	It shouldn't be on how good it is, it should be on the topic and how much emotion you put into it.

Your so much more talented then me, and so much younger xc I don't play much games, somebody said if that was inspired by Matrix ( lol ) and I said no... Actually I was a little inspired by this. and I always had this idea of this room on my mind :p. WIP: edit: btw, brainstorming about your piece and re-doing it is always good, everybody can do it :p do it and you will have a way better ´feedback!

	Interesting idea, can't wait to see if thats the power source or whats being powered. The circle in the box is a little 'jagged' in the top left and bottom middlish, should be fine if you fix it. (soz that was towards S257)

	Fixed up the lines a bit, added some WIP shading to the part in the the middle. Not sure about the color of the actual box though. Edited by Stronghold257 - 19 September 2012 at 4:06pm

	*Originally posted by philippejugnet* Calling it done, yet to be animated. I know you've called it done and all, but if you happen to revisit the piece out of boredom some time in the future, I believe making the tubes the same blue glowing color would create a better visual effect. Like in your very first WIP, I preferred the white sketched tubes.

	Here's some more progress . Added a computer, some WIP sound lines, and the second to last bit of shading on the sound box.

	I attempted to make an entry this week. I am so bad at this. D: A zombie attack has happened and this person is taking advantage of it by using one of the zombies as a power for their TV. The zombie is trying to reach him, but can't get passed the wheel. I don't know. I am not a big zombie person, but this idea kept popping in my head. XD
