Thank you Simen, I really enjoyed reading that reply :) I think that is one
of the first times someone has said something that nice about one of my
images :)
Out of all of my images created with POV-Ray, this is the one that I love
the most, and it was also the last image that I ever made with POV-Ray.
There are lots of reasons, the personal symbolism is one of the foremost,
and the colours appeal to me greatly, especially those of the background.
A lot of the things that you have listed are amoung the true meaning of the
image. Two ways of living, two ways of thinking, "trapped" by
something/someone/views/society, two complete worlds, a new life/an old
life. Extirpate/Inception.
From this image I learnt a lot about life in the process of making it.
Thank you.

Very true as well, that's what I tried to do in my Poetry... (also on my
website, Other -> The Orange Room)

Lance,
I really like the image, although what I relate it to is neither what
you had in mind nor is it a good memory. Still, I really like it. The
colors of the background seem to be your favourite because U-th, The
Zone (the new one as well) and Zenith Design all use them extensively,
as do most of the pics that you sent me and, not surprisingly, the 3D
Studio MAX R2.5 box :)
Is there a poem associated with this image?

Your *last* image? Have you quit? Converted to max? COMPLETELY!?

And that's why some people are artists and love what they do! I see it
somethink like writing a diary. When you create the model, you have to think
about *what* you actually want to say with it, and so you have to think
about your own feelings, opinions and so on. And when you're finished, you
most probably know more about yourself and your friends!
I find it difficult to be a digital artists; I am more a musician. But when
it comes to writing songs, I think it is very much the same: I often learn a
lot when I'm being creative.
Simen.

Your image is just too simple : I CAN'T do that... I'm not an artist... YOU are...

Ah yes, my favourite colours of all are the deep and grey blues and cyans,
and the bright oranges and reds. I just like them :) By the way, for
anyone interested, The Zone is now updated on a daily basis in the "Garbage"
section. Also, for anyone else interested, the MAX 3.0 box looks kewl, but
I don't yet own it.
One of the poems is associated to it, but I think that my views on the image
have changed now a bit and I don't think the poem represents it well enough
any more, so I won't tell you which one it is :)

Yes, I feel for now I have, I might go back one day to try out some new
features but I think that my POV-Ray years, at least for creating artistic
images, are over :(

Yes, I think that I at least try to create a certain mood or feeling in my
images, particularly the "VS - Violent Society" series that was a 30 second
animation that I did. I think that I learn a lot about myself when I create
the images, and maybe that's why I do it.
By the way, do you have a website Simen?

Not really. My only website is in Norwegian, which also have no graphics
stuff yet. I am working on a new one, and I'll let you know, of course. It
will reside at http://www.uio.no/~simenkv, but there is not much there
yet...
Thanks for asking! :)
Simen.
