It's not the darkness, it's the size. Click to enlarge-- they're 4x larger than my screen. Tough on my superslow and ridiculously expensive ISP....

I dunno, that carrot fencer looks pretty wily.
Steve, that Nerva is really cool. The club is so big and so detailed. It looks rather like a stalk of brussel sprouts, but I doubt Herakles...
