kinda cool in a cartoonish sorta way

From marlo.steed@uleth.ca:

Nice concept.
=====
From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com:
An interesting concept, but as you said fire requires more attention. It would
be better (although slow and difficult) to make it out of media. Also the hole
in the ground looks much too geometric, some randomness would make it so much
nicer.

From jouni@mikrobitti.fi:
Fine, it's a ruin allright. The use of symbolics is a dangerous art,
where one might go far astray with a simple mistake. The plunging
curve is a good one, but it doesn't work all alone. Using it as an
background effect for a more action-packed image describing the
Black Friday would've probably made this a lot better one.

From chris_darcy@yahoo.com:
Good. Keep at it.

From StephenF@whoever.com:
I like the twistiness of the line on the chart, and the 
texturing on the objects lying around.  A different 
background would be a big help, and the cuts in the 
"ground" could use some irregularity.  Overall, though, I 
think it shows a lot of imagination.

From c.bunker@plymouth.ac.uk:
Wonderful idea ! A great first try .
=====
From clem@dhol.org:
Simplistic and minimalist, but it gets the idea across.  Very 
clever.  Effective use of simple off the shelf objects and 
textures.  The choice of a symbolic image was a good 
idea.

From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au:
An interesitng idea. Being a beginner, your skills should improve steadily
and hopefully you'll continue applying them to good ideas. This shows some
good compositional elements - you just need modelling and texturing practice.

From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk:
This is a good effort.  The floor could do with a more interesting texture, and

a colour map would look good on the curve on the graph, maybe going from yellow
at the top to bright read where it goes into the ground.  
I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.

A decent subission for a first. I too am new to this stuff I still haven't the
nerve to submit anything.
Notable for originality
