Hello everyone and cheers for the positive comments. Bad news I'm afraid, I don't think I'm going to be able to continue with this challenge. I've got my hands full with job hunting, making showreel DVD's etc. I've also been asked by a friend to make a logo character for a website he's developing which is likely to take up quite a bit of my free time. If I can find time to make progress I'll post it up but I'm not going to hold my breath that it'll be done for the deadline. Sorry to have to half bail on the contest and good luck to everyone who manages to complete it. Mat
