COMPLETED: 70 GOAL: 649
When I was looking for pictures of Gengar's back, I found quite a few versions that were different. Some had a few spikes, some had more, others looked more like spiky hair rather then individual spikes. I settled on using the spikes in a ridge pattern. My original body was too small to fit all the spikes, so I modified my pattern .The pictures are the original patten, so they won't show the correct number of spikes.
