The quest continues apace.
Screaming can be heard.
Pain comes mostly in the form of massive sleep deprivation (but you all knew that).

Such cute little round heads! Like Charlie Brown.
Xiao Xiao is near and dear to my heart.
If any students want a good NPR (non-photorealistic rendering) project, they know what to work on... :g:
