sorry about the multiple posts it was meant to be just one ;( I screwed up LOL (I'll edit them into one just hold on :P)

As for the idea, its really not bad it just not unique that kinda was my point.

We could have a long debate on the pros and cons of 3d versus photoshop but I dont think that will get us anywhere near to a positive outcome. I cant compare 3d really well with photoshop thats a personal thing I think, so thats why I had a hard time voting on it. I just went in the middle not bad vote not good vote. Because I dont think its bad at all. But if you had to compose that in photoshop it would be a lot harder I think. That doesnt mean that you didn't do much or that it was easy. Just very different.

Lead into Gold

Eladine says:

I rly have a hard time voting on this since it seems to be a full 3d entry, I like the materials, the wood and gold and lead but they where allready created material textures and the computer calculates the reflections and shadows etc where in photoshop you have to do that yourself. so that costs points.

This isnt rly YOUR invention o.o; alchemist have been trying to turn lead into gold for ages.. they actualy succeeded too.

http://chemistry.about.com/cs/generalchemistry/a/aa050601a.htm

Transmutation of lead into gold isn't just theoretically possible - it has been achieved! There are reports that Glenn Seaborg, 1951 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, succeeded in transmuting a minute quantity of lead (possibly en route from bismuth, in 1980) into gold. There is an earlier report (1972) in which Soviet physicists at a nuclear research facility near Lake Baikal in Siberia accidentally discovered a reaction for turning lead into gold when they found the lead shielding of an experimental reactor had changed to gold.

Desaturating it really took a lot of "oomph" out of the picture. The Gazebo looks very drab and low contrast...

Yay! At least I had the single letters right.
But not even for a second I thought about reading it just as one sentence...
That's probably one of the problems, when English isn't your first language. If it would have been in German, it probably would have yelled at me: "I'm a sentence, I'm a sentence!"

I knew that sign language varied from language to language. But I didn't realize that British Sign language so much different from American sign language! American sign language only uses one hand for letters!! Very interesting!

Ok, that kept me busy for an half hour now...
Either I used the wrong alphabet to translate it, or the message is so good hidden, that I just don't see it.
What I got, read from left to right:

turny
our?o
undsi
nto?i
sdom

Both "?" could be a "w", but I'm not sure about that one.
Am I halfway close or completey wrong? It doesn't make sense
Great idea btw!

avatar Drivenslush

author.. bit of concern.. you should take the surface of one of the lifesavers and place it over the surface of one of the discs you created and blend it into the image to prevent from being pulled on a technicality .. great chop, but I've seen images pulled for less.. great job as always

p.s. - I'm not a big fan of the wall geometry going through each other. It would be nice if it were the inside of a cube, rather than 3 planes that intersect.
