Fun Fact: There are over 1000 layers in this image falls over.

I stopped counting at 50 hours spent on this. I was only about 2/3rds done at the time. I know I pretty well shattered all of my records in pretty much every category: most time spent, most characters in a manip, most number of species, most stocks used, etc.

I’d like to thank the following people for volunteering their characters. They’re all in there somewhere (though some ended up small in the background, or obscured somewhat by other characters).
