Thanks indeed! I am not sure about 'one of the best' though ;-) but
then, I am never entirely satisfied myself.

Thanks! The Major is never really gone. Always present in the background ;-)

A tough question as I have doubts about almost all of them ;-)
However, I consider 'Paris la nuit' (2011) to be at the top of the bill,
not so much for its originality as it is a /copyist/ work but for the
challenge it was to me and what I achieved to do.

Thanks Sean. I am not entirely satisfied yet with the ground. Something
is eluding me there which I am trying to solve. But then, it might also
be that I leave things alone and only do the research :-)

Maybe slightly less green in the colour of the orangy parts(unless the
orange symbolizes something ;)
or desaturate it a bit by bringing the rgb values closer to each other. Or
maybe a bit of both.

No. I am ok with the textures as such. I am investigating some ideas I
have concerning the generation of height_fields and issues that can
derive from that. The basic ground feature here btw, is /not/ a
height_field but a mesh generated by HF_square. No problem there, though
I want to explore its relationships with real height_fields.

Thomas, really nice modeling on the Major, the rungs on those impossible ladders
look great, and the aerial perspective is /so/ huge; I love this!

Thank you indeed Robert. The Major was the main challenge indeed as I
wanted to explore the limits of going from one medium (the 2D comic
strip) to 3D ray-tracing. I got an impulse from such work here:
http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?252982-tribute-to-MOEBIUS-II-quot-Major-Grubert-lost-in-desert-B-quot
and I used some details from that image into my own modelling.
I am not yet finished with him. My Poser model needs further development
and it might well be that the Major will appear again in future scenes,
in a role inspired by Moebius' work but diverging from it in my own way :-)

helped me realize why I like this one better. The colors of your previous images
seemed washed out!
