Re: [Super-tux-devel] Bad Monkey < Submission

[S.Groundwater <sl...@gl...>]

Marek, thanks for the constructive comments, and for the offer to submit
upwards artwork that meets the team standards.

I recognize that maintaining quality and a consistent look is important. 
This is a fair request to make of anyone submitting work for ST.

I'll take a step back and see if I can't come up with some visual moves
that are more in line with the excellent work Grumble has laid down so
far.

Go Tux, Go!
No seriously, there's a big nolok badguy thingy coming your way...
