I
don't like cookies, actually. I like fireballs. And t-shirts. And comfortable shoes. And 0.5mm lead in my mechanical pencil. And Kurt Vonnegut. And fuzz. And reverb. And I've had a strange obsession with Nova Scotia since I was a child. But, I don't really like cookies. Or chocolate.
So, there you go! Now you can write a biography on me!

I know! Kirby and stars go together. I tried to make some stars, but couldn't get them to look very good at all. I figured Tanya would have an extra star or tow laying around.
Again, I do hope all of this is doable and not too labor intensive. I tried to make it so the images just had to be shrunk to size, cut and be glued to an enclosure with a squirt of Elmer's (or whatever fancy adhesives Scientists and/or Tanya's use). She could make things bigger than they are in the picture. But, I know little to nothing about the process, so I could be terribly mistaken about everything.
Also, have twelve made.
And give them all to me.
Also, a Reverberator.
Also, you get none.

Really cool looking finish, Compy, nicely done! Tanya figures this is pretty doable... did you provide layers for the shading too? Matching the colours exactly might be tough as she has lots of colours of vinyl but not every colour, but otherwise it should work well with her style. We still have to load it all up on the work computer and make sure but it looks really good!

Well you could get cloooose, right?
It's mostly monochrome, so shading won't be tooo difficult, me thinks?
And by all means she can Dr Scientist it up some

I made different layers for everything that I could think of. Every object is a different layer and every color of the objects has their own layer. Including the shading on the ground, if that's what you mean.
If anything else needs to be changed or fixed, let me know. I am electric samurai.

We'd have to use colours like these, we don't have anything close to the drab green of the original.
And it looks simple but it's actually quite complicated... all the separate layers of shading and little squares, they'll be a real bitch to work with and some of the very small squares won't stay attached and will be impossible to do so small.
You did it just right though, Compy, perfect!

That's what I was afraid of. I think Eric wanted them to be bigger, anyway.
And only my mother calls me Compy. And I only let her do that on Mother's Day!
It's DR. Compy to you, Dr. Scientist.

Those colors work fine!

Also, if you need me to make anything bigger or less Tiny Square-Times 9000, I will do it. Or anything to make it work better. Free of charge!

Thanks again for the cool layout, I'm excited to see it in vinyl!
