So ugly, so absolutely beautiful- I love it! The animated dancing Balthazar adds a lot as well. And jeez- "Concrete Donkey"?!? That's almost the best part! (2 URLs) Hi, I'm AndroDan!>> Tony Hafner (URL) www.hafhead.com> (...) (20 years ago, 26-Jan-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

The color scheme works really well with the general smoothness accented by funky bits of texturing. The (...) (20 years ago, 27-Jan-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
