I took the photo. There are a few around but rain has damaged most of them. My avatar is the most damaged one.

Oman, Mink pointed this out to me: those images are the Mortimer sprites I designed for Netkeen. Awesome :)

I have no idea how many are up around the place. I'll keep posting photos as I snap them if people want me to?

Sorry for the double-post, but it's over a week since the last post so fair's fair?*

Someone's made a small addition to the ledge one that might well outlast the paste-up already there (especially considering a nearby hose leak is slowly destroying the colour in the image):

I just checked and there are no SGA letters with any enclosed details so stencils are pretty easy.

Also Ceilick, is your new avatar another creature from a Mod you're planning? It's (very) neat!

*Actually, don't answer that.

Same here I think.

Is this also an homage to that terrifying yeti thing from SkiFree?

Using MSPaint in Windows 7, as there are several versions of paint.
Started off just trying to make a snowshoeing guy, as that's what my wife and I did on our honeymoon. I do like how it has a cinematic look to it, although most of the scene is sparse.

Wanting to do one with the Vort Mothership. But I may end up drawing it in 3D then drawing a better 2D one over the top of it, so I get the perspective looking right.
