===== From nitro_glis@yahoo.com: I think you're right to depict this, I think its important to imortalize the terror of this event by the eyes of the witnesses. ===== From higginsdj@bigpond.com: Its topical - not tacky - thats one purpose of art - to comment on the now ===== From mookymaha@hotmail.com: Nice concept, a bit simplistic maybe, and not a little creepy. ===== From james@imperiumglobal.com: Artistically, there is not much to this image. I am trying not to mark you down for the topic chosen, for it is indeed the job of the artist to reflect life; but a couple of items placed on a nondescript (table? floor?) don't speak too poignantly to me. Technically, the boxcutter is quite well modelled. I'm sure you agree that there's nothing technically difficult about putting an imagemap on a plane and pressing 'render' though. Not particularly original, and the obvious theme following Sep 11. You seem to be a quite talented modeller and despite the harsh crit here re your composition, I applaud your decision to tackle the topic. ===== From klynn@telefish.net: great detail on the knife. the ticket seems a little too perfect. a fold or wrinkle might have improved it. ===== From philip.chan@home.com: Excellent job creating the box cutter. The ticket looks a little artificial and doesn't really appear to be paper. ===== From kantell@qup.com: This actually made me jump in my chair. It hit a chord. ===== From lrwii@joplin.com: Simple and chilling. Good art! ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Some nice modelling here... like the shaping of the background tiles. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: The excellent modelling on the knife and the soft shadows make this a very realistic rendering. ===== From tm-ray@consistent.org: How did you do the dirt on the box cutter? It looks excellent! ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: It is only tacky because of the tiles. Yuck! Effective image beyond that, though.
