===== From jon@vulpecula.us: Pretty good. I like how you worked in so many details. The body could use some work though... ===== From helene.dumur@free.fr: Very good picture, however, the body is not very realistic, the other things are all great. ===== From Kzerphii.Toomk@Wanadoo.fr: You're a great artist. Wonderful colours. ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Good job on the modeling & lighting. Textures could be better on the body. ===== From thegreatbambeeno@yahoo.com: hate it!!!! sorry, but it lacks some quality. LIKE HOW GOOD IT IS!!!! sucks sucks sucks. nice and big though ===== From hildurka@simnet.is: Great image, good idea with the small clues. Great work. One detail: this fireplace doesn_t look like it_s ever been used. ===== From somers@w-link.net: The clothing textures could use more work, otherwise, nice job! ===== From pbrasolin@yahoo.it: This is REALLY a good image. I can't find any flaws and it creates a great atmosphere. Putting some nods to mystery novels is a cool idea. I had a similar idea putting some strange things and details in my image but i putted a mystery to solve in it too (my image is pbfaith.jpg: do you see the two lower left sheets? Aren't they mysterious? ;). PB ===== From info@michaelscholz.de: Well thought out concept, nice image. Well done! ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: Very good theme. This image looks pretty good, though shouldn_t a fireplace have some kinds of elements within it, or at least extend back farther? Congratulations on making some variations between the books in the shelves. Most people tend to take the shortcut way out, and that hurts the work. ===== From zio_tom78@hotmail.com: Beautiful creation and nice concept. Unfortunately I do not read many mistery stories, so I didn't caught the references. Only a little note about the left window: glass is quite reflective when looked at from such large angles, while in your image there is no reflection at all. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: Nice scene overall. I like the level of detail achieved, but it seems to me that the outer room lacks a sense of realism when compared to the main room. The curtains and mirror frame look very good (I see your making good use of 3.5s new features). The crack in the mirror doesn't work that well (I can't really tell if it's the mirror or the reflected wall that has the crack without you telling me), but the reason for this is clear given your description of what you had to go through to get the reflection looking good. Perhaps it would have helped if the crack overlapped with some reflected object. One other detail that could perhaps have been added would be text on the spines of the books. ===== From emediez@emediez.com: Nice image, I like it a lot. At some points textures are too clean -without sign of usage, or something like that-, but it is a pretty good image overall. Good concept too. ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: Nice soft lighting gives a claustrophobic feel to the scene. Good = models (such as the mirror), but the human seems a little clay-like. = Excellent attention to detail but a few things seem off: both chairs = have too-thin seats, the far door is too big for its doorway, the books = are too uniform and pastel-colored, and the falcon looks like a ducky. = Fine texturing all over. I like the way you worked elements of other = mysteries into this scene. This is one of my favorite images in this = competition. ===== From file: Those blocks look familiar, did you ever take computer graphics at Bellarmine? Well, it is one of the only images that I have seen that sticks to the concept so nice job. The models are good too. ===== From file: Put in a nice poser model, and I'll be convinced. :) Notable for modelling, composition
