Must have been a small image to start I guess. The "jaggies" or
pixelization is pretty rampant. I don't mind smaller images, they can look
better than the larger sometimes. Anyway, great drum modeling Mike.
The use of colored lights is well done too, although what probably would
have done this much better is spotlights trained upon various regions so
as not to fill the entire image.
Keep it up and I may look into getting a mad scientist to do a brain
transfer between us.
