Holy crap. How did get those rays to shoot thru the branches so seamlessly? And the waterfall is so detailed. The whole thing is fantastic. I wish I could make something that good. Well done.

Cool

wow I cant even believe this is real and here I am able to view this incredible artwork without even paying! this is hands down the best work of art I've ever seen in my life. You're definitely the next Salvador Dali in my book.

ok heres the deal

By consumerator on Friday, 14 December 2007 1:48 AM

if you don't win I'm gonna have to tie myself to some train tracks (because that would mean that the judges weren't qualified to judge based on the grounds that this is singlehandedly the most incredible, life changing, beautiful piece of artwork I've ever had the privilege of viewing).

yes im jesus

By jesuschrist01119 on Friday, 14 December 2007 1:52 AM

it is prophesied that if this piece does not win this contest, I will begin the 2nd coming of me. yeah I'll rapture you're sorry ass.

Some of these comments are ridiculous, is your mom out here cheering for you or something?

I'm not gonna lie it's pretty cool though. You can have my vote too.

things are happening

By saturn on Sunday, 16 December 2007 10:35 PM

I love the detail on the rocks... The cracks and roots and grass... Did you use the tree to make the roots? I like how you matched the houses with the color of the guitar too.
