the modeling for this entire project has been absolutely sickening... i can only hope that the speculation that a second party (in the competition) takes over for the texturing in the second portion was misleading, because i know (even though i'm not a part of this competition) that i would NEVER want to take on your monstrous perfection of a model (oh hell, ENTIRE SCENE!!!) as a way to be graded for a prize... no offense, it is definitely awe-inspiring, but damn man... the details alone would cause even the absolute pros from the forum to tremble (or even perhaps faint?) at the magnitude of work they have before them.

either way though, an awesome job thus far, and i can't wait to see more.

(oh, and yay 1000 posts for meeeeeeeeeeee! *grin*)
