IMAGE DESCRIPTION:  
After over a year of non-participation in the IRTC, I decided to find the time to cobble something together for this topic. Of the many horendous things that could happen, the idea of being speared with nasty, pointy, claw yielding thingies came to mind.  Our little hero has wandered into a region of dreaded spineoids buried in the sand....

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
The entire trace was created the old fashioned way -- I coded it -- With primitives and clipped super-ellipsoids. Spiney pincers were generated using Chris Colefax's Object Bender.
