weird, I replied to that message, back then, saying that I couldn't see it :)
No problem now, and really, I'm impressed !  Very natural motion, and nice job
on the clothes !
I'm interested in the source, but if it's too much work, then it's ok :)

Neither have I, but well, google doesn't find everything :)

My main problem with blobman is that it has wrong proportions: the head is way
to big :(  I'm trying to make my blobman fully customizable: you can choose the
size of the head, the proportions of the body, and I would even like to make it
so that you can make other creatures with it, don't know if that'll work though
:)

yes, but I'm a terrible modeller, everything I do is pure SDL :)

Don't know why, I just don't like GUI's with a big G I'm afraid :(
