"Mark suddenly realized that the old man at the magic shop had been telling him the truth about that old felt tophat: it was magical!" -------------- If you remember my picture "Strictly Ballroom" ( http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=1209482&Start=19&Artist=rrward&ByArtist=Yes ) you'll remember that I talked about being distracted from the picture I wanted to do of Luke with the ballgown from the YT Formal clothes. Well, this is the picture I was going to do. This is the first, and so far, only item of clothes that I actually bought with the intention of using them for Luke YT. I had to scale Anne (The Girl) down to 80% to look reasonable correct next to Luke. Her waist is already small enough to fit inside the hat, but she's really tall and Luke is really not tall. I also ended up hiding her entire lower body so I could render this in one pass. This image was inspired by the "Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat" gags from the old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons and the "Thank you, God!" scene from the movie Animal House. [edit: Damn my sloppy fingers! It's "Anne 35", not "Anne 43"! It's all those freaky Chubbly pictures. Those little bastards give me the jibblies!]
