IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

The solitary moment after the waffles halt their motion. Previously launched
into the air a short ways, they submit to gravity, landing neatly in their
slots again, rolling slightly to rest in frozen terror, just waiting for the
predatory hand to reach towards them, it's aposable thumb coiling menacingly,
four other fingers arching cruely as it makes it's way to our pair of helpless
waffles, watching it's decent in abject horror.... 

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

I modeled everything in rhino, then applied the textures in bryce.... sadly,
this being a school project, that was the best i was left with. 

the waffle texture was taken off an apple pie ironically, from the stock photo
food section on deviantart, from someone named chiren. 

oddly, i thought i'd have the most problems with the waffle, but it turned out
it was the easiest and probably the best looking part in that picture......

the wall socket. ah yes, the wall socket...... *looks about nervously* yes,
well...... i ran out of time just a bit, and that suffered. so there's one of
those safety caps over it, to make sure some idiot doesn't stick a fork in it
or something.
