I cheated.  There *is* no TV, just a blueish glow :)  But it may be 
worth doing..

I was looking at the image after I posted it, and realised that since 
there were no well defined shadows from the eyes, it wasn't possible to 
tell exactly where they were...  In fact, they're floating in midair 
above the couch.

I was thinking more along the lines of empty pizza boxes and coke bottles 
to fill out the scene myself... <grin>

Thanks for the comments.

Bye for now,
     Jamie.
