Yes, yet another Hexadecimal KiSS doll from me!  It seems that every time I reach a new plateau in KiSS-making skills, I commemmorate it by returning to Hexadecimal, the viral Queen of Chaos from the TV show "ReBoot." My first KiSS doll, the one on which I learned how to (and, equally important, how *not* to) was "Hex KiSS," started in 2000 and released in 2001.  In 2002, when I had a much better focus and a lot more experience with drawing in pixels, I did "White Queen Hex."  This is my third, and it is a nice, shaded, detailed, scattered, smothered, and covered doll.

This doll is dedicated to Gavin Blair, AKA Joxer the God of Chicks Who Kick Ass, without whom Hexadecimal would have been no more to me than a numerical system, and whose copious stash of reference material enabled me to draw the Xena outfit.

FKiSS info:
The options icon at the top contains menus for the various options, including...
 * Snapto, which you can turn on and off.
 * Music, if you want it.
 * A "Format" icon that toggles Hex between Virus and Sprite formats.
Click on faces and masks to cycle through various expressions.
Click the wigs to cycle through the various hairstyles.
A few items of clothing have color cycles, and maybe even a special effect or two, heh heh.

There is what-one-might-assume-to-be-a-bug that allows you to get the Sprite wig on Virus Hex if you swap between certain sets.  Well, technically it is a bug, but I liked the effect enough that I left it in.  If you want to take the wig off Virus Hex, simply click the Format icon twice.

Virus Hex changes from red to black when you put her Nullzilla crown and corset on. If you'd rather she be red while wearing those items, again just click the "format" icon twice.

Music info:
"All of Me" is by Louis Armstrong.
"July" is by Kyle Ward, and was featured in the game "In The Groove."  Alas, this MIDI may not sound so good on machines with older sound cards.
"Don't Be Cruel" is by Elvis Presley and Otis Blackwell.
"Beethoven Virus" is by BanYa, and was featured in the game "Pump It Up."  It is based on Beethoven's Piano Sonata Opus 13 in C minor, also known as the "Pathtique."
