Maybe its just me, but dolphin was my first impression...the bubble canopy on the window might have added to the look.

Thanks for the kudos Keith! Funny you say that...the steeds are a little more aquatic than they were at first. I had made ones that looked more horse-like, but it ended up looking more like...horses with their legs cut off. :)

In the end, I opted for the alien looking steed...inspired by a vague rememberance of a Bravestarr episode.

Techwest is a rich and largely untapped genre...love to see more of it by others!
