Thanks, everyone, for the nice posts. Nice to see this piece still gets a modicum of attention now that I’ve stopped updating it. :slight_smile: (But if you want to see some new stuff I’m working on, I posted a layout for a new illustration in the Work In Progress section and am getting no feedback at all! So if anyone feels like critting more work, check it out in this thread. Thanks!
Okay, anough with the plugs…

cyb - thanks, you’re piece is looking nice too… but I can’t return the favor and say yours is a land that I’d like to explore. I was never very good at mazes. :slight_smile:

Kory - sorry it didn’t look like you had time to work on your 2D entry but hope the 3D one is coming out okay! (Now that I’m done here, i should really head over into the other forum and look at things!)

anyhow, catch you all later, and thanks again for the kind words!

Hi, everyone! I’m out of town right now, actually visiting my college for a reunion, which is why my comments on others’ threads have been scant in the past day or so. But we had a few minutes downtime, so I logged on to see that this thread has floated back up again, surprise! I also see that there are, as of this writing, four hours left in the Challenge - I suspect that they will be a very interesting four hours. How many people do you think will join the challenge between now and then?

Sean - your post tickled me the most, for the expression “a juggernaut of awesomeness.” That is a great turn of phrase, and I am very flattered and honored to have it bestowed upon my work. Thank you!

I don’t actually have time right now to individually thank everyone who posted all these nice comments but thank you, everyone. Sorry I don’t have time to post congratulations to everyone as they finish, but to all of you who have worked so hard and come so far - congratulations and rest easy! Catch you all soon…

-mike
