===== From elvish_archer@mailcity.com: the ground need a lot of works ===== From darwallace@earthlink.net: Your lack of bottom-dwelling life (coral, seaweed) is noted. Otherwise pretty good. ===== From pbourke@swin.edu.au: Good attempt at telling a story but the final scene isn't clear. ===== From panthus@xtra.co.nz: A heightfield at the back would have brought the foreground into more focus. Great bubble effect from the masks and gun. ===== From dvnss@mega.ist.utl.pt: You're too pessimist!! It's great... ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: Nice atmospheric affects. The divers look good. My only suggestion would be that the bottom needed a bit more topography. ===== From douge@nls.net: Nice modelling work on the divers. ===== From tony@j4tb.com: Well your story line is sort of morbid but your image looks good. I have trouble sticking with an image to the end myself. Your people look good. The skull looks awsome. I would add a little more reflection to the goblet. As far as the spears I don't even see them. A few light rays showing through the surface would add a nice touch. ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: Nice image. But was the cup rammed through his skull? Would think the skull should be shattered, and it should have a more weathered look... ===== From whhale@nvl.army.mil: You had a very good start going. ===== From bbowen@cswnet.com: Excellent character modelling. Mostly blobs eh? Very nice. ===== From alun.thomas@convergys.com: I think you're much too harsh on your own image! It reminds me a little of the underwater action scenes in some of the James Bond films. I wouldn't worry about the harpoons and guns - they look fine at the distance they're at. Although you're right, it could use a few more things on the sea bed (plants, wreckage, etc.). ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: The divers are pretty well modeled and placed, their different 'pauses' are pretty good they show movement. The sea floor looks a bit empty alright and the skull way too clean. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Definitely some nice work here. I really like the skull/cup combination. The divers look pretty good. I would have liked to see the background developed more (rocks, plants, etc.)... I think it would have helped the scene a lot. ===== From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk: Good for a first entry. The textures need some work and the image needs to tell the story not your text file. ===== From went@netcourrier.com: The cup is inside the skull ? ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: Well, of course you lost interest. How can you possibly express the entire theme when you make an image the way you started? Symbolically, the direction people are looking and a person's expressions and gestures are used to express emotions. At the point of this image, only one person is looking at the cup and no one else seems concerned, even if it is gold. Why is everyone going to die? The light you see may hit you, but some of us are smart enough to either not go walking in train tunnels or get out of the way. Mayham (mayhem?) for fools only is, obviously .
