I agree about the "re-coloring", but it is still a truly kick ass drawing.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06604189594978198173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202849355254208824.post-39242241416523177802012-08-30T23:17:48.703-04:002012-08-30T23:17:48.703-04:00Hey Damian, thanks for that link!
