===== From cdsi26@bupers.navy.mil: Mumff junth hertzs thnkn abt it. Sorry, had to take my hand away from my mouth. I really like the idea. Great work on the tools. ===== From daffyduckx@hotmail.com: A humorously frightening scene. I especially like the "Pain?" bookmark and the Swiss Army Knife. ===== From timk@jtse.com: Great! Simultaneously hillarious and horrifying. Simple and gut-wrenching. Great story. Great implied action. Nice extras. ===== From schimmler@ica.uni-stuttgart.de: This is very cruel! I like it. Only drawback is the wallpaper. ===== From ameede@madmac.com: O.K. this is something I can relate to. I think though that the wrong tooth was pulled, it looks pretty healthy to me. I see that you placed your objects in such a way that helps the viewer read the work. The open knife with the cork screw opened towards the direction of the book, the angle of the word dentist leads me to the image of the tooth on the wall. The way you bracketed your scene with the plyers, salt bottle, and electrical cord all these things went into making your artwork a great piece. ameede@madmac.com ===== From mark_poole2000@yahoo.com: I liked this one, very funny (and makes your teeth hurt). ===== From jake@snafu.de: nice detailed modelling ===== From jrcsurvey@aol.com: Nicely realized objects ===== From dlauer@optonline.net: Funny. Looks very plastic, try using some normals. ===== From brendthess@home.com: OUCH! (Did anyone other than me notice that the corkscrew spiral was backwards from a normal corkscrew?) ===== From tina@ripco.com: This reminds me of a MAD TV sketch. The tooth seems a little big in relation to the other items. The swiss army knife is really well done, I'm impressed. Paper clips and electric plug both are also very good. Also I like the way the book pages lay -- an odd thing to comment on, I know! ===== From ericf@foothill.net: Ah, the horrors of dentistry. Something we can all relate to. All the elements are nicely done, as well. ===== From martial.rameaux@wanadoo.fr: looks at plomber ! it is a good idea the self made-dentiste ! Nice Tooth ! Martial :-) ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Oh, this is awful! I mean, it's good! Er, it's an awfully good image about an awful idea... oh, never mind. :-) A fully-realized scene, down to the smallest detail such as the dirt on the wall and the tiny teeth on the pliers. Outstanding concept, particularly in placing the book upside-down: rather than hitting us in the face, the viewer is completely drawn in to the scene as he tries to read the words and the situation becomes clear. Stunning realism in some areas, like the swiss knife. Less so in other areas, like the paper clip on the book which has no shadow, and no reason to be there. I like the yellow bookmark, but I don't understand the "careful" note. Quite a well done image. ===== From mark.wagner17@gte.net: To get the dimensions of the tooth, did you remove one of your own for measurement? ===== From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk: This is fantastic. I laughed a lot over this and have known some people in the past who would really do this kind of thing. You didn't need to thank the people at Rhin, they've got your money. Improvements: the Swiss army knife could do with some stains or dirt on it as could the pliars, you maybe could have bent one of the paper clips or had a piece of string tied to one of them to make them look as though they were some do it yourself tool that was needed for the job in hand. A very good image and the time that you've put into it shows compared to other images in the competition. ===== From file: Fun idea. Consistent look and feel. Notable for originality, composition, modelling
