I agree with you and Chris Huff, I just had to have it confirmed.

I think I'll stick to this design then.

company doing what they  do best... Playing w/ 3d software...

I think they are distant cousins... One a city, disco lovin', alien...
The other ( Al ) a sort of urban farmer in to visit his cousin in N.Y....

No no, you've got it all wrong.

Al's clothes are not those of a farmer, they're those of an intergalactic
explorer. :-)

How about an intergalactic, space, agricultural, worker...??
Any how he looks like he wears the cloths of a working man...
Maybe the handy man on an important reconnaissance mission...
Something to that affect...

Nah - he really is not a worker...

It's the boots isn't it?

I've gotta work on that...

hehe, better I guess, but still not right.

AL travels on his own in his small spacecraft, exploring foreign worlds and
having incredible adventures. Or something like that... :-)

"Space Mushrooms?" Wasn't that a plot device in the Heavy Metal movie?

I don't know.  My thought was that mushrooms could be fairly easy to model
compared to machinery, and also being space mushrooms they could have really
interesting textures.
