But first: why am I here?

I have been gone for a long time, exploring the beauty of real life AND of the avatar sites that are springing up like weeds. Every teenager and his sister want to make avatar sites with the phpbb open-source software...that's cool. But, hard on the wallet for members.

Enough about my embarrassing personal life. I recently tried to log into arukun's site and typed in

which just leads to a dead end. Someone registered it and did nothing with it. You'd think at least CN would buy it to route to their site, but no. Pshaw.

Sites that lead nowhere are creepy.

I designed it in Feb 2006, but was never satisfied with the sketch. Tonight I went ahead and finished it. Stinkfly has forced perspective, but that's because I was drawing him from the 4" toy and flipped him around...O.o
