===== From chris@bluelectrode.com: Nice, but to be honest, I would have expected more from 3DS. That's the first ladybug I've seen with eyeballs... The flower petals look ok, but everything else looks fair too blocky and awkward. The butterfly's wings could've been thiner. Overall, nice color and suitable layout. Better luck next time. ===== From clintona@ibm.net: I like the idea! The toadstools are great. ===== From bill@apocalypse.org: The butterfly wings look to thick - colors would have been nice as well. Cute little ladybug though. ===== From YaelParis@operamail.com: It's a cute image but it somewhat artificial. I noticed some problem : grass seems to go trough leaves. ===== From rbyman@rockies.net: Nice mushroom. The butterfly is crying out to be textured. Grass blade a generally flat not cone shaped.... ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: A blocky, cartoonish CSG-like construction could work well, but stylistically not at this scale. ===== From whhale@nvl.army.mil: No real complaints except that it all looks too plastic and fake. ===== From tom@tomandlu.force9.co.uk: A nice idea, but it seems a bit static. ===== From ameede@madmac.com: You are on your way to making a great children's book illustration. It appears to be made out of cut-out pieces of found objects. Finally, your idea of showing the garden through the perspective of a ladybug is excellent but the story could be amplified by showing the viewer what it is the ladybug is doing in this garden. ameede@madmac.com ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: Very nice. But why upset the purity of this creation by some distorted petals ? Look at the pure wings of your butterfly, well the petals would look much nicer if in the same style. The mushroom is fantastic. The grass could do with more variety (more different heights, directions for bending ...) And that strange texture beneath the leave where the ladybird is about to take off. There is certainly spirit there and I like the sky. ===== From albiaprime@aol.com: Technical - Ladybug, mushrooms very nicely done. Grass blades could be a little flatter, less cone shaped, Butterfly wings should be thinner Artistic - well balanced and layed out, very nice except for the items mentioned in technique Theme - Nice representation of a garden from a different point of view ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: Very cartoonish quality - but the texture on the leaf underside and stalk at left make it look like some realism was desired. Some attention to making the same level of detail and realism throughout the scene would help here.
