I think that the hard work has been done, i.e. creating blobman from
scratch. I'm quite sure that making blobmen look better it's not that hard:
you just need to resize this component, translate a bit that one and so on.
It would be GREAT if we could have a series of good-looking blobmen and a
library of predefined poses (just like in Poser).
