===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: Nice modelling but the sky looks very flat. I like the concept :) ===== From henry@unforgettable.com: Like the modelling of the bones, but the texture is a bit too marbly: a little plainer would have looked better, methinks. ===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: The foot (I thought initially it was a hand) could use a little bit more work, it seemed a bit mechanical for some reason. the emotion is there, though. ===== From cherii@att.net: I'd like to see some cracks on those old bones. ===== From darwallace@earthlink.net: All it needs is a good storm to make the mood (rain, higher waves, picthed boat, lightning). ===== From whitey@telefragged.com: nice ascii art, dildo ===== From beighton155@yahoo.com: Unsure of relevance to the topic, a better description with some sort of story would be nice ===== From novotek@web.de: nice modelling and horizon. but: rework textures to gather a better and realistic view. ===== From ruy@hipernet.com.br: Nice concept, but I guess it could be improved a lot if you worked on the details. ===== From dapigg2000@yahoo.com: I'm NOT going to ask what happened to the text file. The sky is FLAT, and the fog doesn't exist. There are plenty of ways to fix it up. Now for the good stuff: The boat is convincing, though not quite real, it adds a good touch. The water is almost good (miserable / lonely) to save the sky but is too blue for the grey sky. Oh well. If it's an artistic idea or not, just doesn't fit. Notable for being notable. (Mediocre score)... Did I mention the idea is good? The reason why I, the scottishpig, like this round the best is because of all these interesting boat submissions. ===== From rclee@oklahoma.net: Very interesting. ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: The strongly symmetrical composition of the scene leads my eyes to a = point just above the horizon, where there is ... nothing. The wood texture came out very good, except at the top sill, where it = shows repeating bands. Heh heh, textfile didn't come out as expected, did it? ===== From bill@apocalypse.org: Ha! Great concept and boat/skeleton, but the sky (which takes more than 1/2 the scene is too simple and hurts the overall image). ===== From jamesrskemp@eml.cc: I like all ascepts of the boat (color, shape, etc.) but think that the skeleton would have been better in another corner, or by the side... Just my opinion though :) ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: The book looks very nice, both in terms of the modelling, and in the weatherred look you have achieved. The foot bones look very nice, but I would have preferred a skeletal hand, as this would give the sense of reaching out and looking for company. Also, is there any reason why there is a thin blue strip (sky?) on the horizon? It seems to me that the clouds should go off into the distance leaving no visible sky. ===== From harlidobib@redshift.com: I really like the bottom half of the image; the flatness of the cloud plane is a little distracting as it fades off at the horizon. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: This has a nice mood to it. The wood texture works well on the plank, but doesn't look so good on the railing. The arm looks good, but why five fingers and no thumb? ===== From clem@dhol.org: Good idea. Executioin good overall. That is a very strange bow for this kind of boat..Way too round and blunt. Moody sky. Water is a bit too dark. I like the way the horizon blends.
