Bryce! We'll make a pact to post more often. I've been saying I will for the
past two years but school seems to catch me and I forget.

Gah I'm so inconsistent at even doing that :P

That's sweet. I've always loved the idea of different builders not only building
with different styles, but in different "forms". I think it sounds cool.
This weaving business is pretty awesome, the flowing lines through the legs give
it a cool feel. I think the 1 x 1 clips you've added make it look more sinister,
(I'm guessing they're to look like hairs?) but break up the flow a little a bit.
What if you used black minifig hands or something? (assuming that those are
intended to be hair)
The big sack on the back looks thoroughly disgusting and as chris said, the
fangs are cool.
Awesome stuff.
BTW I remember you mentioning once you listened to Audioslave. Have you got Out
of Exile yet? (not much of a chance seeing as it came out this morning) I like
the sound but the lyrics aren't nearly as epic or immersive as last time. Tom's
solo's are still the coolest thing on the block though.
See ya
