I mostly submitted that shot because I thought it was about time I made something that showed off my mountains. Perhaps people were already accustomed to them from my demo and loose tile submission. :\

My next submission will probably focus on water screens.

By the way, I noticed that I contradicted myself. When I said it would be awesome if Happyman won, I was not at all serious, in case you didn't figure that out. icon_razz.gif

Unless people are poor enough to actually vote for a joke shot just because they think it's funny (if you honestly think it was the best, well, that's your opinion...), the only way I can possibly justify the amount of votes I have is this:

I couldn't find it in the poll archives, but PureZC once had a poll about your preferred tileset. The Classic tileset got the most votes. Perhaps there were several of those people who came and voted for me. I'm fairly sure it was what I mentioned above though.

I am never submitting one of these jokes again. icon_sigh.gif

NoeL: Pretty good. I like how the shark "reflects" in the water. icon_thumbsup.gif

Actually, thats called "refraction", the phenomenon of light bending when it moves through matter of different densitys (ie water/air). Light "bending" around matter is also called refraction.

eg. you're standing in a dark room and theres a light on outside.
. _
. | | <----doorframe
. / \ <----light "spreading" out on the floor

the light is refracted around the doorframe.

Just for anyone that didnt understand why it looked like there was 2 sharks, theres only 1. People with fish tanks will understand what i did a lot better.

Yeah, I know what refraction is. I was just tired and I couldn't think of any other words. Good explanation, though.

Another reason why it looks like 2 sharks is the camera angle. When you look at the tank from the side you see the shark (the "real" one). When you look at the top (usually at an angle), and the light is shining down at an angle, it will appear as though there is more than one shark. Hard to explain in detail.

Why did you bother posting? Your vote counts whether you post or not. Most of your comments don't even explain why you like/dislike them.

Funny, no one ever called having male lead characters a "fad." Try to be a little more open-minded. The female doesn't always have to be a helpless princess in pink with white silk gloves.

I suggest that you read the SoTW note topic before you comment in the future, System_Error.

If you do not have constructive feedback, just don't say anything about those shots.

I made this big list on what I didn't like about each shot. I read it over and decided I had the most retarded reasons for hating the shots this week. So I'm not even going to vote. They are all great.

Yeah this will be the first time I've won. I didn't acutely think I would win, I knew I had a chance of wining but I didn't think I'd acutely win.

Get OpenOffice. It's a free word processor. I use it to write my fan fiction.

Anyway... good job to everyone out there.
