	The spaceship won all kinds of awards back in the day, dinnit? I remember it standing out quite strongly. Rapid C&C! - betcha you could get rid of a few of the outlines of the sand in the alien crash! - I think the mask would benefit from more dramatic lighting that pins the light on its head as the only light source (I.E light wouldn't reach some of the lower places in the mask.) Looks awesome anyhow, PB. Good to see you back :)

	you're absolutely right about touching up that sand. I gotta get some selout happening on the ship as well. And I never left, but have been trolling around more and more lately. Thought it time to bounce back in if not for a little bit anyways Edited by pixelblink - 30 March 2008 at 11:22pm

	Why employ the dark witchcraft known as selout on something with a BG? Why not just AA?

	On the saucer images, I like the sky texture of the old version better. Everything else is better in the new version though. I also like the way FrostPumpkin cleaned up the upper outline of the saucer in his edit. For some additional drama, I think it would be cool if there were some alien-skeletal parts sticking out of the sand near the the broken glass (as if the pilot was thrown out of the craft during the crash) or maybe if his skull would hang out of the hole. On the other hand though, if it's supposed have crashed just moments ago, some fire and smoke could be nice to have.
