A wild-blueberry ride - or dream? Can't stop laughing at the head, the nuts and bolts hanging down look like a big toothy grin with a big orange clown nose! Love your creativity, author.

Your idea is creative indeed, but the copywriting really makes this chop extra special. I especially like the shape of "The Whiplash".

OMG, I love this, author! It looks so authentic, as if it started out in color and has faded over the years - unlike your love for her. I'm a little fa-klempt. Well done!

Author, when I saw your pm just now, it baffled me, as I've been away from the site for a couple of days. Then once I did some research, and voted on some entries, I realized it was my earlier comment on this entry to which you referred. At the time of my observations and comment, I had not voted on it, so had no idea whose it was, but felt that since there were so many blatant errors, I'd mention them in order to give the author a chance to improve the entry.

Unfortunately, now I see that it is you, I'm surprised considering your rank on this site, that you have chosen not to fix the errors (including the reflection of the bottle and removing the glare on the globe), or maybe just don't know how, OR, are simply unable to accept some constructive critique, hence your very defensive comments.

I know how easy it is for you to critique the entries of others, and often, quite rudely, as is evidenced by your last couple of comments to me above, as well as a few of your PMs. Actually, I AM enlightened and realize that that is just your style - and considering the subject of your entry here, that also explains a lot. But hey, good luck to ya.

GONZO SHRINE
avatar pearlie
pearlie says:

Hmm, a couple of issues with this one, author. There's a good reflection from the glass, but not so much with the bottle, there is no front edge, compare the two, they're very different. Also, you've got a shadow from the photo, but none from the dagger, and even though it's further from the wall, I'd think there would be a slight shadow, especially against the photo, don't see any on the white edge at all. The shadow from the framed image is not the same as that of the photo, which is as close to the wall as the frame. You've got a shadow under the gun that was added, but the one under the typewriter is more of a highlight, not a shadow OR a reflection. Also, you allude to the fact that the desk was Thompson's but you say it's your photo - just curious if it's your photo of his desk - ? Otherwise, interesting shrine.

Nice concept, author. Is there a source for the ghost on the ship? and one for the paperclips? Also, an SBS would be great.

Edit: Aaah, yes, now I see from your sbs where you got the paper clip and round shape, funny that I never noticed those before - very resourceful and clever, author. The link to the brushes didn't really show that ghost, so hard to know unless we download them. I do like how you made the 'rope-work' on the ship's sails, nice overall image.

Good job with the tut, author. I kind of agree about the hand, Drivenslush, but in this particular case, the young hand (and its shadow) helps give the illusion that the plane IS a toy.

This is a pretty cool concept, name and execution, author. Quite the mutated starfish, very scifi!

That one center leg on the bottom starfish looks as if it's really burrowing below the water surface - great work! Dust and fire on the others works, too. Planet looks like a NASA image, nice job on that as well.

Actually, mean people suck HARD. This is so clever, and what a way to use those fingers! I like the way the starfish over the yellow eyes make sort of eyelashes. Gumballs - only you can create like this, author.
