trikuare

A mascot character for my old site

My old portfolio/personal site, trikuare studios, was named after a corruption of the Basque word for "hedgehog" (I thought it meant "porcupine"). The site as a whole had a mascot, a porcupine-hedgehog thing.

Here are some of the various site images in their native habitats:

We are sorry, but the requested file could not be found. In most likelihood, the porcupine ate it; if so, she will be disciplined accordingly. Or maybe what you're looking for can be found by looking here, there, or everywhere. In the meantime, you may want to contact the owner of the page the link was on. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

access forbidden
We are sorry, but for some reason you cannot see the file you requested; either the owner of the file is not allowing you to see it, or the porcupine is being mean and isn't letting your browser in. Because of this, you may want to email the owner of the file you're looking for. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Dead site

I displayed this image with some explanatory text when I discontinued the site in 2005. I drew it in a newer style (with a few visual homages to the old images' style) as a symbol of one of the reasons I decided to discontinue the site to begin with — it was time to move on.
