    Ken,

    That's simply fantastic! Looks like some kind of alien spiritual adviser. Well done.

    Ken, I don't know how you come up with these creatures but each one gets more and more interesting.

    I remembered this one the moment I saw it...it was stunning before and its stunning now! I think you might be able to get away with a little more sharpening up near the eyes but the rest of this image is perfect. I'm blaming you for any future nightmares! :eek:

    Ken, this looks like an alien Darth Vader and it also looks like something Dave would have done
