Needing to break out of some monotonous CSS work, I ventured back to illustration with a scorching hot new model: Pugbutt.

I am rather unimpressed with it, he lacks emotion. Maybe I’m my own worst critic - but this illustration is far from finished. It definately does not have the polish that my previous Yoshi illustrations carried.

PSPHacks.net and 71M, in cooperation with RK Digital.net, Heavy.com and Newgrounds.com have recently announced the release of a PSP Flash Player.
