Is it too late to consider trying hooks or something pulling the skin tight or tighter. Not that what you’ve done doesn’t look cool but I get a jersey contractor gone postal kinda vibe with those flat head nails. If the skin were more suspended looking instead of tacked against a wall, I think I would feel less Hannibal Lecter and more Human Canvas. I think chains and some kinda hooks or clamps could look cool, nice contrast between organic skin and cold dark metal, sorta Goth to me. I like the concept a lot, these are just images that came to mind when I saw the work. ---

i was thinking of that but It needs to fit for at the least 1024x768 and 800x600 resolution. using cahins was going to make it harder so i went with the nails. ---

When i first set up my hard drive i made 4 partions. I think there are apps that can do it after the fact but i cna’t remeber the name of it. I’ll tell u as soon is a figure it out. ---

My first hard drive had 2 partitions, which I am glad for because my 2nd partition was a backup of a lot of things and it definitely came in handy. I did it via DOS mode in Win98 (2nd Ed)… if I remember correctly it gives you the option to partition when you reformat… but I could be wrong, it has been a very long time since i’ve done it. ---

you can always use norton ghost to back up a full 40gb hd to like 2 gb then place that somewhere in a partition then you can restore files as you need them. Thats how I do it. And I back up regularly (scheduled) ---

That is it fishtank. I knew it was magic something or other. IT allows u to setup and modify partions wihtout reformating. ---

xp too, but when youve already got 2 partitions, with an os on one, you cant cut off a part of the one with the os… with partition magic you actually can… ---
