I like your idea, the philosophy behind it and where you're planning to go with it. I have a vague memory of the game you're referring to. While i was checking out your images i had the idea of rendering a view of the calculator in someone's grasp with a blurred background photo of some everyday scene, like part of a kitchen or something, or maybe a bank of techie panels with lots of blinking lights and digital readouts, etc., to emphasize the technology part. Or, hey, check this out, you could have God holding the calculator, as though our technological progress is just a game that God is playing and that he's eventually going to lose, with us bearing the brunt of the repercussions. Whatever you decide to do, i'm looking forward to seeing it progress (or at least where it will progress to). Your pixel materials look pretty and make me feel calm... simple... contained... clear... logical.
I had this game on my mobile phone........

And in my final hours - I would cling rather to the tattooed hand of kindness - than the unblemished hand of hate...
@bigbadelf: Some good ideas, man, but unfortunately rather unrealistic. I just don't have the kind of skill to do such scenes. And the God one.... not sure I agree with that. Doesn't fit in with what I know of God. And besides, I just finished a rather complicated (for me) and difficult piece, so I was trying for a more simplistic one that I could finish more quickly. Any other ideas? Anyone?
@brodiss: Interesting thought.... I might just do that. What do you mean by dots? The darker squares depicted above are the "snake" if that's what you mean. @bigbadelf: shrugs I just didn't know exactly what you believed. YMMV? @wildman2: Err.... nooooo. Snake. shrugs again I like snakes better. We used to have some as pets. They're really cool. Especially as pranks...... evil grin

My latest art piece. Essentially, the idea behind it is that the snake represents modern technology... or perhaps better: technology over the years. It was inspired by a calculator game, and the big metal slab is gonna end up being a screen (with a lot more pixels, too, but I didn't want to slow down the comp just to make up a conceptual image) The "snake" runs around eating the "dots" which give you points (eventually, part of the screen will show the score), but also make the snake longer. Eventually, you do something really stupid like try to get another dot and run into yourself, in which case, the game is over. I'm portraying technology as being exactly that. It keeps trying to improve and extend itself, but it's bound to crash at some point. Likely when it's reaching for some new improvement. What I'm looking at now is backgrounds, but since I've got about 12 test images, I won't post them all. I'll just post the two that I like best. This one's supposed to simulate the fuzz produced by a TV when it decides it's bored of doing what it's supposed to do. I guess that could by symbolic of the fact that whether technology destroys itself or not, half the time it just drives you nuts anyway! :)
