I must admit that the first fan letter I ever wrote to a book publisher was sent to Ballistic immediately after I picked up EXPOSÉ. From the moment I flipped opened the cover I was amazed and inspired and felt the need to applaud their outstanding accomplishment. Never before had I seen such an incredible compilation that showcased the best in digital art from around the globe. This was particularly refreshing (and valuable) as it opened our eyes to more of the amazing talent that is emerging from international territories - such as Indonesia, Korea, and China - that we so seldom have the opportunity to glimpse.

I only saw two, but SS made me notice that there are four in this pic. The lower nostrils aren't as clear as the top ones, but they're there. Look closely!
Blisterz Booty and Flint "Explosivez" McGee are the same species I believe. Look at this pic, his veil has four holes for his nostrils. You can see it.
Interesting. Maybe OWI wanted to make it different from MO. Munch had nostrils on his forehead, so maybe they added another set to make it different for Blisterz Booty and Flint "Explosivez" McGee. Just a theory. We do know those guys are making the finishing touches.
Yes, the chrstmas card shows four nostrils, but the lower set seem faded, maybe he has a breathing system in which he breaths through one set and the other closes and then he switches again, that would be interesting to incorporate into CG.

The close-up CG pic clearly shows that they are just spots, like the ones all over his upper lip. That's the only pic that should count, since it's the most close up, and you can see the spots in question.
Hmmm it appears there's a river on left hand side, behind the Slamanders, it has fog.
And near Blizerz booty right foot,is a hay stack or a pile of sticks!
We can see that the Slamanders are water type creature.
I also notice that BB's suspender straps don't go all the way over his shoulders, they stop as soon as they reach the bottom of his shirt, weird, I've never seen suspenders like that.
Oh, an look....the Sali's have cute li'l flipper-tails

Well they're probably not suspenders, rather ... descenders!?! I mean instead of holding his pants up they're pulling his shirt down to limit the amount of belly-flashing.
And good spot on the salamander tails. I thought they were just the knot on their loincloths until you pointed them out.
