I want to fix it soon. Wow, amazing job on the artwork!!! Could you put up that 18-meg TIFF please? There's are a few Tektronix Phaser colour printers in the art department that are just *dying* to be used. ;-) That BSD daemon is just so darned *cute*. :) I find the outline to be a just a *little* too soft around the edges. Sharpening up by 50% in xv 3.1 (I don't know what "50%" is based on, just something that xv wants for an input value) makes it look a little better, but it places a faint "halo" around the daemon's outline, making him look like a cardboard cutout. :( This is an artifact of the sharpening process though. I'd like to see what it looks like if you rendered it that way. Could you "push" him further back into the CD? Say, maybe by about 40 pixels (in the 640x640 version)? Or maybe put some blue sparkles around the yellow "shimmer" where his body meets the CD, so that it's more obvious he is "stepping out". BTW, the glint off his pitchfork is great! Nice job on the reflective floor too. -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org
