===== ...but it's a dry heat. ===== Now all you need is a storyline! I'm betting that soon almost all cartoons will be rendered. ===== Wild! ===== The cracked lakebed is a great texture, although it would look more realistic if it were less shiny. The skull is cute, and the mountain in the background is wonderful. The sand hills look like corduroy. The fog is a bit too thick for the desert, I think. ===== kinda cartoonish, but good. ===== Very original ===== First the bad (or not so good)- The sand dunes (I think that's what they are) need much work. If realism is what you want, you've got a ways to go. But if it's supposed to look kinda surreal and impressionistic, you've got that down perfectly. This pic's going on my "Windows" wallpaper. :) The overall look is great, as is the originality. It doesn't look exactly like a dry lake bed, but it looks great none the less. The whispy clouds on the purple sky and pinkish mountain add to the feel. Plus, you've got the CSG stuff--good man! ===== Love the vultures!!! ===== Like the humour of this one. Desert might bee too green, but then again WhatDoIKnow? ===== Clouds, shadows, birds, humor - great! ===== If you should just pull out the sign,you will see underneath a glistening smidget of water.It may be the end,but it could be the beginning of a new era :) (Hope you get work ) :> I know managers that's like vultures too...
