Yea blackrobe.. most large crabs have 8 legs, 2 claws... i was just saying that its not the same for all crabs user added image. Anyways, the one hes modelling, should probably have 8 legs, as the majority to.. k, cya. about the picture, i cant find a piture of that large large one, but i can visualise it user added image.. eek.

hey M- yep you are correct! I did a pencil sketch- scanned it into PS- darkened it using the levels tool- copied it into the alpha channel- inverted it- made a selection out of it- made a new layer and filled the selection- and painted on a blank layer beneath it.


*whew*..... now onto modeling! user added image

H!
