From tek@evilsuperbrain.com:
The knight model is good, but the scene really needs some background scenery.
Also, that pause effect (or at least that's what I assume those square things
are) should cover the whole scene, not just the smoke. You could do it on a
transparent surface in front of the camera.
But it's a very good concept :)

From rgow@lanset.com:
Cute concept. Not sure what the ground texture is, in your text you refer to
"the ground", but it looks blocky, more like some kind of wall & floor.

From ggargett@attbi.com:
Nice modeling.  You should look in to using media for the 
flames.

This picture was difficult to rate. I like the topic, I like the daring use of
the dragon and the knight, and I like the cartoonish style. Yet, for some
reason, parts of it lack attention to detail. As it was difficult to pinpoint
what was missing I kept my original ratings.

Nice modeling on the characters.  The fire-breath however needs some adjustment
to look more like 'fire'.  Also some improved texturing on the surroundings and
the dragon will also go a long way.

Lovely dragon image.  knight image a little small.. fire should spread out more
naturally...Nice concept

Clever idea!  I'm quite the gamer and this one didn't even occur to me.

From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:

I noted that the beam of fire from the dragon is in fact a shiny(!) cone. When
simulating fire remember that the object is not shiny at all (has no specular
highlights)!

From david.madore@ens.fr:
Very interesting idea.  The dragon's flame, however, looks completely phony, for
"real" dragon flame _and_ for a computer game's representation of dragon flame.
 Also, the weird checkerboard scenery does not go well with raytracing
shadows.

From dick@buckosoft.com:
I like the brown background.  The dragon's left wing looks like it's make of
orange wood.

From clem@dhol.org:
I like the modelling of the knight and dragon.  I also like 
the way the dramatic sky contrasts with the dragon while 
the rock texture complements him.  I do wish that you had 
used a media flame though.

From p_chan@shaw.ca:
The effect of the flames hitting the shield is done well, 
but the flames coming from the dragon's mouth looks too 
"conic" and smooth.  The sky looks quite good.

From batronyx@alliancecable.net:
Very original, storyline notwithstaning.

From slone@hiwaay.net:
Nice characters. I_m not sure why the terrain is blocky, and the clouds
would look better on a horizontal plane (they thin near the horizon that 
way). My initial impression was a video game paused.

I'm curious to know how you added the word PAUSE to the scene.  It would have
been better if you used a more obvious pause superimposed word so that it made
since without reading the txt file.
