This is a pretty good doodle. Nice work James.

Very nice, I wish my non-doodles were as good.

The perspective bothers me tho'. Did you use a narrow camera angle?
Focal blurr implies a close-up view but I don't see any obvious
distortion.

Thanks for all the comments everybody.  I used a camera angle of 10 
degrees and a very slight focal blur centered a little to the right of 
the bulls eye.

You can have a small DOF (depth of field = the "zone" that appears sharp 
in the final image) regardless of your camera to subject distance, like 
in this image. The things that affect DOF are magnification and 
aperture. Magnification is affected by focal length and subject distance.

The original image thus looked like a photgraph taken with a long lens 
using a very, very large aperture.

Very nice, I like the white&black texture... How did you do that?

Thanks for the comments.  For the dartboard, I cut slices out of a 
cylinder, used solid pigments on each slice, then rendered it against a 
black background with an orthagonal camera to be used as an image map in 
the final image.  It probably would have been easier to just make an 
image map with a paint program, but I'm terrible at those things.  The 
final textures are just the solid colors from the image map with a 
granite normal overlaid with a scaled down T_Crack2 texture from stones.inc.

Hi James,
I'm a darter myself playing in the NDA.
Would it be possible to post your source?
I would like to use it as a background on our stats PC.
TIA

Sure, I'll post it in scene files.  It's kind of messy though.
