===== From jon@vulpecula.us: Very interesting picture, well done. More "surreal" than "mystery" however... ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Some good ideas here, but airships could use a lot more detail. ===== From thegreatbambeeno@yahoo.com: the water is good, but the rest is thppbbtptpbpt. ===== From hildurka@simnet.is: I find the concept a little vague, could have been better explained in the text file. Nice scene with a lot of potential. Good work. ===== From somers@w-link.net: Um, where do the pilots sit? ===== From pbrasolin@yahoo.it: Nice image. I like especially the texture on the front of the airships, with those details. PB ===== From info@michaelscholz.de: The dark building's textures are awfull and spoil the image. ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: Some nice looking water, though the sky looks too much as that typical poor Bryce sky. The buildings are interesting but could use some more texture improvements. ===== From zio_tom78@hotmail.com: Good water and sky. The scene lacks some details, expecially on the airships. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: The water looks very nice. The airships are modelled fairly well, but they lack any sign of a compartment for people or sensors, which would enhance the intended idea of a search. ===== From intertek@one.net: Cool idea! Airships are cool. I like the combination of elements too, = water, old buildings, sky, "blimps". I've got two bits of constructive = criticism for you.=20 First, man I wish you though more about the camera. This scene has = unlimited options for places to look from and places to look to! You = could make hundreds of images based on this one! For example imagine = being IN the gondola looking over the shoulder of a rescue worker - he's = looking through binoculars, in the distance you see another airship - = maybe with a spot light - maybe pulling some one up (illustrating their = purpose). Or how about looking our from the wreckage of one of the = buildings while up high above is the airship. I really think you could = get more drama out of this image by including foreground elements and = exploiting the height and size of the balloons. Secondly, these buildings are in GREAT shape! Really, I've lived in = worse places! All of the buildings still have glass in their windows! = There's no holes in the walls, no fire, no wreckage below sticking out = of the water. Who want's to be rescued from there! That's Venice! This = gives me an idea... what if one of these buildings was recognizable? = Famous? Like the Statue of Liberty or the Eiffel Tower (both by the way = were engineered by Eiffel). That would get some curiosity going about = what happened. Richard, I always feel bad giving criticism here because I can't tell = how it's being received and it's hard in writing to express some things. = I do line your work and I hope I haven't been too harsh. You've worked = hard and have a very interesting image. If you do other versions of it = I'd love to see what you come up with! Michael ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: I like this image. I wish it had a little more detail and was rendered = bigger. Some items like street lights, a statue, ruins, etc. would help = to round-out the image. Pretty good concept. Good movement suggested = in the majestic blimps, but the nearby one seems about to run its engine = into a building! ===== From file: HOw dare you make a model of my mother without asking. BUt I think you did a pretty good job considering you were using Bryce. ===== From file: Tenuous connection to the theme.
