Hehe! My name fits on a cube, one letter per side, but then you can never see all of it all at the same time. Thanks supremo!

I'm starting to think Paul Jennings is a bit warped.
I like all the details - and the grave is a riot!

boblea In reply to parrotdolphin [2008-04-15 09:08:41 +0000 UTC]

Haha! I'd say quirky rather than warped, and very imaginative!
Thanks. I added the inscription on the gravestone and the liddle broken budgie statue as afterthoughts.

I remember this one! I love the yellows in the picture, from the boy's hair, to the feathers, to the birdseed (and how it naturally contrasts with the blues). Nice!

boblea In reply to Twisted-chan [2008-04-14 13:41:25 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Tc. For a Paul Jennings cover this is quite a limited pallet. And you're right, I used the yellow to compose the picture and link everything

Twisted-chan In reply to boblea [2008-04-15 10:58:44 +0000 UTC]

That's true, usually your Paul Jennings covers are really crazy and wild, *at least* colour-wise.

It's all an illusion! Haha! With 3D sometimes the difficult looking bits are easy and sometimes the easy looking bits are hard. There, that's confused you hasn't it!
