I've had these 4 characters sitting around for probably the better part of 6
months, now, actually. I guess they figured their own story out and made me
tell it finally. <G>

It certainly takes time; if nothing else I've learned a lot more about using
Layers in Photoshop than I knew previously. Heh.

Thanks again. Beginning to post something that has been quite personal to me
my whole life (I rarely played with my LEGO's with friends, it was my
'escape' to just think and be creative as a kid), and in the midst of so
many clearly talented people here was unnerving but I think I'm ok now. No
nervous twitches or temptations to buy MegaBloks(ducks) or anything else bad
came from it.. so I guess I'll keep posting. hehe.

Indeed! Humor is something that I hope to learn to work into my creations
and stories.
