haha.. great idea author! Best of luck

nice idea -- the liquid coming over the spout looks a bit off but a nice job otherwise

Cool idea, what alan says, good luck

Creative idea. The liquid hand looks fairly good. Some brighter-white highlights (like at the left edge of the tea in the cup) might make it appear more convincing. The teapot doesn't seem tilted enough for tea to be able to escape. The perspective is also off; I would expect to see as much of the top of the teapot as I see of the top of the cups.

@dan: I agree with you, however, for the sake of argument, the teapot could be rotated along the x axis into the z plane, which would allow for the perspective to be correct and the tea would be able to flow from the pot

Looks realistic Nicely done

Agree about the highlights, and since the hand is liquid it should be more translucent, but good idea.

I agree with CMYK about the transparency of tea hand; and for a green tea, the liquid that enter in the other cup is a bit dark, like black tea... But it's really a creative idea!

The z-plane argument is technically correct and indeed explains the apparent lack of arc in the exiting tea (it's flowing away from the viewer). Maybe changing the title to "More sideways tea, sir?" would alert the viewer that a non-traditional interpretation is required. And I just realized that the teapot isn't casting any shadow (which might provide some insight into its orientation)!

A really creative effort. GL

Great idea, you did wonderful work with this. Good Luck to you!!

nice job
