Jannie, these are the cutest corpese I've ever seen. I didn't realize it was yours when I saw it in the Orange and Black gallery. I really like the subdued colors and the textures. Very nice indeed.

Super neat. I like that the skeleton and the dog have a ladder up to the surface so they can enjoy Halloween with the other Trick or Treaters. This is really fun, and I like it!

This is really freakin' great! I like how the limited colour makes us focus on your style and design... plus I love it when digital gets some personality by using textures & stuff, this is so cool chicken girl!
