===== From agage@csee.usf.edu: Textures are beautiful, and the lighting is well done. The detail of the top of the tower is great. The trees, however, could use a little work. They look similar to the ones detailed at http://www.animationartist.com/tutorials/LWTrees/lwtrees.html but could stand to have more branches visible beneath the ball of leaves. ===== From tony@j4tb.com: Cool Sparkles and a great Wizard for not having Poser. One of the better submissions this round. ===== From stephenhasmail@yahoo.com: I like your idea. Image could use more light areas. I don't care for repeated image maps much (castle walls look like Doom). Tower could use more glow. Try the media effects sometime. You could do something great with this image if you had more fog effects. ===== From marlo.steed@home.com: Nice mood. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: This has a nice mood to it. The tower looks great, especially the stone wall look. The colored sparkles add a nice touch. I'm not sure the concept of the scene comes through that well without explanation, though. ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Good theme, not really off-topic: labs where labs even in the caverns age. ===== From albiaprime@aol.com: I like your description! The concept is quite original too. What a shame you have run out of the ingredients though :o)
