It was made for the Seeds of Inspiration contest, hope you can tear it to shreds, because I did... The person who figured out that magazines wouldn't sell unless the cover had human beings, faces, people, movement in them must have been high. BAH to Poser covers, BAH to Poser in general. drac

So, tell me drac...what do you really think of Poser? ;o) My first thought was maybe put something inside the arch of each 'seed' like it's an embryo. Then I thought a metallic bug crawling over them might be good too - sort of an endless journey type thing. Don't know how that last would really fit with the 'seed' thing though.

Great image...would not call it bland. Very good work.

Drac, unfortunately, a lot of people favor poser, particularly if it involves sexy-looking figures. I know it's frustrating, but this is a great piece, you have good instincts. Don't let other people's preference's distract you from creating what you like. I'm saying this not to be cliched, but because I do it to myself all the time - try to create something other people will like. It usually turns out crappy. When I just do something that appeals to me, it turns out much better and occasionally, other people like it too. Lin

Lin speak wise, man. Your image rocks, don't get frustrated for it. Keep on doing what you like, personally I like when you do what you like.

Nice image. Like the reflectivity effects.
