Howdy Mad dog, Wendy, and Alii Tiki thanks for the replies.

Alii Tiki: It could be barely seen when lit up, if I do this again I will have to carefully carve the inner wall a bit thinner to let out the candle light. Yes, blood sacrifice is part of the ritual, but it was a bit more this year than I bargained for. That paring knife slipped and the blade went under my thumbnail...it still hurts.

Mike: That looks like an awesome idea, I can't wait to see how you eventually make it work out next year.

Wendy: no worries, I will continue to create but a large majority of my output will be going towards a online comic strip which I have been putting things together and preparing for almost 2 years now. I am not exactly a great writer so its taken me a while to find a groove I am comfortably with for the writing and for the art as well. It seems like pretty much every art project I do, I have to look up a ton of research to be comfortable enough in creating it, sometimes that makes me feel a little like a hack in that I think I should be able to create solely out of my head, but I can't. I know most artists do use reference, but I always have a voice in my head that says its cheating. To be honest, I am not sure where this voice comes from but it is difficult to fight it sometimes. I think pretty much all artists are neurotic or messed up in the head. :wink:

Anyways, I will post links to my non-tiki stuff but I won't put actual pictures in the posts since TC should be about the Poly-pop stuff, and I will get back to creating some Poly pop soon as well. :)
