subject you were about to deal with really knocks the wind out of your
sails. Maybe I should do it anyway and see how it stacks up.
By the way, pretty good job on your first sculptures, Bill.

| (...) I'm sorry to hear that. Don't let me stop you though. I picked a fairly easy posture for him - try making a sculpture of Pikachu in a more difficult pose, or something. (...) Thanks! --Bill. (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.build)
