omg you know what skidz i didn't even realize that you had changed it... didn't noticed the patterns at all but after i look i see them, but that's nothing the patch tool can't fix. i use that thing alllll the time. nice job, i'll take the strap out in my large version. i definitely like it much better!
like i said i just liked the figure better for some reason. maybe it's the awkward angle or something. i agree the cracks alone in the way i took it isn't as great but i thought i would show you anyway.
thanks for all the input guys

i like when people suggest changes etc. because it helps me see things that i never noticed before in my pics.
