Mongoose here;
Sorry to be out of order for this beutifully democrtic process,
but I doubt I'll geta chance to update my t-shirt page for at least 36
hours. I did upload a raw gif of my finalized t-shirt art (I'd
previously posted a sketch and a work in progress on my "ballot".)

Check out http://www.concentric.net/~evamarie/WEBCOG4.GIF

The image will seem to load a little funny- that's my primative
attempt to counteract gif-poaching without butchering the image quality.
(Not that I think y'all would do that kind of shit- I'm working on
learning such tricks for later use, you're just guinney pigs).

PS- AFAIK, Animated gifs don't open properly (at least, look VERY
diffrent) in most paint programs, and don't re-size normally. Fun
stuff, to sell "clients" non-editable (well, edit resistant) digital
art!
Actually, if done right, it also reduces the actual load time and
image size by cutting out blank parts of the background, and loading /
posting only "live" parts of the image. Cool, huh? I did it wrong (and
mostly by hand- ouch), but the delay is minimal, and it was a fun
experiment. DVixen had something simlar, but very diferent, on the Card
game page. Anybody with any info on similar concepts (and GIF format /
file editors in general)? Private mail, of course!
