I meant posts like my own post previous to this one. Everything I post 
here has been received *very* positively, but I wonder sometimes if I'm 
not painting myself as some purist curmudgeon substituting philosophy 
for chops. This one I think shows that I can have a little fun as well, 
and it's definitely "chopped".

Yeah, but the itch isn't *quite* scratched. I made this according to the 
Povcomp rules, so it's all one pass. I want to make something where I 
can cheat a little bit. Render in sections and paste the whole thing 
back together. Too big, as well. Looks good HUGE, but I want to make 
something that looks perfect at 1024x768. Every inch filled with details.

An almost perfect description of that look. I'm sure you've seen it many 
times in NYC. I would add 'reverent' somewhere in the description, this 
all having religious significance.

Not forever. This will go into the pho shop. I might render it at work 
on the next three day weekend. Then there's affording the print and 
frame. It's on the list. You know how it goes.
