The infamous Evil Twins.

The same could easily be said about you and the rest of the FTC crowd . So, no more belly-aching! Instead, more power to you. Love the neck lams, the strip of ebony right down the center line is gorgeous. flaxattack Advanced Member Username: flaxattack Post Number: 334 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Thursday, January 20, 2005 - 12:56 pm:    thanks for the update mica! much appreciated... dgcarbu Intermediate Member Username: dgcarbu Post Number: 184 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Thursday, January 20, 2005 - 6:26 pm:    Hey flaxattack, Maybe your id should have been catattack...but seriously, your bass sounds like it's going to be a beauty.

Please let us know if the rest of it is along the direction you wanted. Also, we all think the wolf should be facing the peghead with the placement on the body that you requested (mirror image to the above). flaxattack Advanced Member Username: flaxattack Post Number: 353 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Monday, January 31, 2005 - 7:16 pm:    mica- i -went to grahams post first- and i was getting sad.... and then i see this,,,, its perfect!!!!!!!! ok i think i get it.... you want to put the snout facing the peghead? make him a righty wolf? its hard for me to envision it after staring at him so long,,,, hmmmm i am a lefty...lol i can understand the logic though hes looking over the bass instead of behind it>? well here are my thoughts how could i go against the big 3??? ok - i just printed it and held it up backwards and yes it works for me 2 excellent work' now give him nice, evil,leering, bloodthirsty, i am looking at dinner eyes.... boy why am i thinking vampires? too bad we cant stick little 1/8th notes in his corneas that might be neet flaxattack Advanced Member Username: flaxattack Post Number: 354 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Monday, January 31, 2005 - 8:18 pm:    wow what a day! first the wolf and my broker just called me and my offer was accepted for my first house!! davehouck Senior Member Username: davehouck Post Number: 1294 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, January 31, 2005 - 9:02 pm:    Congrats!

Kinda makes him more unique. graeme pace Intermediate Member Username: pace Post Number: 123 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Tuesday, February 01, 2005 - 2:46 pm:    Im in southeast CT, Jeff...

Maybe it's just me, and I'm not really into wolves, or the whole historiical context here. But for starters, I would flip the tongue around the Y-axis, and start it coming out of the mouth just a little bit lower. Or maybe just move it down a little, I don't know. It just doesn't look quite right to me. Not complaining, it's a nice piece of work - just think maybe it could be a little better. But again, I don't know what it's supposed to look like. adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 479 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2005 - 7:06 am:    A bit less tongue-in-cheek, you mean?
