Or, on a slightly more original note, taking a picture of a Slith, adding a few extra arms and a third leg (such that at least, say, 70% of the pixels were hand-drawn by you), and sending in a Mutated Slith - same question. Oh, and I'm not actually going to do either of those. There are already enough Slith variants. EDIT : Whoa! I'm a Journeyman!

By the way, a graphic made just by editing colours will annoy people. There's already a way to add tints to items and monsters within BoA, and more significant colour edits can be done by virtually any painting program. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

From that, I am led to believe it is edited graphic. Thank you. -------------------- ~Note : The professional newbie's advice should not be taken seriously, or at all.~ LINKAGE Posts: 364 | Registered: Saturday, January 17 2004 08:00

So the Fire Slith might not be eligible at all, depending on just how much editing was done with the colours. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!
