IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

  This is like the two ends of some artists creations.  Some (not all) will
start with a sketch of some form and create a master piece from it.  So I
descided to play that aspect in this image.  The left side being the "free
hand" and the left being the finished product.  It may be streatching the
meaning of the topic.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

  Well this is my second attempt at a submissiom (July-Aug 04).  Basicly this
image was made by 3d-rotating many boxes, then 3d-streatching them, then
rotating and streatching again, all in random directions, and random placement
in a given area.  This I think created an interesting mountain range for the
back ground.  The stands were boxes with a difference with spheres for the pit
then unioned with two, and copied.  Nothing realy complex.
  I then used a Gimp totorial (http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Photo_To_Sketch/)
to create the drawen part, then with a gradian merge made the near final image.
I was left with just a little size/quality editing.
