===== From : The cartoonish bugs really hurt. ===== From batronyx@cadronhsa.com: You're radiosity came out very well indeed. The bugs do detract a bit from otherwise photoreal scene. Photosurreal? ;) ===== From marlo.steed@home.com: Nice concept.... bugs seem out of place with the background. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Good interpretation of topic, and a very nice scene overall. The buildings and the tiles look good, and the insects have a nice colorful look. Unfortunately, while both the insects and their surroundings look good, they are of such dissimilar styles that their juxtapostion seems rather jarring to me. Personally, I think you should have gone with making the insects match their surroundings. Still, a very nice picture overall. ===== From mwsny001@mweb.co.za: Hi, I simply love the little spider thingy with the six legs! Lovely image! Very nice concept too. I really can't think of anything to complain about, so I wont. :) I think it gives a very good impession on heat and drought, with a little patch of relief. ===== From tom@tomandlu.co.uk: This has some excellent elements, and the radiosity is nice, but somehow it doesn't work for me. ===== From jrcsurvey@aol.com: Beautiful, like de Chirico. Quite startling mix of tactility and whimsy ===== From youknow@ucan.foad.org: Your barren city's few inhabitants are colorful and stand out well against the background. But the picture seems empty not simply in "no one is here" way but in a "if no one is here, why does everything look so neat" way. I'm not sure I can explain better than that. ===== From albiaprime@aol.com: Artistic: A very nice composition! It is simple but works extremely well! Technical: The lighting is perfect! Concept: Three bugs worshipping the little bit of green grass. Cute! ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: Epistemology: The winds. The bugs. Sand in the breeze. The burning sun. Axiology: . . . be green for me! . . . . . . Ontology: . . .whe-e-e-e--e-w. . . chich chich chich tic tic tic ---*---
