Yeah... he's one of the guys (along with Windmill) that I think could do with a total overhaul colour-wise. Contrary to Windmill though, I actually pulled the trigger on the drastic changes (whcih really, were jsut carry-overs from the old Static Line pic, as you correctly observed). I figure out of the 200+ images I've tried to earnestly retain recognisable features from the ARAH toys, I could allow myself a few allowances here and there to totally re-design a minor character or three
.
Point taken though, I might tweak the palette a bit, and add a chest-harness sheath and knife while I'm at it.

Thanks for the catch, fixed it.

No need to feel spurned in that case. ;) His defense will eventually come around like LeBron's did and Carmelo's is starting to. The Olympic participants have all benefited from time around Kobe and the college coaching philosophies, IMO.
Nope, I don't have any real geographical ties to Seattle (although it's the closest major US city to where I currently live), I've always just liked their players, particularly the late 1980s/early-mid 1990s guys like Schrempf, Payton, Kemp, Hersey Hawkins (because yeah, I guess that was the time I was beginning to develop a serious appreciation for the sport). I even watched videos of the old games, and I really liked the play of the championship-era guys: Dennis Johnson, Jack Sikma, Fred Brown. I don't know, I guess the emphasis on tough (you could almost call it smashmouth) defense and uncomplicated to-the-point offense was something that appealed to me, in contrast to the Showtime Lakers or Larry Bird's Celtics and later, to the dominant 1990s Bulls.
I guess you could make the argument that I "cheated" on the Sonics first though, becoming a Grizzlies fan overnight when Vancouver got its own NBA team (the less said about the Grizzlies' tragic run in Vancouver, the better). And speaking of the Grizz, I'm not a fan of OJ Mayo, Rudy Gay, or Zach Randolph, but deep down inside, I'm happy that the Grizzlies are getting the type of success that eluded them for so long in Vancouver (they made a couple of playoff appearances with Hubie Brown and Pau Gasol after they left Van City, but that team, I think, pales in comparison to the current Grizz in terms of youth and talent).
