"I've told you before, my talking equine friend, you've just got to get rid of that inferiority comnplex of yours, just because you're not a unicorn! I'm going to be a saint, after all, and in addition, you help me carry the Oriflamme banner for my king's armies. Isn't that good enough for you?" ... ;o) Nice pose, characters and textures, Darren. I like this render a lot. Onto my desktop, straight away. My apologies for my near-terminal attack of whimsy. Nothing the doctor gives me, seems to do any good, these days. Thanks for your kind comment on my 'Candle Island Lighthouse' Warm regards on a cloud free, but freezing evening, up here in Glasgow, John.
