ahaha yes, I rememebr seeing that pic now.
Love the Nazi skull in the left of that image.
The hippo is very weird in the context, but oddly enough it works, if only it was on a better perspective. |

Yeah, don't mind the perspective... It's a surrounding filled with rubble... Just think it's placed under an angle by a rock or so ^^...
(Actually it's the backgrounds fault.. .Cause all the objects are in the same perspective, it just seems like the horizon is way to low (it even should lie above my upper image edge )) |

I don't really 'get' this image. Like the look of it, but I can't work out what kind of message you're trying to bring across...
I'm not suggesting that every picture has to have a message - just that yours looks like it does have one and I can't work out what it is... Care to explain?  |

Hmm... The major point of view was that I wanted to create a 'what if' sort of thing. I mixed Science fiction with history... There's a lot bigger context in my head, which I Love to express in more of these style of works...
So I hope you didn't get stuck to much with what I wanted to 'say'...

Lol don't worry I didn't think about it too hard.  Nice image, anyways - the different elements work well together and I like the way it's blended. Good job! |

I got this comment (which I totally disagree) on another forum:
[You have two focals with this sig, I'd loose the animal skull and I think the lighting on the human skull is to bright. I love this concept and I believe this sig could be improved if you replace animal skull with some historical WWII pics ( infantry, tiger tank, or BF109, etc). I believe your theme would have better flow with that change. Great idea.]
Lol.... Like I was going to get rid of the animal skull... It's the power of my design... |

Nah, don't agree with all the suggestions about replacing the animal skull. Your commenter may have a point on the dual focus, tho - it is hard to know where to look... Maybe reduce opacity on one of the skulls and increase on the other?  |
