Hogwarden, I hope you got a good deal on that upgrade. Amazon has a $40 off rebate going on right now.

Very nice variation in the colors and texture. Beautiful maps! I'd buy this one over the DAZ maps. :)

Darnit Scifiguy! Your claim for purple came as I was typing mine. snap Okay, puce! It's mine. :)

snap I wanted green! Fine, I'll settle on purple, since pink is already taken by Mattel. :) On that note, it's bedtime.

I knew I would kick myself on this contest, and I definitely would have guessed it on your hint (sexy robots--too easy). No way I would have been fast enough though--that's one of the downsides of living in the west as we're one of the last timezones awake. laugh Congratz to the winners. :)

Well, I've spent waaaaay too much of this day looking, so I'm going to guess. Is it Alberto Vargas? Now I must get some dinner... :)

Eowyn, these are beautiful effects! :) What a great idea making them into a set of actions. I use actions all the time because they make repetitive PS steps much easier. As Queri pointed out, I would apply the effects to a duplicate image to get more control over the image. Copy > merged is so incredibly handy. :)

Summfox, nice character! Kudos to you! :) She really is a beauty! ChuckEvans, we've always pronounced it "ann eh may" with emphasis on the first syllable. :)

Thanks a bunch Sprinter, for the contest and the fun! It's a nice house, and I'm looking forward to playing with it. :)My apologies to others. I thought you had to answer both questions to win the prize. Anyway, good luck to everyone! :)

This is absolutely gorgeous, and the items included are really nice! There's 50 different items. Very beautiful indeed! My favorites are the wall cupboards! :) And let's see, I'm guessing 25-30 windows? And 15-20 doors? My own house has 10, and we have 4 bedrooms, so I imagine this house probably has double that many bedrooms. Just some wild guesses. Beautiful work! :) --TriTeq

When I first saw this hair, I thought sophisticated, so why not "Sophia"?

And still more entries for today-- * Ouzo, a colorless Greek anise-flavored liquor, frequently done as shots. A play on "uzi" * Metaxa, a famouse Greek brandy. I like the sound of the name, as in they "met axe" * El Diablo, the devil in Spanish. * Amontillado, as in "The Cask of Amontillado" from the Edgar Allen Poe story. And a drink recipe-- T.K.O. 1/3 oz Tequila 1/3 oz Ouzo 1/3 oz Kahlua Pour into shotglass, shoot, enjoy. :) I've not tried this.

And finally -- * Liquate, an anagram of Tequila. Also Liquidate, Liquator, Liquidator. Liquate means to "cause a more fusible substance to separate out of a combination or mixture by applying heat, as it in liquate lead from its ore." * Quilate, another anagram; translates as carat from Spanish. It's not as sexy as Liquate. * Black Wasp I'm done for the day. :)
