Yep, doesn't look like he left much of the town in tact. :) Thanks for thinking of me whenever you see a big, scaly monster with toxic breath. :P

The color is tonally too close to the black and white so it doesn't have much impact. I made the same mistake on mine.

HAHAHAH! Heehee! I can't stop giggling!
