===== From cdsi26@bupers.navy.mil: Just your average squid, coming out of your average toilet, in your average bathroom. I understand how frustrating an image can be when you are using a new tool. Throw a deadline on top of that and I think you have found the real horror. ===== From ameede@madmac.com: I think that the textures used are great, and the fact that you clipped the top and bottom parts of the toilet really help compositionally. Finally, the lighting you did apply, works well but the inside of the toilet needs some lighting. Even if it is reflected light off of the squid's body. ameede@madmac.com ===== From patrickd@netins.net: The toilet is too shiny. ===== From jrcsurvey@aol.com: I'd nearly conquered this secret fear. Thanks a lot! ===== From dlauer@optonline.net: ah, more toilet art. ===== From dwallace@lynx.dac.neu.edu: A more complete bathroom (sink, shower, toilet brush, etc.) makes the scene more believable. ===== From tina@ripco.com: A little too sparse of details. The tentacles look more like someone made a joke prop and stuck it in the toilet in their placement and texture. ===== From ericf@foothill.net: This is the kind of scene where less is more. No need to clutter up the image with needless details, and bathrooms don't have a whole lot of clutter by nature anyway. And I think the essence of the 'squid' was caught quite well. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: A good start. The realism is there, but a few subtle details are needed. ===== From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk: Rhubarb in the toiler, not really all that scary. BMRT, someone asked a question about that the other day. As you said in the text file, it's not really finished, start a bit earlier next time. ===== From file: Great texture. Cool idea. Don't mind the lack of texture on the toilet, it doens't matter.
